Not only do the people of Glasgow get to see the Malaysian athletes compete, but they are also getting a taste of the Malaysian cuisine through Ping Coombes' food truck outside Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall.
Coombes cooked up dishes like Kari Ayam Chicken Curry, Curry Laska and Beef Bendang. The surrounding audience were given the Chicken Curry recipe on a card to make at home, for themselves or for a dinner party. Ping also gave little hints into how to cook the food her way (which was actually her mother's way as her mother taught her how to cook).
Born in Bath, Coombes isn't used to the fast paced popularity she is getting, but takes it in her stride as best she can. since winning Masterchef she has hit the ground running and hasn't stopped since.
"I still can't believe I won," Ping states: "I get recognised when I am out now. It's crazy. I'm sure it will all die down soon though and in a few weeks people won't even remember who I am."
Ping went to the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth on Wednesday, and posted on Twitter: "Just a tad excited that I'll be going to the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony tonight.”
Coombes brings one of the only Malaysian food trucks to Glasgow. Glasgow is known for its diverse food cultures, but it lacks a vast amount of pan Asian recipes. If you would like to try it, then you better be quick as it won't be there for long.
