This film is based on the novel of Shu Qiao, a famous food columnist. Shu Qiao is good at combining food with the complex emotions of urbanites. Movies really turn words into colorful and delicious dishes.
The first half of the film is romantic and beautiful. The stewardess Jiang was conquered. She is determined to listen to Yu Nan and keep a man's stomach and his heart with delicious dishes. The first dish that appeared on the screen was a pot of mutton chop with pepper and ginger. It was so delicious that Wu Zhenyu ate the whole pot upside down. And this dish also has an aphrodisiac effect. After tasting the sweetness brought by the first course, Jiang continued to serve the second and third courses, such as crispy brain flowers, dried celery, goose wings with onion in oyster sauce, cucumber eggs, steamed hairy crabs, chestnuts, sweet and sour pork, crispy fried bananas and Pleurotus eryngii. Every time Wu Zhenyu eats to his heart's content, it also makes the audience in front of the screen quite enjoyable. With the typed subtitles, you can understand the efficacy and practice of each dish, which is simply a food guide with various sounds and tastes.
With the development of the second half of the film, the audience learned another trick, that is, which foods can't be mixed together, such as vitamin C and shrimp, which will turn into arsenic when mixed in the stomach. Which food mixture will hurt the kidney, which food mixture will hurt the heart, and which food mixture will hurt the internal organs, which will be revealed later.
