Singlish Chaos, Must-Watch! Auntie Power On Screen
Had an absolute blast watching the hilarious local comedy FOLLOW AUNTY LA, already seen by over 400,000 people! 🇸🇬🎉
We caught it at @theprojectorsg, Golden Mile Tower — and instantly fell for the nostalgic charm of Redrum Hall, with its retro setting & cult-cinema vibes 🎬✨
The evening kicked off in the Blue Room with a fun meet-and-greet with the adorable Pocky mascot, followed by a throwback-style reception: fishballs, beef sliders, fried chicken & old-school drinks like rose syrup with calamansi & yuzu soda. Snacks were iconic classics too — Ken Ken squid, popcorn & Monster noodles, all served in modern eco-friendly ware! 🧃🍗💚
Directed and co-written by influencer-turned-filmmaker Mayiduo (Kelvin Tan), FOLLOW AUNTY LA is his debut feature. Starring Charlene Huang, Xixi Lim, Mayiduo, Regina Lim, Sai, and Cayydences, the story follows Ah Hua, a fishball stall owner who teams up with a former cinematographer to become an influencer & save her 300-year-old family business from a rival livestreamer.
This Singlish satire is packed with over-the-top humour, heartland drama & colourful characters — all with English & Chinese subtitles so everyone can enjoy. From old-school auntie energy to surprise ancestral spirit moments, it’s laugh-out-loud local comedy done right! 🤣
Another highlight was meeting the amazing cast — Mayiduo, Xixi & Charlene — next to the giant boxes of the new limited-edition @pockysingapore Ondeh Ondeh & Durian flavours! 💚 Tried them yet? Are you Team Ondeh Ondeh or Team Durian?

If you're curious about the movie's budget and where to catch it, Follow Aunty La is an indie film that captured local charm with a fresh storytelling approach, blending retro cinema vibes with modern-day influencer culture. Though it's not yet available on major streaming platforms like Netflix, you can watch it at select venues like The Projector in Singapore. One of the film’s standout aspects is how it authentically portrays the spirit of Singaporean aunties—characters deeply rooted in our culture, yet facing the challenges of today's digital age. The story, enriched by engaging performances, explores how traditional family businesses can survive by embracing new trends like live-streaming. The movie also features delightful local snacks and refreshments, enhancing the nostalgic feel. I highly recommend trying the limited-edition Pocky Ondeh Ondeh and Durian flavors if you get the chance—they perfectly complement the movie’s theme of heritage meets modernity. For fellow fans of Singaporean comedy and culture, Follow Aunty La is an entertaining watch that showcases the unique blend of humor, heart, and heritage through relatable auntie personalities. Keep an eye out for screenings or updates on wider online availability to enjoy this gem yourself.
