Malaysia’s Asia Tropical Films and Singapore’s Clover Films are co-producing the directorial debut of Hong Kong actor Chapman To, Let’s Eat (working title), with investment from Fox International Channels (FIC).

Chapman To will also star in the $1.3m (S$1.8m) foodie comedy drama along with Hong Kong actress Aimee Chan, C-Kwan from Hong Kong hip-hop duo FAMA and local stars Lo Hoi Pang, Tommy Kuan, Daphne Low and Patricia Mok.
