hairstyle pioneer: Culinary and Dining Session with Celebrity Chef, Eric Teo!

Thanks to Yit Hong Pte Ltd, I had the chance to cook and dine with Celebrity Chef Eric, at ToTT Store.

Celebrity Chef Eric Teo is also Yit Hong Pte Ltd's brand ambassador. He was there to share with us some cooking tips and recipes!

Very friendly guy indeed. Chef Eric, also the first Singaporean to be appointed president of the Singapore Chef's Association, seen here, giving advices to fellow bloggers.

I was late due to work commitments! Luckily Yit Hong's Business Development Executive, Jacqualine Chan, was there to guide me along. Beside both of us is Chef Eric's wife.

During the cooking session, also learnt that Yit Hong Pte Ltd had launched its ready-to-eat Yifon bottled mushrooms. YIFON bottled mushrooms are the first and only ready-to-eat mushrooms in the market! With the see-through advantage from the glass bottles, you can also see what you get - nothing but fresh, tasty, healthy mushrooms!

YIFON bottled mushrooms are available in a delectable range of five different mushrooms, in six different flavours - YIFON Assorted Mushrooms, YIFON Bailing Mushrooms, YIFON Spicy Bailing Mushrooms, YIFON Spicy Golden Mushrooms, YIFON Spicy Nameko Mushrooms, and YIFON Teatree Mushrooms! No cooking required!
