Tanya Chua
Cheah Chee-Kong's 2000 Singaporean film "Chicken Rice War" ("Jiyuan Qiaohe") adapts "Romeo and Juliet" as a lowbrow romantic comedy set amidst the rivalry between two adjacent rice stalls. The central characters (Fenson Pierre Png and Audrey Lum May Yee) are cast as Romeo and Juliet in a production of Shakespeare's play, staged in a car park, which their families manage to ruin through their rivalry. The comic mood is underpinned by cheerful songs from Tanya Chua. The film won the Discovery Award at the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival.
