Behind the Food in 'Crazy Rich Asians'
"Lunch At Peik Lin’s House Location: An Agong’s Palace in Kuala Lumpur Peik Lin’s mother, Neena, invites Rachel to “sit down for a simple lunch” in their sprawling Villa D’Oro. But See pointed out that the meal was anything but simple. “The lunch scene was filmed from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.,” he says. “Initially, everyone was so excited, but by lunchtime, we were so full.” The dining table was decked out with ornate gold platters piled with 12 to 15 types of food. These included chicken rice with four de-boned white chickens, vegetables with mushrooms,yong tau foo, lobster and prawn cocktail, soup in an intricately carved winter melon bowl and auspicious gold-hued pineapples stuffed with rice." - Kenneth Goh
