What drove you to join Chef Selebriti (Celebrity Chef)?
I decided to go and try out for the auditions without thinking too much about it. I had no idea at first that the top prize will be getting to host my own cooking show on Suria! My family’s motivation and support was also the main factor of me joining this competition.
How did you feel about competing with other chefs who have been in the industry longer than you and have had more experience?
It definitely was a tough competition, 30 chefs to beat! What’s more, the other chefs had more years of experience in the culinary world and they were from big name restaurants in Singapore.
How would you describe your journey on Chef Selebriti?
It certainly has been an experience of a lifetime. I have made great friends and also got to work with popular local TV personalities like Asmah Laili and Chef Bob. I have been given a lot of great opportunities as well!
You mentioned previously that after joining this competition, you have gained some great opportunities. What are some of them?
Yes! I was given acting opportunities on Suria, such as on shows like Metafora and Bulan di Malam Gersang, which is a collaboration between Radio Television Brunei & Mediacorp.
How do you think your life would have been like if you had won the top prize?
I didn’t join the competition to win it since the reality show was the first of its kind here, unlike the usual singing competition. So, I just gave it a shot! I was not expecting to make it through the next round, or even get into television until the semi-finals.
If you weren't a chef, or in the food business, what would you be?
This is a really tough question... Cooking is my passion. I love it. I cannot imagine myself doing anything else except being part of the culinary world as a chef. @
