Grandma's secret recipe? You. A 25-minute nightmare feast.
Wing Sum, a little girl frequently neglected by her mother, is sent to her grandmother's mansion for a temporary stay on a stormy night. There begins a series of queer events. First there is a power outage, then her grandmother reveals her most well kept secret: she is a cannibal all along, and tonight she is having her grand daughter for dinner. Chased by a maniacal cannibal in her own territory, there is seemingly no escape for Wing Sum. She is however miraculously rescued by the queerest turn of events.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nina Paw Hei-Ching, the grandmother, was 70 during filming — her decades of gentle grandmother roles in Hong Kong TV made this subversion extra shocking for local audiences.
The title 'Flesh' triples as body, family ties, and vulnerability — the Cantonese word 肉 (yuk) carries all these weights in Hong Kong horror tradition.
