To had previously worked with the producers on King of Mahjong, and they requested that he direct their next film. Lim, one of the film's producers, said that To was impressed with the local talent after appearing in The Wedding Diary 2 and decided to make his next film in Singapore and Malaysia. Production began on 8 September 2015 in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. To said he was inspired by local dishes, such as Hainanese chicken rice.

Boon Chan of The Straits Times rated it 2.5/5 stars and said that the dubbing from Cantonese to Mandarin for the Singaporean release ruined the film's humour. Lisa Twang of The New Paper rated it 3/5 stars and compared it to The God of Cookery, which she said it does not match. Jessica Lin of AsiaOne rated it 2/5 stars and said the film does not feature enough local Malaysian and Singaporean content.
