LLBN (Chinese) Cooking Show! Episode 1-5

The past two days, Mrs. Esther Choo and I have been recording a series of cooking shows for LLBN, featuring healthy Chinese vegetarian cuisine. She is the co-founder of Genesis vegan restaurant in Singapore. It's a challenge for me because I am not very fluent in Mandarin. However, I thank God for guiding me with the right words to say. Also, I got to learn some camera-techniques. For example, not moving the plate or bowl when talking to the camera, and counting down to the last second when saying goodbye. It's getting better each time. :) We have done 5 shows so far. Each show is 27minutes, 30 seconds long. Here are some pictures....
