San Francisco-based Chinese-American chef and TV personality, Martin Yan, hit Singapore and then Penang for a series of promotional appearances last month. For many of us who grew up watching his cooking shows on TV (he’d hosted more than 3,500 episodes of Yan Can Cook on PBS since 1982), it was a chance to meet him in person.
Martin Yan turns 77 this year, but looked exactly like how we remembered him from 40 years back.
St Giles-Wembley Hotel’s Executive Chef, Adrian Lim, has collaborated with Martin Yan quite a few times when he was based in China, and responsible for the buffet spread we had this evening. Some of what we had:
But I think most of us were there to see the man himself, rather than to have his Western-inflected American-Chinese cuisine. Got a copy of his latest cookbook.
