Sharone Hakman of Masterchef US – Cooking demo in Mid Valley!

I had the privilege of interviewing Sharone Hakman when he came to Malaysia last week as part of his recent promotion tour. Out of all the chefs I have had interviewed, met and chatted with in my blogging life and as a foodie, the one thing that struck me hard about Sharone was his genuinity. That big guy is thoroughly REAL, and I could catch no pretenses from him throughout the duration of the half a day I spent trolling him from the interview room to the supermarket and till he finished his cooking demo on stage at Mid Valley.

A Night at Hennessy Artistry 2012, Kenanga Wholesale City!

** Guest post by Pamela, since I was in BKK for the World Gourmet Festival 2012  🙂

Hennessy Artistry was the place to be on Saturday night. The second installment of 2012’s Global Art of Mixing Trilogy promised a night of fist-pumping dance music, delicious drinks and an exciting crowd. And boy, Hennessy do know how to throw a party 😉

Before the party-goers headed into the main room, they had a chance to experience the super-cool Hennessy 360 Cam (and have their 5 minutes of fame).

Chef Johann Lafer and Chef Wai – Two Chefs, One Cuisine at Shook! Starhill Gallery

Every year I would sit in some of the Midsummer Nights Feast dinners. This year, most of the dinners are closed affairs, and Chef Hom and Chef Johann’s was the very few that I had the good fortune to dine in. I was truly disappointed with Chef Ken Hom’s session and had hoped hard that Chef Johann Lafer won’t be of a similar letdown.

Chef Johann Lafer and me.

After a rather dramatic start to my weekend in Sg (hhmm..

Sponsored by Far East Hospitality and OMY.sg, this marks the beginning of my weekend in Singapore for the Singapore Blog Awards 2012.
