Lim Bian Yam and Y3K issue no.9

Master Lim Bian Yam
The Professional Touch
Y3K issue no.9 (Nov-Dec 2002)
Late September recently, Master Lim was honoured with a birthday bash by his students from the Klang Valley. In early October, his old buddies from Penang held another grand celebration for the birthday boy, who had turned 70. This was considered to be an auspicious milestone in the Chinese belief. It was a fitting tribute shown by studends and friends. Master Lim was touched by the highlights of both evenings, happy faces, familiar smiles, warm friendship, he felt his life has been truly bleesed. Sincere friendship that has evolved a lifespan, what more can one ask for?


Master Lim has always stressed on arduous training, learning the finer points of cooking. He compares this training equivalent to what a martial arts student endure, taking no short cuts. He has already chalked up over 40 years of experience, cooking profesionally, thus making him one of our local most prominent cooking teacher.


This unsung Food Ambassador has very generously given ample recipes to our food magazine - "Y3K Recipes". All these recipes are from his private file, never having being taught at his cooking studio. A balance line have to be drawn between the commercial side and a charity exercise. I really look up to him for his moral obligation.


With the Master’s touch, a simple recipe can be transform into various angles and yet it retains the authenticity. In the next few pages, you can see how he has propelled Roti Jala to a high degree. It is an ace formula, designed simple enough for novice cooks.


His other trump card in the flower arrangement world has gained him extreme fame. One can see how his food are always extravagantly decorated as only a true master can create such artistry.
