  • A Malay wedding traditionally includes a feast attended by about a thousand guests. But what does it take to feed all of them? In this episode of Eat Up, Masterchef Singapore winner Derek Cheong joins one of the oldest Malay wedding caterers to help cook for not just one, but three Malay weddings in a day. His journey takes him to a central kitchen where, despite the lack of refrigeration, food is prepared for 3,000 people. What tricks and techniques will he learn to put food out fresh and on time? And will a missing van meant to deliver food to one of the three wedding venues threaten to derail everything?
    00:00 Introduction
    02:00 How Malay weddings were catered in the past
    05:20 Baking brownies for 3,000 people
    11:35 Cooking frenzy begins
    17:00 Transporting the food to three weddings
    20:11 How does the food taste?

    During the early 80s, I was like 4 years old. Staying in Taman Jurong, my dad drove us back from somewhere and down stairs of our block was having Malay Wedding. The host distributed eggs in decorate little handmade baskets of sparkle ribbons. They saw my dad drove into the carpark and came smiling and gave us 2 baskets of eggs. Dad congratulate them and have a short chats with them in Malay. My siblings and I were really happy and we enjoyed the boiled eggs. Our Malay neighbours(the blocks around our block) were all very friendly and would invite us to wedding if they were hosting. Back then Kampung spirits still exist. Regardless Chinese, Malay, indians, Eurasian...etc. The parents always help each others out among the blocks and next doors and the children always played together at each other's house... The neighbourhood were really close as everyone just simply know each other.
    We were staying in 1 and 2 room flats. Teens or adults always carry a basket of foods such as packs of Nasi Lemaks, curry puffs, poh piahs, Goreng Pisang from door to door to sell them and we will always buy from them whenever we could and my dad would cook his Kaya recipe and sell from door to door during his off days. Foods back then were really nice...The small packs of Nasi Lemak cooked with Ginger and coconut super nice. That recipe sadly don't exist in today... The last time I stumbled upon that recipe of Nasi Lemak was in the late 90s in a Pasar Malam, ultra fragrant yellow coconut rice with sedap chili and Malay wedding style fried turmeric chicken. Since then, I have never meet that recipe.....

    This is very well done. The history of the wedding culture in kampong. I was in primary school and living in Ponggol. I remember the pretty decoration, the pineapple they use to poke those colorful sticks. The drums. Seeing the wedding and the families, very heart warming. A+ for production. Good for you as MasterChef. :-) Way to GO!

    Growing up in Singapore, I always enjoyed watching the preparations for Malay weddings.
    They're put in a lot of time and passion to serve the most delicious and colourful dishes.
    The indians and the Chinese weddings are exquisite feast.
    Now living in the west, i can't believe the standard of wedding meals.
    It's a starter of vol au vents with
    chicken and mushrooms.mains 1 miserable slice of roast beef, loads of roast potatoes and gravy.
    Finnished off with dessert, cheese cake.
    Loads of wine to make you giddy.
    Nothing can compare to Asian wedding feasts , it's Class Act.
    Well done to Nazeen and company.
    Derek, being a winner of master chef, where is your hygiene hat?

    I thought I would watch it on double-speed, but, no watched it at normal speed and found it absolutely fascinating!
    And hats off to that baker too, working out of a domestic kitchen, but only until his kids come home, and then the apartment is kept quiet for the kids to study. Singaporeans really do value education.
    21 hours of hard labour, lots of bending and heavy lifting. Congratulations, Derek! 💐👏🏻
    Well done to everyone involved.
    It all looks so professional and utterly delicious. (Please share these recipes?)

    When you cook for so many people, you have to have a system. A system that you have tried and tested and you must have a knowledge of the ratios eg rice to meat or spices. It is very easy for your spices to get lost when you cook for a lot of people.

    14:09 Monetise as cooking movie, anime or real life: Problem where newbie factory worker or kitchen staff (due to personal problems and is distracted), count scoops of food ingredient X incorrectly as he transfer from container A to container B. To reduce risks of management losing profits (thus management reduced their charity donations), why not use a factory grade XXL digital weighing scale that can weigh heavy items? Add container on weighing scale, zero weighing scale, and add anything you want to achieve the correct weight. Here is the unique selling point for the movie: Creatively, the protagonist use a luggage handheld portable weighing scale with twine or ropes to tie to 4 corners of the container, to measure the weight of the container, then measure the weight of the container plus the food ingredients, then deduct the weight of the container to get the weight of the food ingredient. Do in multiple small batches due to the limitations of the luggage scale and human weightlifting abilities.

    4:45 Why not use Tesla robot arms tech to quickly pincer clamp grab and lightning saw (vertical machine saw) pork from larger parts into smaller parts to max profits? This will reduce the risk of workplace injuries (saw off fingers) and cut labour costs significantly. Most importantly, it markedly reduce the risks of transmission of diseases (pandemic) from human meat processing workers to the meat (product).

    Billion dollar global insight - 4:50 instead of cloth based soft gloves that trap germs and reduced productivity as workers have to work slower and more careful to avoid slicing their fingers off at the vertical machine saw (when passing through raw meat), equip each worker with medieval style lightweight metal (stainless steel) mesh gloves? This will increase speed and output for each worker and reduce labour costs. Noteworthy is the reduce risks of medical compensation payout and costs to insurance companies on their financial disbursement to disabled workers. Which male will marry a fingerless woman who is poor? Conversely, there is the concern of the metal gloves exterior touched or sawed by the saw resulting in hard metal particles inserted on the raw meat products which is ingested by end customers resulting in laceration of mouth, tongue, throat and gastrointestinal. Alternatively, why not improve the saw machine with hybrid daylight and night vision dome cameras at the top of the vertical blade pointing down. AI non-networked app in each saw machine measure “Foreign object colour X” e.g. special coloured gloves or colour other than red and white” that does near the safety keep away distance from the running blade, so the saw blade auto stop within half a second. Half severed finger can still be reattached if you reach hospital in time. The concern is the camera may be dirtied by the splatter of meat juice which reduced its effectiveness and accuracy. The second alternative is to use human safe infrared laser (detect foreigner enter kill zone to auto stop blade) system in home burglar alarm system sync with special gloves?
