This secretary turned celebrity chef used to cook as a hobby until her first appearance on RTM 1. From then onwards she has appeared in cooking shows, live demos, and she has written many recipe books including her latest with a selection of a thousand recipes! Chef Zaidah will be doing a cooking demo at Lot 10 @ 4pm on the 8th Nov, Sunday.

Asean Heritage Trail

This charismatic Indonesian celebrity Chef has had over 22 years of experience in the hospitality industry working with both Asian and Western cuisine. He is famed for his cooking shows that are broadcast throughout Indonesia.


He charmed his way into our hearts with his warm personality and avid passion for cooking, not to mention with his delicious food too! Despite not having the exact ingredients he likes to work with he managed to deliver beautiful dishes with vibrant flavours. We especially enjoyed his Balinese Sate Lilit with the piquant Sambal Matah (recipe below).

What inspired you to be a Chef?
I have been in the kitchen since 7years old. I used to help my parents cook. I think if you love food and you like to…  Continue reading »

Le Méridien’s Bar Captain gets 3rd in Illy’s Global Coffee Challenge

Here I am at about 10am in the morning drinking enough coffee to put hair on my chest. Although this is not necessarily an uncommon thing, let me clarify that I am not a coffee drinker. But Le Méridien's Bar Captain Shane's 'Ramel' Coffee, a heady concoction of double espresso shot through with ribbons of thick condensed milk, caramel and cocoa is absolutely super. And it comes to your table with the liquid layers intact. It's almost a shame to mix it all up. "I wanted to create something good but also a little Asian," explained Shane. True enough it does remind me a little of the layers of a Thai iced tea.

She wasn't sure whether to drink it or to frame it


So here's the deal. Illy held a global competition among…  Continue reading »
