--香檳香料香水系列--. . . Good to see more self taught chef in the F&B scene!!@thebombayeastindiangirl_14 was from the corporate world and had a deep passion in cooking. Was really excited to try her east-Indian cuisine with slight portugese influence. Some of the dishes were 🤫secret family recipes and only a few people know how to make it!! What’s more the whole dinner was paired with @perrierjouet and some of the vintage ones were HARD TO FIND. The whole indoor space on the second floor was turned into an art paradise. The moment I went in, I was greeted by the @prrierjouet curiosity and a 🍀grassy wall! Ok back to food, our first course was Prawn Bhel (with the prawn cracker) paired with Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs NV. One of my fav that night was the HUMBLE BATATA. It’s the 🐑lamb potato chop, with green tea chutney and kachumber. It’s not oily and the lamb was cooked to perfection. Next we had heirloom 🍅 tomato and burrata paired with Perrier-Jouët Blason Rosé NV. It’s another perfect pairing of freshness and elevation of sweetness of the tomato and creaminess of the burrata. OMG also got to try the Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque 2012 vintage champagne. It’s crisp, with floral notes, and perfectly rounded. For mains, we got to try the pan-fried masala spiced salmon, and East Indian 🐥chicken khuddi. The salmon was definitely MY FAVORITE - crispy skin with tender meat. The use of spice was also on point - already lost track of how many spices she used and prepared herself!! And of course we couldn’t leave before trying her masala chai.

In @the_gelinaz Gelinaz the secret restaurant that provides the matrix will be unveiled at the end of the meal. Only one person will know the answer and he / she will reveal the secret. This year I happened to be the person who knew the answer ahead and I announced the brainchild behind the matrix: @satadika Chef Selassie Atadika, the creative force behind Midunu in Ghana.   From her Ghanaian roots, Chef Atadika’s culinary interest has evolved through time after meals in different parts of Africa, Europe and USA. As a self-taught chef in the culinary arts, she founded Trio Toque, the first nomadic restaurant in Dakar, Senegal, and subsequently brought her innovative “New African” approach back to her home country Ghana via Midunu which means ‘Let us eat’, a nomadic dining concept and a lifestyle company aim to “create experiences where culture, community and cuisine intersect, reminiscent of earlier times while creating new memories.” In this event we did not just learn about the African food and culture from Chef Atadika. We were also exposed to the African community in Hong Kong, through @africacenterhk headed by @innocent_mutanga (pic 2). He was sitting next to our table with his japanese friend @hiro_chihiro145 and she told me she just organized an event at the African Center for her fellow japanese living in Hong Kong the day before. I was feeling almost ashamed of myself, the fact that Japanese knows about the African community in Hong Kong while I don’t show how disconnect we are with this African culture in HK. On the other hand, I am really glad we are now connected (See pic 3-5 on the excerpt from Innocent and the beautiful woven arts he gave to all the guests during the event) _ #littlemeg_hk #littlemeg_gelinaz #gelinaz #gelinaz #gelinazhk #silentvoices #stayintour #HongKong #perrierjouet #africacenterhk # food #foodstagram #foodies #foodpics #instafood #instagramers #amazing #gourmet #iphonesia #photooftheday #bestoftheday #igdaily #theartofplating @theartofplating @gastroart @gastronogram #selassieatadika #newafrican #africancuisine #culture #culinary #heritage

Malaysia is going through the most challenging time we have ever experienced because of Covid-19. And no one is spared from feeling the impact despite that; there are a lot of kind souls out there that goes out of their way to help people as much as they could. @hellotammylim is one of them with a vibrant spark. Tammy went above and beyond by organising a food aid to help those who cannot afford even basic needs for their household. It takes a compassionate heart to put time and energy into organising respective drives, even with a full-time job. She brought happiness to those who need it without expecting anything in reason while inspiring the rest of us. People like Tammy are blessings to all of us, especially during the pandemic. And just like Tammy, there are ordinary yet inspiring Malaysians out there with their larger-than-life spirit overcoming challenges with their positive energy, and @tenaga_nasional presents a series of Malaysians' greatest untold “semangat” and achievement stories featuring four inspiring Malaysians : 1. Ridzuan Jamal (An entrepreneur who helps unemployed Malaysians to earn an income through the power of RM1 buns) 2. Ong Yong Xuan (20-year-old self-taught coder invented a study app to help SPM students study) 3. Mrs Paramesvary (Passion for food turned their family business into a kitchen for the community) 4. Mama Pinky (Beauty consultant who takes up clowning as a second job to feed stray cats) You can watch the main film by swiping up through my IG story, as I will be sharing the link over there. #raikanmalaysiakita
