Granted this is my first time watching Thai movie. All thanks to Netflix for recommending this.
The food looks delicious and with the movie Menu that came out previously, you have the similar vibes. What is lacking is probably the plot...
Aoy is a street cook that got a chance to work in a very top fine dining restaurant... because she cooks very good noodle?
It was hard to believe since yes, you can cook very good and delicious noodle, but cooking the same kind of noodles your whole life is not the same as cooking for fine dining where you have to know culinary techniques and master every other ingredients. And if she is that gifted, her shop would be full of people just lining up to eat her noodles. Maybe if she was shown to be interested in the fine dining scene but never got a chance too, much like the chef's background story, it would be more believable and more thematically.
There was also a scene that presented comically and cliche. Ah yes she is still playing safe, time to pick up the wok again. And that new design for the restaurant is ridiculous and a hazard. Too tiny of a box with a big flame. Where do you even put your ingredients in such small space.
I dont know much about the actress but she basically only has one expression. She looks good though and probably a model with her skinny and long limps.
This movie could have been something but it just fizzle out. The ending is ridiculous and just fall flat.
It would be better if they show more cooking techniques too and explain why fine dining is expensive and the techniques that goes into it. How do you emulsified, why do you turn it into foam or something. Is it pretentious? Or does it really make it more delicious?
There is a message that this movie wanted to deliver but in the end it just fizzle out and everything stay the same.
