Ngidam is quite the quirky ride, you know? It taps into the comedy genre with a unique twist—it's about cravings during pregnancy, but framed through the lens of traditional Betawi cuisine, which is cool. Abdul, the husband, finds himself navigating this culinary minefield as Lela's cravings get increasingly bizarre. This film manages to balance humor and cultural commentary, showcasing the significance of food in familial bonds. The pacing is relaxed, which fits well with the domestic chaos unfolding. Performances are genuine, making you feel the warmth and frustration of Abdul's journey. What stands out is how it highlights lesser-known dishes, giving a bit of a culinary history lesson while keeping the laughs coming.
