I have been seeing my Malaysian blogger friends talking about this movie on Twitter for the last few weeks but it did not arouse too much a interest in me.
However, that was before I watched the Curry Neh! 咖哩咧! MV on Facebook yesterday.
The Bollywood-styled MV got me sitting up and yeah, the movie has gotten my attention now.
Synopsis:Young Chef Huang (Namewee) struggles to get his restaurant business going because he cannot adapt to the 'localized' cooking his patrons are looking for.
However, contradict to his unpopular cuisine, he is also well-known as 'Hero Huang' in the local neighborhood where he carries out good deed in helping the community until he met Xiao K (Karen Kong) who got him into deep trouble.
In order to get his life and the restaurant business back on track, Chef Huang must now seek help from a mysterious hawker stall lady (Adibah Noor), who summons him to embark on the extraordinary journey of his life.
During this self-enlightening experience, he will also meet many 'local heroes' each lending their support to help him re-discover his roots and the real hidden message of 'Nasi Lemak'.
Due to the hilarious MV, I began to do some research regarding this movie which comprises of a multicultural cast of Malaysian stars.
From the various positive movie reviews, I gather this is a 1Malaysian movie with some hidden sarcasm and finger pointing at certain issues that are happening right in Malaysia.
Well, this is no surprise as it was directed by Namewee, who rose to youtube stardom with his "Nagarakuku" rap which attracted alot of controversy in Malaysia back then.
I still recall watching this news report on TVBS channel as he was studying in a Taiwan university when the incident occured.
Nevertheless, I would definitely watch this movie, if it is coming to Singapore.
Totally dig this song Curry Neh! 咖哩咧!
咖哩咧!
女：忽然就不见 忽然又出现
就像电影里面的情节
又在树后面 又在花丛间
看见男女主角儿
两个人相恋 西塔配和弦
又是一首浪漫的配乐
从大街唱歌跳舞奔跑到草原
快乐直到永远
男：恒河灌溉着农田
滋润了每一个季节
就像你给的爱 填满了我生命里的空缺
合：让我们一起做咖哩咧
让我们一起吃咖哩咧
遥遥你的头 抖抖你的手
用香料调配出各种喜悦
让我们一起做咖哩咧
让我们一起吃咖哩咧
幸幸福福的 快快乐乐的
就是要一起煮咖哩咧
圆的可以拿 方的可以拿
拿了都一起做咖哩咧
咖哩咧

Karen Kong in this MV reminds me of Fann Wong.
Why is the MV about Curry when the show is about Nasi Lemak? Lol!
