I did an interview with SilkAir (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore Airlines) a couple of months ago and the article finally came out! If you are flying with SilkAir, you will see the feature on the Sept/Oct 2009 issue of “SilkWinds”–the inflight magazine.

Congrats Bee! Next time i go to Singapore i want to fly Silkair just to get the magazine!! You are truly the Penang food Ambassador, the Malaysian tourism board should take notice.
Congrats! I don’t know why publicatiosn ALWAYS like to make mistakes. It’s like the editors don’t bother to get basic facts right.. just imagine the amount of error we’ve been fed everyday without even knowing about it.
Agreed with both hands and legs, Tsu Lin.
Congratulations. :-) You’re doing a great job getting the message across about Malaysian food.

Shame – I flew with Silk air just last month – would have been a nice suprise to see a blog that I visit regularly featured!!!
Next it will be pop star status or world wide domination!!!
