1) If you were stuck on an island and could only eat one cuisine (e.g., French, Italian, etc.) for the rest of your life, what would it be? Why?
Japanese, and Singaporean....I assume I can spear some fish, have sashimi after that....while the heads will be made into fish head curry, with coconut milk from the trees, curry powder ....errr....found in a washed up treasure chest nearby. Also, would make laksa from dried up shrimp.2) What is the most unusual food you've eaten?
hmmm....I can't think of any extraordinary( to me at least). I don't think anything is unusual if it is deemed consumable. I've had my fair share of the stuff less eaten. 3) What is the most unusual food you've eaten and liked?
I hate to say this but dog meat. I was tricked. 4) What foods will you avoid eating (either because of a dietary choice or allergies or just plain don't like)?
Bittergourd. Balut. Deer Penis(or any sort of penis for that matter) all else ok.5) Do you cook (and by that, I mean prepare a meal that you'd serve to friends)?
Heck yeah...and I think I'm a pretty darn good one. Sure. Did that all the time in the U.S. Only now, I'm limited by my mom's kitchen, and unable to abide to her cleaning standards. Thus reducing my cooking opportunities in Singapore...6) If yes, what is your favorite dish to prepare to impress someone?
hmmm....too many. A simple Ku Lok Yuk will do fine. Or a little more extravagant. A duck confit with yuzu cous cous and micro greens. Yum. 7) When you go to a restaurant, what's your ordering strategy/preference?
No set menu items, no buffets please. Anything else that catches the eye. I like trying new stuff. Stuff I've never seen or had before.8) Have you ever returned a dish or wine to the kitchen at a restaurant? Why?
Steaks not cooked to the doneness I wanted. Uncooked fish which required to be eaten cooked....list goes on.9) How many cookbooks do you own?
3. The best one being the Culinary Institute of America one....and Escoffier's. Apart from that. thank god for the World Wide Web10) What is one food that you wouldn't want to live without?
What else? RICE. And maybe Lay's Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips. With Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup Ice cream coming in a close second....
