Ramsay v Hawker Heroes
Ramsay v Hawker Heroes
Well what a surprise ! Call me an old cynic but the one he wins is from a major Singapore chain. Did not seem to be affecting business at Dempsey on Monday evening. Imagine the impact on those hawker heroes had they lost.
Game over - beaten by a novice albeit a Michelin chef novice. I realise it's just for TV but I hate being taken for an idiot. I'd rather Singtel spent money on my base station to improve the signal that this trivial nonsense.

Ramsay's dishes are in the top row against 'heroes' Foo Kui Lian of Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice, Ang Kiam Meng of Jumbo Seafood Restaurant and Ryan Koh of 328 Katong Laksa.

It was definitely a no-win situation for Ramsey. I AM surprised that he won the Chili Crab dish as well. The other two, well, you have to admit, Singaporeans would have to be the best judges of two dishes that are only found here in S.E. Asia and Singapore's style to boot. How would you have found non-Singaporean judges who would have an inkling how it should ideally taste? Other than going around tasting dozens of stalls in Singapore. I think he did it as a publicity stunt as he is planning to open up a restaurant here, and he gave a lot of face to those Hawkers (only two of the three were hawkers) as well. Considering the less than 20 percentage points difference after 48 hours in Singapore, he's let them know he's not to be trifled with either.
I reckon all were winners all round.
