Ok, got to control my excitement for now. I was very honored to be invited by Discovery Travel & Living for a cooking workshop with Bob Blumer, celebrity chef/host of Surreal Gourmet and his latest series Glutton for Punishment. The other 40 or so participants were winners of a lucky draw conducted by Discovery Travel & Living. This hands-on workshop was held at At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy at Fort Canning on July 18, 2009 (Saturday) from 7:30pm to 10:30pm.
I took many pics! Feast your eyes! (more…)

The Singapore Food Festival 2008 opened with a bang at Lau Pa Sat this evening. Local food bloggers received media invites to this event. Ooh, so now food bloggers are given mainstream media status? Cool!
The VIPs putting on their rubbers. Gloves, that is. What were you thinking?
The guest-of-honor was Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Mr Lee Yi Shyan (second from left in above photo). He tried his hand at making one of Singapore’s iconic hawker dishes, char kway teow. The other VIP made rojak.
