M/S "Emma Jebsen" - Chef at work, - Chan Lap Chung cooking in the engine control room. - (Photography by Karsten Petersen ©)
With different groups of Chinese onboard, it was unavoidable, that what was considered delicious for one group, was not necesssarily so great for others - - -
In the engine room we always used only Cantonese people, and they have their own favourites - just like the Swatow- and the Foochow-sailors have theirs - - -
Therefore it sometimes happened that the engine people, - the Cantonese -, made their own cooking on a hotplate in the engine control room, and really enjoyed food like it should be to their taste: Perfect!
In this series of pictures, it is Engine Fitter Chan Lap Chung that took the responsibility for cooking genuine Cantonese food, - and of course we were all invited to join in - - -
M/S "Emma Jebsen" Chan Lap Chung has just been cooking - Uhmmmmmmmm - - - Perfect! - (Photography by Karsten Petersen ©)
