About Chicken Rice Mystery
A young boy ponders one of the greatest mysteries of his life: just why is his mother's cooking so appalling? His father claims his mother lost her cooking skills when she gave birth to him. But there remains one sole culinary treat, so tantalisingly tasty, our small friend simply has to find out how it is made... his mother's sublime chicken and rice dish.
Directed by Edmund Yeo, Chicken Rice Mystery leans on a strong ensemble — Lim Ming Wei, Kimmy Kiew, Chye Yang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2008.
