Made me crave Singapore hawker food, that's about it

I watched the movie when it came out, and I think I liked the movie much better. The book felt kinda anti-climactic, a never-ending series of scenes where the lavish wealth of the Singaporean and HK families were described in detail. The main plot about American-Chinese Rachel visiting her boyfriend's family in Singapore for the first time, and the fallout from that felt less like a plot, it was just there kinda? But I just found out that this is likely because there are more books that continue the story, which makes it feel very open-ended at the end.

But meh, it was well-written, but probably not captivating enough that I want to bother more. If I was Rachel Chu, I would ditch that rich dude posthaste, considering how he treated her, and all the lies.
