Whenever we eat out, we’d exchange sweet-nothings like ‘Here, have a bite of this, have a taste of that.’ “These days, our conversations are always hurried. Like ‘Quick, quick, you eat first!

Over lunch with M last Thursday at his favourite dining haunt, mezza9 restaurant at Grand Hyatt Singapore, Leong shook his head when this reporter suggested the iconic chilli crab. “I don’t think so. If you’re allergic to seafood, how to eat?” he mused. “Rojak would be my choice. It’s a very nice melange of the different sort of tastes we have. “All cultures in Singapore can enjoy rojak. It doesn’t have pork, neither does it have beef. It’s vegetarian, almost like a salad.

I want to feel good in my skin.” With a laugh, he added: “It’s a quarter-life crisis.” That explains why he’s having Half Roasted Chicken at Western diner Collin’s Grille Bento at King George’s Avenue. “Protein is important.
