Lunch was catered by Resorts World™ Sentosa, the delicious baked salmon, roasted prime beef, chicken rice with teriyaki fish and pasta with mutton and tomato were my fave, I went for second helpings. :P

I have the honour of interviewing him, taking a photo together and taste a fabulous steak cooked by him. I would have to pay S$248+ per person if I want to taste his food in the restaurant.

British born, long time Australian resident Chef Ian Curley has a wicked sense of humour. The audience love him. He shared his secrets about perfecting beef steak.
