Ice Kacang Puppy Love 《初恋红豆冰》



"ICE KACANG PUPPY LOVE is a profoundly emotional tale of teenagers puppy love, parental love, generation gap, truth and make-believe. Set in a unique small town of early 1990s Malaysia, the story evolves between a nice, shy boy - Botak and a brave and adventurous girl Da Jia Yu. The story brings you back to their experience of first love and crushes or what we call puppy love. The first love feeling is like the popular ice-kacang (shave ice) melting away even before one can truly taste it, only its sweetness painfully residing in our memory (Movie Details: Golden Village website)."

Surprisingly, the performance of all the singers including Ah Niu are equally good. The most touching part of the story is the scene when Ah Niu was rushing to the bus terminal to bring Sinje a packet of ice kacang. He almost...I don't want to reveal so much and you just bring your partner to watch if you are free. (Overall Movie Rating: 3/5).

There was a film promotion event at Bt Panjang plz the other day and I got to see the actors up close and personal. The female lead walked passed me as well as while she was about to leave. Having said so much, I didn't watch the movie cos I'm aiming for Iron Man 2 & Ip Man 2.
