| If you don't watch 'Taste of Malaysia' every Saturday and Tuesday on ntv7 and 8TV, you will be like this tomato *evil* |
Hahaha! Above is just a funny photo that I can't resist to post it up. Martin was talented enough to slice the tomato up to 20++ pieces and I was really impressed with his skill!! Learnt how to smash garlic like a pro using his knife too. He was so entertaining during the cooking demo in "Taste of Malaysia" Press Event. I think you will definitely love to watch his latest cooking and travel show.
I just hope that I can learn either his cooking/hosting skills by watching that show. With that, my YouTube won't be that plain anymore hahaha. It was good to meet you Chef Martin Yan =) Hope to see you again!!
