The Chinese Feast

The Chinese Feast 1995

金玉满堂 jīnyùmǎntáng

Within a few years, petty crook Chiu rises to gang leader. But his professional ambitions are actually quite different: he wants to leave illegality behind and make a career for himself and his lover in Canada... as a chef. However, this craft must first be learned and Chiu's talent in the field of cooking leaves much to be desired.
