Sorry everyone, havent been on the net much lately because i've been capped. Anyway, the recent season of MasterChef Australia has just finish with the winner being Adam Liaw. It is quite interesting that Asians, especially of Malaysian heritage, have done extremely well in this competition, with Adam Liaw, a half Malaysian, coming first in the 2010 season and Poh, also a Malaysian coming 2nd in the 2009 edition. Also, an honorable mention to Alvin Quah, another Malaysian contestant. Could their success be attributed to the multi-cultural society in Malaysia? With people with native Malay backgrounds, people of Indian heritage and people which have Chinese ancestry, the food in Malaysia is both diverse and unique, often a mix of these cultures.
Perhaps their success just comes from the judges lack of knowledge of Asian cusine. For example, Adam Liaw's egg custard with pork is a dish that my mum and grandma often cook at home to eat with rice. Not saying that they are as good a cook as Adam, but it is quite a simplistic dish to cook. I could probably cook it... That dish was something that the judges had never seen or tasted before and rated quite highly.
Anyway, congratulations to Adam on winning MasterChef. He thoroughly deserves it.
MALAYSIA BOLEH!

yes they hardly know anything about asian cuisine they should try eating it more often
Yeah, you're right. People tend to be amazed at something they haven't heard or seen or tasted before. Some everyday dish can become very very exotic to some people who haven't tasted them yet. I guess, that goes for all of us, Asians or not.
Anyway, I'm new here at Blogger. I would like to invite you to come visit my site and follow me, as well. Thanks a bunch! =)
