PART ELEVEN: Cooking Up A Feast At BeBe Wok n Roll with Tee & Carlos



Impress your mom with your new Thai dishes by taking a one-day course at Bebe Wok "n" Roll.


You'll learn how to make your own chilli paste, the 7 different kinds of Thai curries and best of all, be entertained by the smiley hippie chief, Tee and his assistant, Carlos who bears a striking resemblance to Santana. Bearing a moustache, a goatie, his long mane of hair neatly tied into a long pony tail, Tee looks more like a hippie rocker than our stereotypical perception of a typical "Bebe" in the kitchen.


The class usually comprises only 4-6 students and the best part is you'll get toinvite a few guests for dinner. His lovely dog, Ginger, affectionately called his "daughter", is one of the most human-like dogs. A cross bred between a Golden Retriever (her dad) and a Dalamation (her mom), it explains the beautiful golden mane, and distinctive white spots. Ginger, is very friendly and loves to be patted and caressed. She walks around in between the gas stoves and pots at ease.


Accordingly to Tee, Ginger is a food connoisseur herself. She loves chicken and Tee has to mix the chicken and rice well, if it’s not well-mixed, she would just take a consolatory bite and walk off. Many times during the lesson, she would just place her face on your lap, waiting for a nice stroke. At times, when you are stroking her, she would even put her paw onto your hand.
