Dear friends – without wanting to sound like a braggart I had to share my results for the final essay with you.
That was the one on nyonya/Peranakan cuisine. This essay completed the Professional Certificate in the post-graduate MA degree in Gastronomy . First stage is over! *cue fireworks!*
I am delighted and humbled to tell you that I scored an 88% – a High Distinction. It was so gratifying to do well on a subject that means so much to me. I think you all know by now that Singapore and Malaysia hold the keys to my heart. Writing and researching about the nyonyas was a pleasure.
I wish you could all come over for a glass of bubbly to help me celebrate. Thank you again for all your kind words of encouragement and inspiration along the way xx

Congrats! And is that trip at the end of the year still on??
Thank you happygrub 🙂 I wish it was but I have a feeling we’re going to have to delay it – my sister is coming over from the UK 🙂 later in the year so I imagine Christmas will be here. Soon, soon though *fingers crossed*
Whoohoo! *goes mad with ra-ra gear*
Congratulations, sweetrosie! 😀
Many congratulations! What an impressive grade.
Sorry for the late wish, sweetie, but congratulations on the stellar results!!! *hugs*
I’m really surprised I never found you before seeing that I was looking for LCB bloggers a while back. Anyway, congrats on your great results and do you think I could have a peek at your essay? ^^ (big fan of nonya cuisine) (just finished basic patisserie in Syd by the way, do drop by ^^)
sorry for the late wish, but well done on the high distinction. I know how hard it is to achieve that. a lot of blood sweat and tears go into writing papers. also the walk through your garden was lovely, I combined that with a glass of bubbly to celebrate with you
Well done, sweet Rosie! I would have pass you with flying colors just knowing you love our Nyonya food.
A little bit of Sweet, a ting of sourish tangy a aa aa of salt and alot of pedas will keep the good doctor away!
Congrats on getting a high distinction! As I know, it is not always easy to get high distinctions in that course so you should definitely be proud. When I wrote that paper, I never heard of Nyonya/Peranakan cuisine before and about a year later I went to Singapore. I wish I went to Singapore first then wrote the paper.
Thank you so much Michelle – are we fellow gastronomy students ? 😉
I am just finishing assign #1 for this semester and the nerves are back again 🙂 I hope I’ve got it right, it’s been hard to get back into all that reading after the break…
I’d love to hear from you again – it would be great to have a chat about our mutual passion 🙂
