Warms the Heart

This movie touched my heart. In a world of million dollar action movies, this brought me back to the complex, yet oh so important need for family. In this case, food was the conduit. And who doesn't feel even more emotion when food is involved. Relax, give yourself a treat, and succumb to a truly meaningful slice of life.

Fabulous food and Family feud

This is like Crazy Rich Asians, minus the crazy rich, but a bit stretched out in time (see belelsene's review). A young chef leaves Japan for Singapore, location of his early life, searching for his maternal family, the secrets to his mother's notebook, and recipes to bring home. Along the way, he learns of the humble origins of the popular noodles, Singapore food, and the origin of his mother-in-law's distaste for his father.

Slow but entertaining

First: the great grand father of the main character got killed during WW2, so belelsene has got the timeline wrong. Enjoyable movie, although not much is happening.

A minor classic

I began watching this to take up time recovering from minor illnes. But gradually came to realise I n was watching something special.

The movie examines the misery brought on others through meaness and attitudes brought on by wartime outcomes.

I am not explaining the underlying themes very well. I need to digest this movie intellectually. Watch it. I hope it moves you like it did, me. D

touching

A correct, touching film about past, family, reconciliation. And, off course, food. Clash of cultures, old traumas, delicate definitions of obstacles and reconquest of the past states , well acted and a storytelling reminding slow way of water , it is just touching and beautiful and seductive in profound senses.
