THE LEGEND:                   
A beautiful young girl from the countryside started in life begging and singing in the streets of Shanghai. Eventually she was discovered by a Cabaret owner who made her the star act of his famed establishment in Shanghai. Courted by many men and adventurers she fell in love with a handsome Japanese officer but their passionate love affair led to his demise - in Maggie’s own hands.                
As the prime suspect of the Japanese army, she fled Shanghai in 1937 and travelled to Bangkok. One day, while walking by the hotel she was staying in, she found a shop house selling noodles and fell in love with it. After having purchased the business and during renovations, she found a door behind a wall that led to a derelict old bank, once owned by the East Indian Trading Company... And thus the legend began...
