A postcard for people who lust after food porn. At the same time, the film idealises food in such a way that it can impress you with the detail of pork ribs and convince you that a soup prepared with love can bridge the gaps between cultures, nations and generations. The characters’ very kitschy, sentimental and psychological motives make for extremely simplistic, yet essentially pleasant pop – though perhaps a bit too pleasant, given the seriousness of the topic (Singaporeans’ hatred towards the Japanese because of the atrocities committed during the war). 55%

My first Singaporean film and it got me by how it portrays relationships and by one bowl of well-prepared Japanese ramen. And by ramen I really mean the famous Singaporean dish of pork noodles. I must add that the film as well as ramen are both extraordinary. There is a visible Japanese influence so you have to accept that there are plenty of scenes where emotions and feeling are expressed in a masochistic and depressing way… but overall, it is still a very nice and heartwarming movie.
