In her cheerful little apartment, Ili Sulaiman is hard at work preparing a range of dishes. She adds a little garnish here, tops up the kuah (gravy) in another bowl and smiles in satisfaction at the fruits of her labour.

Ili is a famed local celebrity chef whose bubbly personality, infectious smile, pure charm and culinary wizardry have bagged her presenting roles on Asian Food Network shows like By The Sea with Ili and Family Feast with Ili. As a consequence, she has become a beloved food personality over the years and even has a thriving steamboat and grill delivery business to her name called Ilipot.
