film synopsis
Masato, a young Japanese ramen chef, leaves his hometown in Japan to embark on a culinary journey to Singapore to discover the truth about his parents' past. There he uncovers a lot more than family secrets and delicious recipes. Having spent his early years in Singapore, he wants to rekindle his connection with his mother's home country and seek out long-estranged family members for whom the memory of the Japanese invasion and occupation during World War II is still very fresh. This ode to Singapore's rich culinary heritage in an immigrant country where foods from different cultures merge gives a sense of nostalgia. The gastronomic comedy is also about memories and forgiveness bringing together two of Japan's and Singapore's most popular dishes. Shot with mouthwatering close-ups, famed Singapore director Eric Khoo gives us a gentle drama that will enthrall both foodies and incurable romantics.
