"The people take food as the sky", and the ability to cook is an innate talent of human beings.
For food, in addition to a full taste, the feelings under the taste buds also make our hearts throbb.
Food soothes the stomach, while food movies heal the heart.
Today, Yoka Jun contributes domestic food films that have been cherished for many years, each of which can make you eat a few more bowls of white rice.

In 1995, it condensed almost the top configuration of the Hong Kong film industry at that time.
Top action film director Tsui Ke. In the process of cooking, the cheerfulness and neatness of action movies are mixed, and the details of Chinese food culture are not lost, and the story of the jianghu in the back kitchen is told at a brisk pace. It's one of the most dynamic food movies.

Top camera director Bao Dexi. Good at using color and unique perspective capture, so that every piece of meat in the stir-fry spoon is full of vitality, this close but untouchable sense of distance, fiercely poking into the audience's heart socket. Five years after "Full House", Bao Dexi won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography for filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Top composer Lu Guanting. Composer Lu Guanting is well known to netizens for "Love of a Lifetime", but the soundtrack in this movie, Ah Mi believes that he does not lose "Journey to the West" at all.
Top actors Zhang Guorong and Yuan Yongyi. In 1995, almost the best age for my brother and Liang Liang, both the appearance and the acting status are very online, so some people say that this is a comedy romance film.
But then again, the reason why "Full Of Han" can solve the problem is entirely because the core content of this movie is in the food. As soon as the movie opens, it is a "full table of full hans" shot from the top, and the credits all look like the names of the dishes.
The story begins with the competition of "the world's first chef", allowing YOKA Jun to see a hundred ways to stew rice. From the beginning of the meter selection, it contains the technical content:
The rice in the north is naturally dried, and the particles are relatively hard;
The rice in the south is machine dried and has cracks on the surface:
The double kitchen frantically outputs, adding unique ingredients to the steaming process, just to compete for the bottom taste of the rice.
The knife work of top celebrity chefs is also shown in the movie:
This blown-up and broken Buddha statue, even if it is machine-made, it is difficult, right?
After the male and female protagonists entered, the heroine's father, the boss of Man han Lou, ushered in the second challenge in the movie: the back kitchen rivals Grunt meat and dried fried beef river. The classic degree of this competition is no less than the fighting piano in "The Pianist of the Sea", and I will give you a few finished pictures:
The rock sugar grunts the meat, the syrup instantly freezes into a plucked silk, and the juice flows out of the cracks in the ice:
Crispy dried fried beef river, sprinkled with foreign wine to light the fire, the last bit of oil of the river of cattle is cooked:
Instant noodle ads can't fix such photos.
After watching the movie for more than twenty years, I have never eaten the rock sugar grunt meat and crispy dried fried beef river in the movie, so I always think that this movie must be enshrined.
The film ends in the third competition, as the official "Full Table of Man Han", three feasts, respectively, with bear paws, elephant trunks and monkey brains as the theme of cooking. The film shows three rare ingredients that are no longer allowed to be eaten (why bears are so cute and eat bears), and the narration from luxury and food culture depicts the once trenches to the unimaginable royal banquet scenes for the audience.
In the film, there is no shortage of directors' reasonable customization of the "full table of Manhan", such as: freezing bear paws with liquid nitrogen, and then siphoning hot sturgeon soup:
In order not to kill the cute monkeys, various poultry brains are mixed with tofu and carved into the shape of a monkey brain, echoing the tofu eight immortals of Master Liao at the beginning of the film:
In addition to the showmanship, the whole movie does not have too heavy life education lessons, and is full of the warmth and comfort of the New Year file. Relive this film on every suffocating night that is about to transform into the living dead and come back to life with the rhythm of the music, the surge of colors, and the brilliance of love.
《Hainan Chicken Rice》
Hainanese chicken, easy to eat and not easy to make, is a familiar face in Singapore restaurants. Restaurants that sell Hainanese chicken rice rarely see other foods except chicken rice and green vegetables. Because people's greatest expectations are to sit down and blow the wind, drink a bowl of soup, and eat a chicken rice.

