Mrs Lim-Koh Mui Luan, or commonly known as Mrs Lim to her students, has been in the F&B industry since 1986. Armed with 23 years of valuable experience in cooking, she is currently teaching as the Principal Teacher at Qi Qi Cooking Class.
Mrs Lim started the cooking business in taking orders for preparing small scale home-bakeries and local delights for families, schools and during festive seasons. As her number of fans increased after tasting her cooking, they encouraged her to conduct classes to share her skills with keen learners.
With the support from the People’s Association, Mrs Lim started teaching in cooking classes at the community centres in 1989. Her passion in cooking resonated through her classes and her students. Her student base expanded over the next 11 years. With strong support from her students, Mrs Lim left the community centre arena and opened her own cooking class, Qi Qi Cooking Class, in year 2000.
With more than two decades of cooking and teaching experience and coupled with her passion for cooking, Mrs Lim has been very creative to create numerous new dishes to share with her students. Knowing how creative Mrs Lim can be, several cook book publishers approached Mrs Lim to partner her in delivering such books to the broader market. Mrs Lim published her first cooking book, “Dessert & Pastry”, in Jun 2001. Over the years, Mrs Lim has also contributed numerous articles to F&B related magazines and our local papers, The Straits Times. This earned her the reputation to qualify as a Judge in numerous cooking competitions held by the People’s Association, community centres and local TV and radio stations. One such competition was the “Moon Cake 72 Changes” Competition hosted by our local renowned Radio DJ Huang Di Chong @ Pasir Ris White Sands Shopping Centre.
Mrs Lim believes that,
“A good dish can be prepared by anyone but,
a great dish must be prepared with a passionate heart”.
