When food is love…
Directed by Eric Khoo

A tender, meditative journey through family history and culinary tradition, where food becomes the language for healing emotional distance and reconnecting with lost roots.
Masato is a young ramen chef in Japan. When he finds his late mother's journal after the sudden death of his emotionally distant father, he takes it with him to her native country, Singapore, hoping to piece together the story of his family and his life.
