[Movie Review] Ramen Teh 情牵拉面茶

Masato, a young Ramen chef, leaves his hometown in Japan to embark on a culinary journey to Singapore to find out the truth about his past. He uncovers a lot more than family secrets and delicious recipes.

Watched Ramen Teh 情牵拉面茶 with mummy at GV Paya Lebar yesterday evening. 

Personally, I thought that this film was simple with a focused story-line but somewhat, predictable. Initially, it may appear rather slow-paced but thankfully, the progression of each scenes gradually got better with a conducive plot. Its definitely more lively when Uncle Wee (Mark Lee) started to appear on screen. 

Though the highlight were particularly on those few characters, the story itself was still engaging. It educated viewers to let go of the grudges, learn to accept and forgive your loved ones. It also reminded me the importance of kinship and cherish them dearly.

If you are a avid food lover/food blogger, I believe you will relate and appreciate this film better. A heart-warming story filled with emotions and a taste of local flavour.

Just finished watching A Lonely Fish 寂寞鱼• 听见 , which was shown only on Toggle.

Personally, I felt that the show was interesting and had a focused story-line. Though only a few characters are introduced, it was still engaging. It also triggered those good nostalgic memories during high school. At the same time, it reminded me on the importance of kinship. This film had an unexpected twist towards the finale which heightened the show. The hidden truth then began to piece up and enlighten viewers.
