Food, glorious food

My wife says I over romanticize movies I have watched and liked, especially when it comes to chinese movies.

I downloaded Thunderbolt by Jackie Chan a few weeks ago, and I have to say she's probably right. I used to like this movie, but it was decidedly very average at best.

I have always loved cooking movies and shows, especially competition. That explains my love for the God of Cooking, and the reason why I downloaded so many Iron Chefs and Jamie Oliver shows.

One show I particularly loved is The Chinese Feast. I actually had this video tape in Melbourne, and I bought the VCD twice only to lose it to relatives who never returned the VCDs. Its damn near impossible to find.

Fortunately I found it on Youtube. Unfortunately, its pretty bad. I think anything Anita Yuen acts in is crap. But the cooking scenes are still great though.


Mmmmm feel like sweet and sour pork or noodles right now.

Part 3

The God of Cookery by Stephen Chow is definitely funnier, better filming, better rated overall, but I have a soft spot for the Chinese Feast

Anyway, here's the God of Cookery:
