Why watch this film?
A young man who is curious about his deceased parents' past takes a food journey to Singapore where he uncovers more than just delicious meals.
"Indulge your eyes and taste buds with this touching film by Eric Khoo, of 'Mee Pok Man' and 'Tatsumi' fame. The story is about a young Japanese man who goes to Singapore in search of his past, rediscovering his mother's diary and an uncle who owns a lamen shop in the city-state. Thus begins a journey not just gastronomic, but also through the past of tensions between the Singaporeans and the Japanese - who occupied the region during World War II. A metaphor about memory, that shows that films can be as tasty as a good bowl of lamen."
