Manel Chef Biography:

Manel's dad, Krishnan, was a holy man, a Brahmin. Her mother was a Wallee, and they were Tamil-Hindu Indian Malaysians, a minority group to be sure. The family observed a strictly vegetarian diet. While harbouring her secret, savoured chicken rice habit, Manel learned her mother's traditional Tamil-Brahmin recipes and as an enterprising young woman with a baby to raise, began two food businesses.
