“I love any of Rick Stein's television productions - the way he speaks ...” — Melissa Leong Quote

I love any of Rick Stein's television productions - the way he speaks about food is with such love and respect.

Bangkok's street food culture may have recently been forced to clean up its act but personally, we think there's nothing better than a steaming bowl of noodles eaten within tripping distance of traffic, washed down with a cold beer, of course.

Everybody deserves to be seen and to be heard. Regardless of whether that is your culture, your language, who you love, your ability, or the way you chose to live your life, everybody deserves to be seen and be heard.

My job involves sharing food and the stories behind the plate, in part, via social media.

I've never been in a bad play. There might have been bad productions and I might have been bad in them, but I've never been in a play that wasn't interesting or worthwhile doing on some level.

I've come from theatre and you have different productions of a text in theatre. It's not unusual.

For some reason, they always gave me a fat suit in high-school productions. If there was a character who needed to be robust, they gave me a fat suit, and I put on a silly voice.

There have been a number of film, TV, and - actually - theater productions that have been based off of me. Pretty much none of them have ever actually spoken to me, and I die in most of them.
