There are many things to note in the movie: as a chef, Master Zhu, his cooking skills, such as jade plate delicacies, fire and phoenix cooking dragons... are all commonplace meals, and they are always exquisite and fragrant when they are eaten. Superb cooking skills, a dazzling array of kitchen utensils... It's really shocking! The characters are three-dimensional, full and close to life. Those subtle communication between people, mutual understanding and conflicts, people who dare to love and hate are characters, and people know how to advance and retreat...depicted vividly, but without any burden. The plot is full of humor, not only the social atmosphere of the 1990s, but also the epitome of today's trendy society, which is very commendable.

Eat Drink Man Woman quotes

  • Old Wen: Old Chu, do'nt get upset. Girls eventually leave home. It was bound to happen.

    Chu: I'm not upset. I hope they all move out, so I can have a quiet life.

    Old Wen: Quiet life? I know you. What you want, you can't get. What you don't want, you can't get rid of. You're as repressed as a turtle. That old maid of yours, Jia-Jen, will stick to you for life unless you marry her off!

    Chu: Marry who? Since she lost her asshole college boyfriend she's never looked at another man. You know that.

    Old Wen: And now she has the perfect boyfriend: Jesus Christ.

    Chu: Don't make fun of her religion! How is it that for 30 years I have put up this kind of talk from you?

    Old Wen: The truth is, you should be thankful someone's around to tell the truth.

  • Chu: I don't understand any of them, and I don't want to know. Let them grow up and leave. It's like cooking. Your appetite's gone when the dish is done.

    Old Wen: That's not the worst thing. At least people like your cooking.

    Chu: Honestly, Id' have to give that up if it hadn't been for you lately. My sense of taste is getting worse and worse. My food is only as good as the expression on your face.

    Old Wen: Don't be silly. You rely on your feelings when you cook, not your taste buds. Like that Western deaf composer, called Bee...

    Chu: Beethoven.

    Old Wen: That's right, Beethoven. Good sound is not in the ear, good taste is not in the mouth...and good sex...

    [laughs]

    Old Wen: God knows where!

    Chu: You're drunk!
