Christopher Yeo takes pride in being the first restaurateur to bring authentic Singaporean cuisine to the Bay Area. Chris has perfected his version of Singaporean cuisine, by blending the flavors and cooking styles of Thai, Indonesian, Chinese, Malay, Indian and Nonya (a result of the marriages between Chinese men and Malay women generations ago) cuisines with exotic spices and fresh herbs.
His high standards and impeccable palate have earned him critical acclaim and a loyal following among aficionados of Southeast Asian cuisine. Yeo is also a co-author with Joyce Jue of the cookbook, Cooking of Singapore. Chris is one of the cofounders of the Asian Chefs Association in San Francisco.

Dear Mr. Yeo
I am a sixth-grade student at Baylor School in Chattanooga, TN. I’m working on a documentary film on the topic of Chinese Food, and I think you might be able to help me with information. Could you answer some questions for my research?
1) What are the differences in food between Northern and Southern China?
2) What is your favorite food to cook and why?
3) When did Chinese food originated?
4) What do Chinese people eat on a regular basis?
Thank you for you time and consideration,
Sincerely,
Henry. W
Greetings,
In the interest of authentic, performance-based learning, my middle-school students are reaching out to experts about China as they prepare a documentary film about a topic of their choice. If you can, I appreciate very much your willingness to answer a few questions they have, taking just a few minutes of your time, I hope. I’ve tried to make sure they’re asking “expert” questions, after having done basic research already. Thanks for your assistance, and feel free to contact me if you have questions.
