The director of Jiro Dreams Of Sushi made a film about Singapore’s chicken rice using his phone

In a diverse food haven like Singapore, chances are our cameras eat before we do. Whether we're digging into our favourite hawker food or treating ourselves to something fancier, it's almost second nature to take out our phones for a snap or two first.

famous Maxwell Food Centre stalls: Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice and Ah Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice.“I think it's all about story, character and passion,” said Gelb, who shot the film entirely on his iPhone 13 Pro. “Here we are, in the kind of indoor-outdoor hawker centre where there's just some fans, so you're really getting a very visceral experience,” he continued. “We're all kind of in it together. There's a real kind of camaraderie with my team and with the chefs. So, we wanted to figure out a way where we can film, and they can also continue to run their business. Because we want everything to be very authentic.

But that is not to say that filming came without its challenges. The fact that these tiny spaces the hawkers operate in was definitely not lost on Gelb. “I think that there's so many great stories in hawker culture in Singapore that we could do a whole season of Street Food, just in Singapore!” said Gelb. “And on top of that, there's also some of the greatest fine dining in the world is in Singapore. And so at every level, there’s delicious food and there are great stories behind that. So, I think we'll have to talk to Apple TV+ and see if we can put something together.
