I was at both the Braddell Heights and Jurong Green competitions. It was really enjoyable to watch the contestants performing, some more vocal, some more humourous, fun and natural like SIMON, (unusual for chinese, hahaha – those were the days back long long long ago when the writer grew up and Singaporeans were inhibited and did not know how to clap, laugh and “jogeg” naturally), the shy young cook for e.g. peeling eggs with gentle hands, the typical today youth with headphones in a cooking contest answering his mobile, the lst generation who mostly spoke in their dialects (thumbs up) handdown their knowhow (found that wonderful) and then the very lovely malay family who made the rainbow rice dish with prawns and their overwhelming supporters with song and dance, all in a good afternnon cooking contest! Truly enjoyed it especially not knowing what to expect and also lots of surprises at the winning teams. Great participation and good food. Would be good to see more of this kind of action. Keep it up Singapore!
