Eric Khoo-helmed “Food Lore” aims to explore a number of social issues throughout Asia, by connecting them with the local cuisines. Ho Yuhang, of “Mrs. K” fame directs the Malaysian entry, although in a style much similar to Hong Kong movies.
Food Lore is available on HBO Asia and HBO
The story revolves around two radically different characters. Tim is an ambitious, multi-leveled-marketer who has moved to Kuala Lumpur from the country in order to hit it big. As the story begins, however, he has not accomplished much, and in fact, his life is in shambles. At one point he meets a potential client in a rather unusual restaurant which is situated in an almost abandoned department store, and that seems to be run by rude criminals, headed by Maki, the chef. At the same time, though, Maki’s sambal is excellent, which gives Tim an idea to make a franchise of the place.
