Karen Mok in the film GOD OF COOKERY (SIK SUN)'s Sister Turkey image left a deep impression with the audience. Yesterday she returned to the restaurant where the film shoot took place in 20 years ago for a ribbon cutting ceremony. The shop was filled from film stills and even made the special "exploding beef balls", which brought back a lot of happy memories from the production for her. Mok Man Wai revealed that she would work on a new film with a mystery superstar and planned to perform an outdoors concert in Hong Kong this year.

Mok Man Wai said that as soon as she arrived on Temple Street, all her memories came flooding in. "28 years ago, I worked here every night. When I first took my mark, no one has seen the 'Sister Turkey' costume. I came downstairs after make up, people drove me away saying that the shoot was taking place. They thought I was Pedestrian A, so I was very successful. During the performance I had a lot of confidence. Looking back at the negotiation scene here, it really was very classic and very funny!" She also mentioned that although the film was already 28 years ago, viewers of different eras would continue to watch it. She felt very happy. They actually "developed" the "exploding beef balls" from the movie, which was truly an authentic flavor only in Hong Kong.

Has her husband watched her performance in GOD OF COOKERY? Mok Man Wai said, "I thought it was amazing, but back then overseas was still the VCD era so he didn't notice. He only saw it after we got married."

Mok Man Wai last year also participated in a big production, but had to keep it confidential. She could only revealed that the character was one that she has never played before. She even worked with a superstar. The film also had a lot of special effects. Would she have to get a complete makeover like for "Sister Turkey"? She said, "This time was very pretty, the type with quite a presence and strength. In addition once was enough for being ugly!" Stephen Chow Sing Chi was preparing for WOMEN'S SOCCER and reportedly has already landed two 'real woman soccer players" in former Chinese women's national soccer team goalie, "counterfeit Joey Wang" Zhao Lina and current Chinese women's national soccer team member Li Jiayue. Mok Man Wai said, "If I would perform I would play the demon coach, not expect me to play a player. Leave the field to the young folks!" Would she like to sing the theme song? She said that in recent years she has been singing film or television series theme songs. As for singing, Mok Man Wai said that this year she would plan to perform a concert in Hong Kong. However for now she has yet to confirm the venue. She would like to perform outdoors like at a soccer stadium but Hong Kong lacked this type of venue.
