Horrible storyline and dialogs, but the most amazing sound effects and CGI.

All together I loved the movie, since I watched it purely because of the cooking scenes. But as the movie began I was getting frustrated, because the story had no sense from the beginning (it is like from a children's book), and don't get me started on the voice-over.But I quickly figured out that it is probably meant to be watched with a lot of humour, so I continued to watch it laughing at the stupid scenes and really enjoying the pure cooking moments.Seriously, the movie has some of the best sound effects and CGI I've ever seen. Purely from that point, I loved it.In summary, horrible story and scripts, but amazing sound effects and edits.

Could've been better

It feels like the movie's first half was given a little more love up until the first competition between Paul and Tianci. After that it felt rushed and full of plot holes. The food looked amazing and made me hungry all through the movie. Could've handled the second if thr movie a lot better. The movie was still entertaining.
