Hi this Sally here , Chef is my ex boss. I was his assistant for about nearly 10 years he treated me more like a friend not a staff. l thank him for allowing me to travel with him to his show around Asian and Europe , l have learn alot from him . We still keep touch , chef Wan is my best boss we still keep touch, from time to time he ajar me makan at his house or his restaurant not only makan he is so generous and compassion he some time gave ang pau too. He work very fast and got a quick tongue 😅 some time get himself in trouble. He didn't have hatred for any one. He can forgive any one easily. That's what l like about him . Take care chef . May u have good health, joy and lots of happiness ❤

Thank you! We have an episode with Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin coming out next, and we'd appreciate your support again. 😚

Hello fr Singapore It's never boring to listen to Mr Chef Wan. He is always honest to goodness type of person.

Wow! Just wow. The story is so inspiring. Went through a financial difficulties, and when I watched this, somehow it inspired me to be better and be tougher to rise up from the ashes. Life is tough, but we are tougher. I love the natural interaction of Deborah and making Chef Wan, open up his story. That is a good host skill. When I look at Deborah, it reminded me of ways Oprah Winfrey interviewing people. Thank you for sharing this beautiful interview.

Growing up watching Chef wan’s program are one of the best feelings! He’s more than a chef! dia punya antics are very entertaining.

Deborah, your content is excellent. Keep up the good work. There's a lot to learn from an icon like Chef Wan. I didn't feel like I wasted an hour watching the whole thing. ❤

I couldn't agree more.......she is excellent so is Datuk Wan

I have loved chef wan fir a long time. Since I was a little girl watching his cooking show when I was abt 10 yrs old. Mum and me always felt entertained by his antics n of course his mouth. Lol. Now I'm 54 yrs old lived in Perth. First thing I did when went to kl for holiday was to have dinner at his rest at Kl East Mall. Took a photo with his cut out at the front of his rest ,cause chef was not around. Bummer. Nevertheless he has always been my idol ,then ,now and forever. May Allah contd to shower you Chef Wan with all his bounties. Aamiin❤

An excellent role model from rags to riches without being a diva.❤

So glad I 'bumped' into this while scrolling. Good job, Deb!

Chef Wan had a very interesting start to becoming a chef. Congratulations on your podcast Deb 👏

Finally a podcast with Chef Wan, one of my favourite people. Always wanted to hear his life story and it's really amazing. I love how he shares every detail of his life instantly on Instagram whether it's his travels, work and even his cancer journey so that we know how it feels.

Love the card game, was a super cute touch to the podcast. Stunning set as well, very well curated and amazingly executed.

my childhood was in the late 60s and 70s....and vividly i remember the Cina apek in the dark blue boxer tied with a draw string

Such a brilliant content for Malaysians ❤❤

Such creative podcast by Deb, warm but informational. Congratulations Deb!🎉

Based on rhe cards game, I’d say all those 3 traits exemplified by DCW is commonly prevalent amongst first borns; taking care of family, siblings, being helpful and always thinking a step ahead.

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this podcast of yours, Deb. This is so inspiring, and you show us that this is one of the ways of “giving back”! I got so much input on this and it was so inspirational! Congrats ! ❤

You potcast was great except for the card game. You should have stopped after 10 cards. It became so boring. Chef Wan was super honest. And keep to English not Manglish!
