Before the recipes , there is a two page Foreword by Pamelia Lee , an international tourism consultant . This is followed by a two page dedication and a two page acknowledgement . Included are two pages about the author's father , Leong Mun Soon whose nickname was Shark's Fin Soon and was considered one of the best Chinese chefs in Kuala Lumpur . The author , Sam Leong , is an award winning chef at the Four Seasons Hotel's Jiang Nan Chun restaurant in Singapore . He is also the director of kitchens for the Tong Luk Group of more than twenty restaurants in Singapore . Each recipe has full-page color photograph of the completed dish by Joyce Choo . After the recipes , there is a nine page glossary , each with four ingredients and color photographs . A single page gives weight and measurement conversions for liquids and volume conversions , length , dry measures , and oven temperatures . The last two pages are a collage of Sam Leong .
