Shang-chi stars Simu Liu and Ronny Chieng pick their favourite Singaporean dishes
In typical Singaporean foodie fashion, Simu Liu and Ronny Chieng, two of the stars of Marvel's Asian-led movie, Shang-chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings, engaged in a debate as to what Singaporean dishes they would eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
In a promotional video posted by Marvel Studios Singapore, Simu and Ronny said they were big foodies. They were asked to choose from an iconic Singaporean menu what they would eat for each meal.
Canadian Chinese actor Simu Liu is the titular superhero of the movie, Shang-chi, while Malaysian comedian Ronny Chieng (who considers himself half-Singaporean since he went to school in Singapore), played Jon Jon, an aide of Shang-chi's sister Xia Ling at her underground fighting ring in Macau.
For breakfast, they had to choose between congee, chee cheong fun, nasi lemak, and kaya toast.
Simu picked congee, while Ronny chose chee cheong fun.
For lunch, they were asked to choose between beef rendang, Hainanese chicken rice, and fish head curry.
Simu picked chicken rice, while Ronny chose fish head curry.
Lastly, for dinner, they had to choose from chilli crab, hotpot, and naan with tandoori chicken.
Simu and Ronny picked the same dish: the classic chilli crab.
All that talk of food apparently made Simu hungry, so at the end of the video, Simu asks Ronny to go for a boba with him. Ronny, having grown up in Southeast Asia, corrects him: "In Singapore and Malaysia, we call it bubble tea."
