“The original photo was for a dining out feature we
did in 2005 when Tatler used to get people to try
out new restaurants around town,” says Candice.
“This one was for a Korean restaurant called
Kaya.” Peter chimes in, “I just remember a lot of
steam coming out from the pot in front of us and
feeling like I was getting a Korean soup facial.”
Twelve years down the track and Candice has
her own restaurant, Ciao Chow—the site of our
recreation. “I never imagined that Candice would
become a big restaurateur herself,” Peter says, to
which Candice responds, “I wouldn’t call myself
a big restaurateur, but thanks for the compliment,
Peter.” The pair may now have a grey hair or two
and a wrinkle here and there, but their chemistry
hasn’t changed one bit.
