In morning, I went to Shangri-La, Malaysia's best hotel, for 'Little Chefs Meet Big Chef' event. I said 'chef' not 'chief' so it was not a Red Indian do OK.

For 28 years, Shangri-La has hosted Father's Day by inviting little children from 5 to 15 to cook for their darling daddies.

Of course this being Shangri-La and owner Tan Sri Robert Kwok expected to make money, each child had to pay RM 150 to cook for Daddy while Dad and Mum had to dole out RM 150 each for a slap-up meal at Lafite, KL's finest fine dining restaurant.

The main courses were actually cooked by Chef Rudolf Kunkel and his team and not by the tiny tots so everyone enjoyed a feast of the first calibre and not some masak-masak makan dished out by kids.
