While roast turkey is an undisputed favourite at Christmas – especially in the Western world – it is also notorious for yielding dry meat. Many a time, families have sliced excitedly into the bird, only to find meat that is bone-dry, consequently sucking all the joy out of the festive meal.

But where some have met with despair, Ho Kim Loon has found enormous success. Ho is probably better known to many Malaysians as the eponymous owner of Mr Ho’s Fine Foods in Bangsar, where he first built a name for himself.
