Breaking News: Some Cookbooks Were Launched (The Straight Times, 28th Nov 2016)
Cookbook Monday, November 28, 2016
Some cookbooks were launched, literally. The Food Canon was giving his speech. We were told that he often breaks out in Singlish when he is nervous. That he did in full flight.
But some other things were flying too. We have here his speech in full:
Ahem. Er..hello there. (Mic buzzing…)
Welcome all and one to this…I mean, one and all, to the lunch of my cookbook. Sorry, I meant - the launch.... Heh, I am a bit nervous. Pai Seh Pai Seh. Forgive my Singlish hor? When I get nervous, I speak from my heart, and all the hors and lors will spill out.
This cookbook is all about my late Mum. And a little bit of me. As you can read on the front cover, it is about Reviving my Mum’s classics. And little me, ahem, on the back cover.
