Even though this is a 1994 movie, it has a 80's feel to it (what with the big hair, short mini skirts and all). Very interesting to see what a Taiwanese city looked like back then. I got the sense that I missed quite a lot of inside jokes, but got some others as well (various Asian cultures aren't all that different, after all). In the movie, the food is used as a prop to convey lots of feelings, emotions and communications. And, pretty much everything in life is about what the title says, aint it? Quite a nice story. My rating: 7.0
