Actor Turned Food Critic Moses Lim, 71, Tells Us The Hawker Food He’d Queue For
The well-loved funnyman is back in the spotlight to do a pop-up showcasing hard-to-find nostalgic Cantonese dishes at Goodwood Park Hotel’s Chinese restaurant Min Jiang. 8days.sg catches up with him.
It’s no secret that queuing up for food is a national pastime in Singapore. Some may argue that queuing is a “young people’s thing” — that only those born in, er, later years would have the energy and time to line up for a fad snack. But Under One Roof star Moses Lim, 71, is all for joining a long queue even as a septuagenarian.
We’re catching up with the veteran funnyman, who has since phased out of comedy acting to become a food critic and F&B consultant. He’s usually busy with leading 200-strong groups to places like China for food tours, he says, but that has been temporarily put on hold due to the pandemic.
More recently, he persuaded three Hong Kong veteran chefs to come out of retirement for a pop-up 8 Hands Culinary Showcase of classic Cantonese dishes at Goodwood Park Hotel’s Chinese restaurant Min Jiang, where 8days.sg met him.
