Watch: filmmaker’s love letter to old cinemas, food haunts in Petaling Jaya


A fried carrot cake man is busy at his big wok at a local night market, a soulful mee jawa seller delivers a familiar treat yet again and the reassuring sight of an old timer popiah maker guarantees a hearty taste from the past.

The ghosts of long gone cinemas, such as Sentosa and Paramount, in Petaling Jaya and spooky TV show memories also return to haunt in filmmaker Ho Yuhang’s new video Yuhan With Yuhang, which combines themes of food and film.
