I finally got hold of my two copies of 'My Favourite Recipe Book' a compilation of recipes by our very own foodies, bloggers or otherwise. The recipe book was a sold-out and a signed copy of it (by Her Royal Highness ‘Azemah Ni’matul Bolkiah) raked in a further B$5,586.00 for its charity of choice, the Special Olympics Brunei Darussalam. The aim was to raise funds to send our special ones to the World Special Olympics in Athens in 2011.
I feel most guilty at not being able to partake, but hopefully there'll be a next time. I've read that the recipe book gathered some vitriolic discussion over on RA's tagboard over some missing ingredients in some recipes, well-intentioned people simply using the book for fame and glory, the usual defeatist comments that seems all too common in our country. All I can say is My Favourite Recipes is a commendable and worthwhile effort and that at least these folks stepped up to the plate and gave their time for charity:

Ps/ Bobby likes the look of the Udang Galah In Saffron Dill Sauce by Brunei Creative Chefs on Pg 29 and I'll give Yee-Man's Chinese Chicken Salad on Pg 10 a go.
