Chanced upon your blog while searching for this master chef Tham Yui Kai out of print cookery book.
I am trying to get a replacement for my mother , who lost her copy.
Tried the various sites you mentioned to no avail.
Wonder if you have a duplicate copy or is it possible to duplicate from your copy?
My name is Rick Ho and email is
