Life Picks Ep 70: Get some tasty homemade pau and watch Adam Sandler's new Netflix gem

11:46 mins

Synopsis: Every Thursday, The Straits Times highlights the best films, concerts, restaurants and arts events you can catch in Singapore over the coming weeks.

This week, Money FM's Michelle Martin chats with ST's film correspondent John Lui about the dry comedy film Uncut Gems that is now streaming on Netflix.

In this bone-dry comedy about a guy who cannot catch a break, Adam Sandler’s Howard Ratner is a debt-ridden New York jeweller and gambling fiend who comes to own a rock of great value, one studded with the minerals of the film’s title. 

Find out why John gives it a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.

STFood online editor Hedy Khoo also comes on the show to tell us about Traditional (homemade) Pau & Tim Sum, a coffee shop that sells very tasty Chinese treats. 

Find out why Hedy recommends the fan choy, lo mai gai and the shop's signature item - meat pau.
