I went to the restaurant downstairs to order a meal the other day. The 40-inch LCD monitor on the wall is playing Stephen Chow's Gourmet. Diners are absorbed in revisiting the classics.
Hong Kong movies in the last century. In the film, Stephen Chow is betrayed by "friends" and lives on the streets. He ordered double-edged turkey chop suey noodles and was picky about food while eating.
Stephen Chow is an arrogant, harsh and unscrupulous profiteer. He pretends to be a god of food. People are afraid of him and flatter him. He is a god in the sky. He didn't realize his situation until he failed, and his strength was unstoppable. He was as embarrassed as Reservoir Dogs, but he finally calmed his floating heart, carefully studied pee-pee pills, made omnipotent friends, and learned what loneliness and lovesickness are.
He found his true self.
The film ushered in the most wonderful moment, and he selflessly participated in the God of Food Competition. It is said that it is nothing more than barbecued pork rice with a poached egg, but he insists on calling it "ecstasy rice". In his eyes, food is no longer just food, it represents the lovesickness and repentance for turkey.
Barbecued pork is spread on glittering and translucent white rice, topped with sauce, decorated with green Chinese cabbage, and finally covered with poached eggs fried by Huoyun. Compared with the opponent's super invincible sea view Buddha jumping wall, it's really average.
But the judges' expressions speak for themselves. "It's delicious!" As delicious as swimming in the sea, it leaves sad tears. He was fascinated just because he tasted the bowl of barbecued rice left by the turkey alone in the middle of the night.

I went to Hong Kong a few years ago and was taken to a tea restaurant by a friend. I tried the long-awaited barbecued pork rice.
A bowl of barbecued pork rice was served, without poached eggs and too much pepper and spices, which was relatively light. I think it should be similar to Japanese food, and the ingredients tend to be original. But after eating one piece, I found that it can instantly open the barbecued pork of human taste buds, just like the fast-flowing comic book behind the moment tasted by fortune tellers in the movie, which has a sense of surprise.
The thin barbecued pork looks ruddy and shiny in the warm white light. Take a bite, and the full gravy immediately rushes to the cavity wall. The meat is fresh and tender, salty and slightly sweet and smooth. Another piece is inevitable. With the fragrant and full rice, the tip of your tongue dances to satisfy your heart, and you can't help screaming.
"Every piece of gravy with barbecued pork is sealed in fiber, like a river gathering. The tendons inside have been interrupted by internal work, and the entrance is loose. Plus, the fried sugar heart poached eggs with fire clouds are delicious. Nothing can be described. " However, after careful tasting, I feel that this is the taste of the food itself. After a while, my heart gradually calmed down and immersed in this bowl of "authenticity".
The sweetness of barbecued pork is from the inside out. Ask a friend, he said that the sauce is just to make the taste stronger. The meat is delicious, and it is marinated in a special barbecue sauce. Simply put, you can buy Lee Kum Kee's barbecued pork sauce, refuel yourself, make wine and honey.
Pork belly is knocked loose with a meat hammer, sliced, fully kneaded with sauce and marinated for one night. Take it out the next day, brush it with a layer of sauce and honey, and bake it in the oven for about 10 minutes.
Everyone can, but everyone prefers to go to a tea restaurant, because few people wait patiently, marinate all night and are busy chasing success. For them, food only needs to be tasted, without sincerity.
Before his failure, Stephen Chow knew that food should be cooked with heart, but this was not the case. People always get it all the way and lose it all the way.
I have never tried to cook such barbecued pork rice. This bowl of rice has been given a new meaning in the "God of Food", which is fascinating. In my eyes, it is already a lonely meal. This kind of loneliness is hidden in the gorgeous tea restaurants and crowded people in Hong Kong, interrupted by fast-paced music and covered by the horn of cars.
I hope that I can always uphold this truth, constantly fulfill my dream of food, be neither arrogant nor impetuous, advance with Keiko, Laowu and Haiyun, and be my own god of food. That bowl of ecstasy may be a good medicine for me to warn myself.
At the end of the movie, Stephen Chow won the competition, and the turkey got a better performance in Behind the Dark Clouds. The paper with an arrow through the heart suggests the ending.
I don't think dreams are illusory ideas. As long as you are willing to work hard, dreams can be realized, and people with dreams can't run away.
