Home Cooked Gourmet

by Steven Yeo APEX-MBA 2004

Singaporeans had gone through a long period of staying home since early 2020 till now. During this period, I marvel at how isolation brings out the inner chef in each one of us. Some can cook up a storm with fine dining style, while others wiped up delicious things with leftovers.

Eighteen months before leaving for China, I had also managed to cook some fantastic dishes for my family and friends. Here’s a quick look at some of my creations.
