| Celebrating YTL’s chefs around the world Posted: 27 Feb 2013 05:10 PM PST
The resort has been around for 25 years, and it's good to know Uncle Lim is still there, serving his Nyonya and Hock Chew dishes. You will see a picture of this Hainanese chef presenting his Chinese Lime Chicken and his recipe for it in the coffee-table book A Perennial Feast. The book features all the delicious goings-on in the kitchens of YTL's hotels, resorts and restaurants around the world ― from Malaysia to Thailand to France. The cuisines of each country are explained and celebrated in the book.
Yeoh talked about their resort Niseko on the island of Hokkaido in Japan. "The cream was so fresh because they had a cow in the backyard!" she said. "You have to be in our resort to enjoy it. Even if you replicate the recipe in the book, it is never the same!" In A Perennial Feast, there are vivid descriptions of Niseko, with gorgeous pictures by Jacob Termansen, who did the photography for the whole book. Of course there are recipes for the signature dishes of each of these hotels and resorts, from the Snow White Dancing Prawns with Hot Mayonnaise and Honey-Glazed Walnuts from Shook! in Kuala Lumpur, to Tum Ikan from the Wantilan restaurant in Spa Village Resort Tembok in Bali and Creamy Garigue-Scented Risotto of Roast Langoustine from the M restaurant at Muse Hotel De Luxe in Saint-Tropez, France.
A Perennial Feast is available at Kinokuniya, Borders, MPH Bookstores, Times the Bookshop and WH Smith at RM125 per copy. |
| Trove of Kipling poems discovered Posted: 27 Feb 2013 03:16 PM PST
Thomas Pinney, a professor of English at the University of California, said the discoveries marked a "tremendously exciting time for scholars and fans". The poems will be published in the first ever complete edition of Kipling's verse due for release on March 7. The Indian-born author is best known for penning short stories like "The Jungle Book" and poems "Mandalay" and "If", but fell out of favour with many academics over his views on imperialism. The trove includes poems from World War I and a diatribe against the press. It reads: "Had you friend a secret / Sorrow, shame or vice —/ Have you promised not to tell / What's your lowest price? / All the housemaid fancied / All the butler guessed / Tell it to the public press / And we will do the rest." Some of the works were discovered in a Manhattan town house while others were found among the papers of a former head of the Cunard Line. Pinney stressed that many more works are still to be located. "There is a treasure trove of uncollected, unpublished and unidentified work out there," he said. "I discovered another unrecorded item only recently and that sort of thing will keep happening." — AFP/Relaxnews |
