Ben Yeo’s Son Says Out Of Everything Ben Has Cooked At Home, His Favourite Thing To Eat By Dad Is Rice
Only the rice?!
It’s no secret Ben Yeo really knows his way around a kitchen. After all, he did collaborate with McDonalds to release a crispy Hainanese chicken rice burger last year. And he's the towkay of popular Singapore Chee Cheong Fun brand as well as two F&B stalls.
But according to his older son, 12-year-old Javier, the 43-year-old star isn’t the head chef at home.
Rather, it’s Ben’s wife, Claudia, who cooks for the family. Ben and Claudia also have a younger son — nine-year-old Jarius.
Family cook-off time?
In the latest JustSwipeLah episode, which is a collaboration with the Ministry of Social And Family Development for National Family Week, Ben stepped into a kitchen with Javier to bake a cake together, with Javier dropping a bunch of unintentionally funny bon mots about his dad's cooking.
Like how his favourite dish, out of everything that Ben has cooked at home, is… rice. Just rice. Nothing else. Guess Javier isn’t a picky eater?
Rice to meet you.
“What do you mean only rice? I made other dishes too, like soup,” Ben asked Javier only for the boy to reply: “Did you make soup before? That’s all made by Mummy.”
Okay, but in Ben’s defense, he explained that he used to cook more often, but has since passed the spatula over to his wife ‘cos of work.
He's got his hands full with work.
In any case, Javier still thinks really highly of his dad. When asked how he would rate his dad out of a 100, he immediately replied “100”.
“He always puts family first. For example, once I was very sick. He was working, [but] he immediately stopped [work] and came back home. That made me feel very loved,” Javier said.
Ben's still a Super Dad, 'kay?
However, he has one small complaint about Ben: he “always sleeps too much”.
“You always fall asleep. If you’re not sleeping, you’ll watch soccer,” Javier complained to Ben as they decorated their cake. But hey, isn’t that a sign that Ben’s really giving his all at work to provide for his family?
