Movie Review: The Wedding Ringer

Posted on January 28, 2015 by Hazel

The Wedding Ringer Movie is directed by Jeremy Garelick.

Synopsis:

Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem which he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc. The company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.

My Review/ Verdict:

I enjoyed the movie with comedy story. The story is rather interesting plot. Hilarious and dramatic scenes starts from the beginning of the movie. The chemistry between Kevin Hart and Josh Gad brings out the humour and comedic in the scenes. I am also amazed by the ability of constant switching acting styles by Kevin Hart which injects the laughters and entertainments. And of course, there are touching moments towards the end where both leads found friendship in each other and the meaning of love.

P/S: Thanks to Sony Pictures for the invites.

Whenever weekend comes, my parents will decide whether to have home cook meal or dine out. During my last weekend, we went to Seng Steamed Fish Restaurant. Located at neighbourhood place where locals only know, the restaurant is situated near the end of Jalan Keris in Taman Sri Tebrau. Despite the location, their business is good with flowing customers all the time.

The lady boss gave a choice either steamed or fried. We opt for Seng Steam Fish’s signature deep fried boneless fish RM30.00. The fish is presented with 3D display where the fleshes are cut open. Deep crispy fried fish with the balance of sweet and sour with Thai style sauce. There are mayonnaise spreads over the dish as well.

Braised Pork with Braised Tofu and Preserved Vegetables RM20.00 which is also known as 3 in 1 dish by the staff. So, when you are patronizing and the staff said 3 in 1, this is the dish that they are referring to. Well balance portion served and the braised pork is tender and soft to my liking. As for the braised tofu and preserved vegetables, it is just taste like the way it should be.

Pumpkin with Yam was simple and yet comforting dish to go with in a meal.

Bitter Gourds with eggs tasted average. I would prefer to go with salted egg yolk though. Lady boss gave us a good price RM15.00 for both dishes (Pumpkin with Yam & Bitter gourds with egg). The portion is for 3pax.

Bak Kut Teh RM30.00 is available in the list. But I would suggest giving it a miss as it is not their signature one. There is no other ingredients in expect for meaty pork ribs and the soup.

Our total bill was RM100.00 for 5 pax which includes a pot of chinese tea RM5.00 and 5 bowls of rice. A bowl of rice costs RM1.00 and she said give us free for the rice. The open restaurant without air-conditioner also offers seafoods dishes as well. But, the dishes that usually you can see on almost each table are the ones that we ordered. So, you can expect the waiting time is ZERO! We are amazed with the speed of serving as the moment we ordered. The dishes are served to us. The kitchen has done the preparation earlier on and all dishes are only in warm condition. My parents were kind of disappointed with the foods quality as they compared since the last that tried years back. Nevertheless, the foods quality is still acceptable and pocket friendly for a zi char choice.

Korean Restaurant : Yorijori @ Kovan CC

Nestled within the neighbourhood of Kovan and a walking distance from Kovan MRT station, there is a Korean restaurant named Yorijori. The restaurant is located at Paya Lebar Kovan CC which is easily noticeable if you are around the area. The word “Yorijori”has the meaning of “look around”and if you separate “yori”means cook and “jori”means recuperate.

Yorijori brings a whole new authentic, exciting Korean dining experience. Customers can enjoy authentic Korean BBQ and chicken cuisine at an alfresco setting. There have the indoor and outdoor dining areas where you can choose. Most importantly, the price offered is quite affordable which you will not have worries of burning a hole in your pocket.

Almost everything apart from the chicken and vegetables, all of the ingredients, furnitures are imported from Korea. Truly authentic Korean dining with entertainment provided. You can enjoy your dinner with the Korean MTV’s and shows screening.

We started off with Ban Chan as the appertizer. It is a traditional free flow dishes in every Korean Cuisine. There is kimchi and myulchi bokkeum (stir fried anchovies). I would say the stir fried anchovies are addictive especially with the sticky coating of honey.

Ohsamdak Bulgogi S$12.00 consists of spicy pork, chicken and squid roast with fresh greens.

Dak Galbi S$15.00 comes with spicy stir fried chicken ribs in a hot pot with rice cakes. The staff will give a good mix of all ingredients and you will enjoy a hot spicy stew full of rich flavors.

Special Kimchi Fried Rice S$6.00 topped up with seaweed will never go wrong. You can have this when you are having Dak Galbi or Ohsamdak Bulgogi.

Rice Ball S$5.00. The chef did a live demonstration on the makings of rice ball before it was served. Some of us get a hands on the making too.

Steamed Egg S$5.00. Definitely affordable and filling one!

Korean Seafood Pancake S$12.00 served in crispy outer with generous spread of fresh prawns and squid ring over it.

Korean BBQ is served as ala carte here. They have the Original Pork Belly S$16.00/200g , Garlic Pork Belly S$18.00/200g and Spicy Pork Belly S$18.00/200g. All comes with a basket of fresh lettuces, cucumbers and carrots sticks.

Watermelon soju was served that night. Mixture of fruit sweetness and soju marks a sweet ending for the session.

Affordable neighbourhood place for dinner especially for family size and also gatherings. It would be well-received with the price and varieties offered in the neighbourhood areas.

Promotion: 10% discount will be given to customer who order 3 items and above and also for customer who dine at their alfresco area during rainy days.
