Did you think the secret recipe worked? *spoilers*


First off I watched two versions of this movie. I watched the official film (this film) and the one in Three Extremes.
The thing is I thought in the Three Extremes she looked like she really had lost years on her face, but in this one it didn't really seem like it and left it ambiguous to the viewer.
Plus in The Three Extremes had her like growing some crazy tongue or some *beep*

In this one, I think the idea was that she would feel younger. Aunt Mei said she had a 90 yr old client who felt 18. You must have to eat a whole lot of dumplings to appear younger. Or perhaps it just stops the aging process rather than rewinding. In all of Mei's photos she was in her 20s.
