An Evening With Susur Lee With Video

Ever since Pauline and I saw Susur Lee on Top Chef Masters, we were rooting for him all the way until the finals, which unfortunately, he lost by the narrowest of margins.

So, when I was graciously invited by DBS Indulge and HungryGoWhere to attend a master class, jointly organised by DBS and the Asian Food Channel, I had no hesitation in saying Yes!

A Silver Valentine - Valentine's Day 2011

Although we have been together for many years, we have always celebrated Valentine's Day one way or another. And in our younger, more gullible years, we have always gone out to restaurants on this day.

In recent years, perhaps due to work, and also due to the realisation that V-Day can be very commercialised, we have veered towards simpler meals to celebrate.

Bobcat PhD, Persistent Hawker Detective

Today, I am taking a break from the usual food posts, and would really like to acknowledge someone who has been very influential to this blog.

And that person is none other than Bobcat, who is really one of the best resources for hawker food in Singapore.

Futhermore, he is also someone who has a great palette and has a great affinity with people.

Sweeter One - Pavilion Kuala Lumpur At Bukit Bintang With Video

In movies, sequels rarely match up to the original, but I am hoping that my follow up to my original video of my sweet Pauline doing her shopping adventures will be even better.

We had the chance to be in Kuala Lumpur over the past weekend for a friend's wedding, and we certainly did not want to miss the opportunity to shop and shoot at the same time.

The Heart of Melbourne Video

You may have noticed I have not posted for the last couple of weeks, and the reason is very simple. Pauline and I were away on our annual vacation in Melbourne.

And what a wonderful city it is! Filled with a metropolis of skyscrapers yet it retained a natural beauty of greenery and scenery that embodies the spirit of Australian people.

Malacca and Jonker Food Blogging Trip With Video

On Deepavali Day, I went with bowlingball (of course) and my fellow food blogger, wine kaki on a drive up the causeway to the town of Malacca, Malaysia.

The purpose was obviously to savor the culinary delights of this famous place where it is most well known for it's chicken rice balls and iced chendol.

At the same time, we also wanted to document this trip on video, as we felt it would be more immersive to show you more than just static photos.

A Sneak Peek to our Malacca Jonker Road Trip

We decided to spend our Deepavali holiday by taking a road trip to Jonker, Malacca with my trusted silver kakis, bowlingball aka Pauline and winekaki aka Ken.

We also decided to try our hand doing a video travelogue and we are the first to admit, we are rank amateurs in this area, so please forgive the jerky camera work and somewhat bad audio.

My first published article on Technorati

This morning I woke up to an email from Technorati. It was to tell me that they have published my submission for a piece of writing I came up with yesterday.

To see it, just follow the link below. Admittedly, it is very exciting to see this being posted on a major site and quite a first for me!

The article basically is a little more backstory on myself and on food blogging, kind of an extended piece on my original introduction here. Go check it out.

Article first published as From Blackberries to Strawberries on Technorati.

Project Food Blog 2010

If you have noticed on the right sidebar, there's an image of me participating in the 1st Annual Project Food Blog, hosted by Foodbuzz.

The aim is to find the best food blogger out there as voted by a panel of judges, which includes Food and Wine's editor-in-chief, Dana Cowin.

Dana has been most recently involved in the latest season of Top Chef as one of the guest judges and has a very significant repute in the food and culinary industry.

Introducing the Silver Chef

The Silver Chef in Queenstown, NZ
My name is Ian Low and I hail from the island of Singapore, a food mecca of sorts where the east has already met the west and is now moving on to new ground.

It is this new ground that my humble self, a self-taught chef in the age of the Internet has dubbed myself the Silver Chef.

Why silver? Well, my hair has grown progressively from black to grey .... and now it seems to be silverish, so heck, the Silver Chef is thus born!

Hopefully this will be the first of many Singapore food blogs that I will contribute and hopefully, many will enjoy reading this and perhaps, even attempt at some of the dishes that will be featured on this blog.
