    25th Hong Kong Film Awards:
  • Won: Best New Director (Kenneth Bi)
  • Nominated: Best Actress (Sylvia Chang)
  • Jury Award for Best Actress (Sylvia Chang, 2005 Newport Beach Film Festival)
  • Platinum Award for Best First Feature (Kenneth Bi, 2005 Worldfest Houston)
  • Top Ten Chinese Language Films of 2005 (Chinese Film Critics Association)
  • Outstanding Screenplay (Kenneth Bi, Taiwan Government Information Office)

Kenneth Bi, son of the famous Chinese actress Ivy Ling Po, was born in Singapore and educated in the States. Having a reputation as Ang Lee the second, his Rice Rhapsody strikes a chord of resonance with Lee's successful films Eat Drink Man Woman (also starring Sylvia Chang) and The Wedding Banquet, in terms of stylistic elements as well as thematic concerns.

Hainan (Hi-Nahn) Chicken Rice is one of the staples of Singaporean cuisine, a Chinese risotto sizzled in a pan and simmered in chicken stock, glistening with chicken essence and fragrant with ginger, every grain plump and separate yet chewy and bursting with juice.

After being abandoned by her husband twelve years earlier, Jen (Sylvia Chang: "Eat Drink Man Woman", "The Red Violin". Best Actress of Hong Kong Film Awards 2002 - "Forever and Ever"), raised her three sons alone. She uses her mother's secret Hainan Chicken Rice recipe and opened a restaurant to support the family.

Her two older sons, Daniel and Harry are gay. As a woman with traditional values, Jen is fretful that she would have no grandchildren, if Leo, too, turns out to be gay.

Together she and her best friend, Kim Chui (Martin Yan: famous Chinese cuisine TV chef "Yan Can Cook") device a plan to keep Leo straight by bringing in a French exchange student to live with them. She is Leo's age and her name is Sabine. Leo develops a strange but intriguing relationship with her, which greatly pleases Jen.

However, things begin to crumble for her again when Kim Chui becomes "the toast of the town" with his invention of a new dish deeply challenging her Chicken Rice. Kim Chui becomes a national celebrity overnight, and Jen's self-esteem is threatened.

Finally, their conflicts come to a head when Jen participates in a cooking contest with Kim Chui and other chefs from Singapore. Food unexpectedly becomes a medium that not only nourishes their bodies but also opens their hearts...
