Lim Bian Yam and Y3K Recipes Issue no.15

Eat with gratitude

Y3K Recipes Issue no. 15 (Nov - Dec 2003)

I am truly amazed at the number of dishes Master Lim is able to introduce to us, using the basic ingredient, dhall. Master Lim has delved into the fulcrum of it as he experimented with the lentils and used fish, prawn, vegetable and rice to accompany. But in doing so, harmonious blend of taste, colours and nutritional values are not forgotten.

Food should be consumed in natural balance and he does not believe in putting too much restrictions on oneself. Born with a sweet tooth, this 70 years old Master Lim still likes to consume sugar in a moderate amount. Eat what you need as nature has its way of balancing the requirements.

His slogan for the day begins with, "Count your blessings and eat with gratitude". I will listen to his words of wisdom.
