Yan Chow is the younger sister of Mandy and loves to eat dried foods, especially dried lemons. Mandy and Yan did not know they were sisters until they became good friends. Terry Ng lives in Singapore with his bossy mother and quiet father.

Terry joined Yummy Yummy because he discovered that the contestants would receive the chance to go to Hong Kong. Terry's girlfriend, Jane lived in Hong Kong and he wanted to find her. Chan Ka Bo is the younger sister of Chan Ka Lok. She met Terry because he was one of her brother's good friends. Yuko Leong is the only daughter of a wealthy businessman.
