Chef Wan is a huge phenomenon. Not just a celebrity
chef and food
ambassador, his cv is extraordinarily varied, including phases as
rock
star, actor, talk-show host, comedian, award-winning author, lecturer,
accountant and entrepreneur. A household name in Malaysia and indeed
in many Asian countries thanks to his starring role on Asian Food
Channel,
his whirlwind personality is once encountered, never forgotten.
Malaysia, with its strategic position in the middle of South East
Asia and
its ethnically mixed population, is a vast melting pot in a very
real sense.
Chef Wan will describe the culinary journey of Malaysian food, outlining
its
history and evolution in relation to the external influences of
trading and
immigration. He will explore the significance and holistic use of
ullam
(culinary herbs), jamu (medicinal herbs) and rempah (spices) and
give
a demonstration of key ingredients. You will have the opportunity
to
sample some of his mouth-watering creations in a buffet dinner presented
in collaboration with Holiday Villas.
