#BetterMe: Moms Swap Lee Kum Kee Recipes


Before I got married, I have little no knowledge at all in the kitchen. I don't know how to boil an egg and I don't even know how to cook rice using a rice cooker. Seriously! But that was 12 years ago.

Thanks to my mom for sharing her secret to an appetizing meal, Lee Kum Kee, I can now whip up several dishes like grilled salmon, stir-fry veggies, and my own recipe- Lean Pork & Corn, all with the help of the World's 1st Oyster Sauce Brand since 1888.


When I received an invitation to experience a cooking workshop with Lee Kum Kee, naturally, I said yes. I want to learn more about the brand I have been using and I also want to try out new recipes shared by my fellow moms.

Ms. Chan Shiao Chew, Southeast Asia Regional Category Manager for Soy

 Did you know that a specialized team monitors every step of the production process of Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce? Oysters are carefully selected and harvested from their own farm and processed on the day of the harvest to retain its freshness and purest taste.

After a brief introduction and welcome remarks by Ms. Shiao Chew Chan, it's cooking time! The Lee Kum Kee Recipe Swap was led by TV personality, Suzi Entrata-Abrera together with blogger moms- Michelle Aventajado, Michelle Lim and Eliza Ypon.
