Finding the Flavours
of Ho Chi Minh City
Jennifer Joan Lee
DestinAsian, February – March 2003
(Indonesia)
|
| Jennifer
Joan Lee is a freelance journalist based
in Paris. She covers European affairs for
print media around the world including the
Washington Times in the US, the Globe &
Mail in Canada, the International Herald
Tribune in France and the South China Morning
Post in Hong Kong. Prior to relocating to
Paris in early 2003 -- at the same time
making a mid-career switch to print journalism
-- Jennifer had worked as a television and
radio reporter for twelve years, beginning
in her Canadian hometowns of Toronto, Ontario
and Montreal, Quebec.
Following a particularly long and bitter
winter in 1994, Jennifer tossed out her
down-filled jacket and moved to Hong Kong,
seduced by the warm weather and a hot story.
In her last position as a roving television
correspondent for News Corp’s Star
TV, she produced award-winning current affairs
features from countries all across Asia
-- from Mumbai to Manila, northern China
to southern Indonesia. While chasing stories
across the globe, Jennifer also pursued
a singular obsession: food. Not content
to simply eat her way from country to country,
she decided to put on paper what she had
put on her plate. A series of mouthwatering
articles ensued, including four features
for DestinAsian. In Paris, Jennifer also
writes restaurant reviews for Time Out’s
Paris Eating & Drinking guide. Jennifer
is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu culinary
institute in Paris; she also studied Chinese
cookery in Hong Kong. Her ability to cook
up gourmet meals in the impossible confines
of her minuscule flat in Hong Kong brought
her a moment of culinary recognition: The
Asian Wall Street Journal featured her dinner
parties in a front-page spread of the “Weekend
Journal.”

Recipe for Life
Anne Loh &
Koh Yuen Lin
Wine & Dine, April 2003 (Singapore)
|
| Currently
food editor for Singapore’s leading
food and wine magazine, Wine & Dine,
Anne Loh has managed to combine her two
loves – writing and food and beverage.
Her interest in food and wine was fired
up ten years ago, resulting in hospitality
training, followed by an endless whirlwind
of tasting and walking into every cellar
door she comes across. Loh avidly supports
the small producers and operators who
put their heart and soul into their life’s
work. She is currently working towards
her next wine and food qualification.
While her peers are overachieving, Koh
Yuen Lin is just over-eating. Thankfully,
she is not one of great ambitions and
is happy where she is, just as long as
she does not embarrass her publication
by asking stupid questions at events and
as long as she does not have to field
questions about which are her favourite
restaurants.
