Production values, from the gorgeous main title onwards, are top of the line and, as in that great other Chinese food movie, “Eat Drink Man Woman,” the vittles look good enough to, well, eat.
THE CHINESE FEAST ANITA YUEN SINGS MOVIE
The movie also pushes a philosophy that runs through many of Tsui’s pictures: that success in any endeavor can only be achieved by group effort.Ĭheung and Yuen show fine screen chemistry here, with the former clearly having aball goofing around, and the latter giving a passable impression of “Chung King Express” discovery Faye Wong in red hair and loopy clothes. In between, however, Tsui has some pre-’97 sport showing disorganized but fast-thinking Hong Kongers teaching a few things to humorless, arrogant Mainlanders. Pic is essentially a modern-day version of the rival-schools costume dramas, with cooking skills replacing martial arts expertise. Hawling him back to Hong Kong, Sun and Kawai race to rehone his five key senses so he can rep Au’s eatery in the contest, based on three dishes (bear paw, elephant trunk, monkey brains) in the famed, multicourse Qing & Han Imperial Feast. Liu, who (per the movie’s prologue) lost out in a contest five years ago against the same Mainlander, is now an alcoholic derelict. She is like a hawk guarding her husband to make sure he has no opportunity to come scross a nice woman to threaten her podition as Julian’s wife. Use threats to control her son Yet she has not shown any gentleness towards her husband. She has been married to Julian Cheung since February 8, 2001. Use tears to make Julian feel guilty and protective towards her. She is an actress, known for C'est la vie, mon chri (1993), He's a Woman, She's a Man (1994) and Protg (2007). When Au is challenged to a culinary contest by an arrogant Mainland chef (Zhao Wenzhuo), but has a heart attack, Sun and Ka-wai try to save the day by tracking down Master Liu (Kenny Bee) across the border in Canton. Anita Yuen was born on Septemin Hong Kong, British Crown Colony as Wing-Yee Yuen. Signing on at the restaurant of Master Au, he immediately creates chaos in the kitchen, as well as getting entangled with Au’s ditzy daughter, Ka-wai (Anita Yuen).

Pic is essentially a modern-day version of the rival-schools costume dramas, with cooking skills replacing martial arts expertise. Ning Tsai-Shen, a humble tax collector, arrives in a small town to car. She also gave a powerful performance in, for instance, The Chinese Feast. The humor of this film is built on the situation and the characters more so than the usual HK slapstick type comedy - though the silly large fish scene put me in stitches and that was not sophisticated comedy by any. Anita Yuen Wing-yi (born 4 September 1971) is a Hong Kong film and television.
