About the participant
I've been a working professional, a road warrior with global MNCs for many decades and more recently a Senior Consultant helping our SMEs re-shape and transform. My wife's in Sweden to help our eldest daughter (based in Malmo with her hubby) to look after their newborn.
I decided to pick up cooking so that I can cook for my other two daughters whom are in Singapore with me.
Dishes I can whip up include porkleg beehoon, sichuan-flavored noodles and bai-cai soup, just to name a few. Hope you enjoy my hot and sour soup recipe.
