The film is a black comedy starring Joe Ng as the male protagonist Johnny, a Chinese seller of noodles (mee pok), and Michelle Goh as the prostitute Bunny. The film was given an "R(A)" rating in Singapore, restricting the movie audience to adults above 21, but after the change in censorship ratings in 2005, it was rated "M18" (18 and above).

English and Scottish Ballads (The Poetry Bookshelf)
“The great man knew not that he was great. It took a century or two for that fact to appear. What he did, he did because he must; it was the most natural thing in the world, and grew out of the circumstances of the moment. But now, every thing he did, even to the lifting of his finger or the eating of bread, looks large, all-related, and is called an institution.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
