West Meets East

From Chicken and Shiitake Mushroom Pot Pie, Guandong Duck with Mango Salsa to Chinese-style Seafood Risotto and Lychee and Mango Trifle – this is fusion Chinese pushed to the limit!

From my varied background and childhood experiences of living in different countries (indeed, continents), I have learned that mixing and matching is what food is about. If there were no particular ingredients in my pantry or fridge, I would often improvise rather than walk to my local shop – not because I was lazy, but because it was a challenge and I was quite an adventurous child. When I have a craving for a classic dish, I will always try to make it different every time, by adding a new ingredient or varying the cooking technique. Discovering and inventing are part of the pleasure of being a cook.
