RESTAURANT
- I am a Silent Investor in a company engaged in Restaurant and Catering operations, Skillet and Griddle P. Ltd., which operates the Tak Heng restaurant brand.
- Beyond that, I personally enjoy cooking, mostly meat. I find that it relaxes me.
FOOD
- I do not currently, but want to -- have my own organic herb- and salad-garden. Nowadays, I tend to like to eat very healthy most days -- a lot of berries and fruits, salads and soups. I love a good home-cooked bone broth Borshch and a green salad for lunch or dinner.
- I am a 'foodie'! I like eating out at Fine Dining Restaurants, acting as a food critic, and entertaining. I find it relaxing to occasionally cook gourmet cuisine -- Contemporary Western, Middle Eastern, Northern Indian ...

DRINKS
I don't smoke or abuse any other drugs, and very rarely drink alcohol these days, generally only at a few parties with friends and family during the Christmas / Chanukah / Winter Holidays season. On those rare occasions,
- I like liqueurs. Bailey’s Irish Cream (Original flavor) is always great.
- ‘Gin and Tonic’ and ‘Bloody Mary’ are cocktails I enjoy.
- Cardhú (neat, or on the rocks) would be my favorite Whisky (Single Malt Scotch), and
- “Old Monk” Black Rum from India is the best for a casual Rum-and-coke with friends.
- My favorite wines are
- Eiswein (Mosel Valley, Deutschland, “S.A. Prüm, Graacher Dompropst Riesling Eiswein 2002 Fass 58”),
- Sherry (“Harvey’s Bristol Cream”, any year, Jerez / Cadiz, España) and
- EOS “Tears of Dew”, a pretty rare late harvest California white muscatel sweet dessert wine -- 1995 and 2007 were excellent years.
