August 27, 2011 – A rainy Saturday afternoon almost stopped me from attending this event by Lee Kum Kee named Cook With The Masters, as they celebrate their 123rd anniversary. Driving during the rainy days is my enemy. It’s not that I don’t want to take the risk of bringing the car out and battling with the rain but it is more of the inconvenience and hassle. Thankfully, dad had the compassion to drive and bring me to the event. He didn’t allow me to be stuck at home and miss out on this. Well, I was a bit late. But it was better late than never.

Rushed myself and arrived Shangri-la mall late. The show began and there were a few seats left. With the help of the organizers, I was able to get a good seat.

Chef Eugene Raymundo was already preparing his first dish, Oriental Crab Cake Salad, when I arrived. In all of the dishes chef Eugene prepared, Lee Kum Kee products were used to add more taste and flavor.

According to Chef Eugene, he is after the food’s flavor, the most important thing for him when he cooks. With Lee Kum Kee products, cooking is made easier not only for him but for all of us. He even said that anyone can do his recipes at home as long as Lee Kum Kee sauces are there.

 

Ms. Issa Litton, the gorgeous and clever host.

Several cooking tips were presented to us. One of the tips I cannot forget is Chef Eugene’s tip on breading or crumbing your meat. For Chef Eugene, use ziplock when you do your breading. This will prevent you from making a mess and lock the flavor in your meat. 

 

Who wouldn’t love to taste Chef Eugene’s cooking? The audience became more energetic when Ms. Issa announced to us that food will be served to everyone. 

Hooray for free taste! 🙂 

Thre were booths around the Grand Atrium of Shangri-la Plaza. Out of all booths, this is definitely my favorite. 😀 

 

In our kitchen, you would probably see some of these products on the shelves. We’ve tried and tested them. Personally, my favorite is their Chili Sauce, which I use when I eat dim sum or just want my food to have a little spice and excitement. Mom uses their Chili Sauce for her sweet & chili prawns, a recipe she experimented using Lee Kum Kee products. 

Anyone can be feel like a chef with Lee Kum Kee. Ready-made sauces are already available. To put it in other words, Lee Kum Kee makes cooking easier.

Special thanks to Lee Kum Kee and Mega for the invite. Congratulations on your successful event! 

And HAPPY 123rd Anniversary!!! 

Cheers,