Restaurants selling Hainan chicken are generally small facades, and in the movie "Hainan Chicken Rice", Ah Zhen relies on the ancestral Hainan chicken secret recipe to take root in Singapore and feed three sons who were abandoned by her ex-husband.
Ah Zhen is traditional, she hopes that her three sons can follow the incense, but with the appearance of the eldest and second eldest, she begins to worry about the orientation of the younger son. So much so that he took in the French beauty exchange student at home, just to give his son "enlightenment", the result was to push his son, and the Zhenji restaurant completely became a "boy base".
In the movie, the traditional food of Hainan chicken rice, in addition to overflowing with its own aroma, also shoulders the task of figurative expression of the film's ideas. Ah Zhen = Hainan chicken = conservative, while three sons = the newly emerged Hainan duck rice = new world. So the movie showed me hunger on the one hand, on the other hand, when my mother still chose to try Hainan duck rice, even the steel straight woman can feel the release of pressure.
In addition to Hainan chicken in the movie, Singapore's specialty pepper crab, and more common Indian food have also appeared, in fact, it seems that YOKA Jun privately thinks that the best food is the tender and elastic chicken, and the oily chicken fat rice.
"Spring Breeze Triumphant Meilong Town"
What are you eating when you eat vegetables? For many Chinese, it's about atmosphere, emotion, or art. The movie "Spring Breeze Triumphant Meron Town" gives a background that spans half the world to explain what a restaurant can pass on to its descendants and diners.

In Chinese New Year's Eve 1947, several owners of the famous Shanghai restaurant "Meilong Town" and a chef joined forces to cook a thirteen-course "Victory Banquet", and a year later, several people parted ways, until half a century later, the descendants of several bosses in Meilong Town gathered together again to try to reproduce the "Victory Banquet".
The story is an old story, and the dish code is very hard. A few minutes of a famous scene can make anyone cry silently in the "night of wanting to eat". It's not just the chef's various meal shots:
In the plot, from the protagonist to the vegetarian to eat as soon as he has the opportunity, the close-up is very in place, this Scene of Jin Shijie eating noodles, who can not want to move chopsticks:
At the end of the story, the people in the back kitchen get together to eat lychees, just to grill chicken with lychee shells and carbon, and the moment the oven is turned on, the whole audience is sublimated.
To tell the truth, although it is an old movie, the braised hooves and crystal shrimp in the plot are too good in color, and it is easy to cause "synaesthesia", as if they have smelled through the eyes, watching the movie grilled rice is enough.
"Eating Men and Women"
As early as five years ago, Long Xiong and Wu Qianlian in "Spring Breeze Proud Meilong Town" had cooperated. Ang Lee's famous food movie "Eating Men and Women" is highly evaluated in the circle of literary and artistic hungry frogs.

People who have not eaten the meal cooked by YOKA Jun's father are not enough to talk about the taste bottom line of food. So when I brushed "Diet Men and Women", I first lamented that my daughters have good fathers, and they are completely blessed in the blessing.
At first, Dad laid out a good table. How good it is, anyway, it is much better than my Chinese New Year's Eve this year. They all say the chef doesn't cook after work, but the chef asks his three daughters to come home for a big meal every week. When the bright colors of the dishes illuminated the daughters' collapsed faces, I knew it must be a sad story.
Cooking and raising children are things he can do for the rest of his life, but these two abilities are being lost. Without a sense of taste, it was difficult for him to continue to be the head chef of the restaurant; the three daughters who had grown up and had their own ideas did not want to live with him forever.
Old Zhu withered faster than his youth in his old age, until he met his young female neighbor Jinrong. He gave the love that had nowhere to rest to the people closest to him, and the bento he brought to Jinrong's little daughter was strangely rich. When the crumbling home was completely destroyed by this "old and strong", he began to have a happy ending.
"Eating Men and Women" is actually a family relationship interpretation film, although there are many frames of smoke, fragrant meals, but how many people put their efforts into the meal, how many people go to waste.
These movies, although they can solve the temporary hunger, let you not be eclipsed by white rice. But eating alone is always lonely.
Maybe when you look up and look around, you will find that there are actually a lot of ruts in your meal. Like me?
