Makan Kakis with Denise Tan

All this month, in honour of International Women's Day, we're paying tribute to inspiring female F&B entrepreneurs and who better to highlight than my wonderful Makan Kaki Cynthea Lam of Wellness Company Super Farmers? If you haven't already, do get to know her and her business better here from our very first podcast! 

Cynthea's favourite is Thai cuisine, largely in part due to growing up with her beloved helper from Thailand. So when she's craving Thai comfort foods, she heads on over to Beach Road stalwart and one-stop-shop for all things Thai, Golden Mile Complex. 

Cynthea has been patronising this familiar first floor restaurant at Golden Mile Complex for a long time. Opened by a Singaporean and his Thai wife in 1985, Diandin Leluk serves up quick, convenient and simple dishes. Cynthea recommends the pork ball noodles and papaya salad, or som tam.

Hi Makan Kakis, this week's episode is dedicated to the Chee Cheong Fun lovers! The best steamed rice flour roll has to be tender, silky and delicate, but a good roll is hard to find. Lucky for us, Masterchef Singapore Season 3 Top 4 contestant Sharlene Tan is back to share with us her secret place for excellent local-style chee cheong fun! It's not found in the shops or at a restaurant or hawker stall and will require a little effort on your part, but boy, is it worth it!
