Director Raymond Yip Wai-man said, “The movie is made to celebrate the talents in the culinary world. It is a story about a true culinary journey and the love between family and friends. Besides connecting with the real Michelin-starred chefs and restaurants, we had to find an iconic destination that is capable of touching people’s heart and is also memorable to them.”
Lead actor Nicholas Tse also teamed up with Chef Tam Kwok Fung, Director of Culinary Operations of Melco Crown Entertainment, for a live cooking demonstration yesterday which saw the pair cook one of the signature dishes of Studio City restaurant Pearl Dragon.
