This was followed by Special Cooking Challenge between the Guest of Honour and a local celebrity, Tian Long, which was won by the Guest of Honour, Datuk Yeo by 1 point.
Guess which belongs to who?
Personally this was fun to watch. We have on 1 side, our mayor mixing all the ingredients in his own way in a calm manner (he looked like he's very comfortable cooking, in this case mixing the ingredients) while on the other corner we witness the total opposite. Congratulation Datuk Yeo for winning this battle of nasi ulam hehe.
