5 Star Greetings from Singapore

You guys really hit the sweet spot with this show and the recipe club. They are both (laugh out loud) funny and informative. Would you consider doing a show about your favourite food, especially Singaporean food, on your travels to Asia?

Alf’s laugh from the 80’s tv show.

The only positive from this show is that Chris Ying’s laugh reminds me of Alf’s laugh from the 80’s tv show.

Dave, Chris and Isaac. You guys rock. This podcast as well as Recipe Club are my staples during my drives to work-and-back, to doing work at home, doing chores and everything in between. Thanks for all the laughs, the great discussion topics and the constant egging of Isaac. Huge love from Singapore.
