FEAST ON THE EAST

摘要

She wanted Michael Jenkins in Kuala Lumpur the next day. The trouble was he was in Singapore. Jenkins, now chief executive of leadership institute Roffey Park, took a call from a major client who demanded he meet her so she could give him some feedback. He looked at his diary and suggested next week. She asked him to take the next flight. By now in a something of a sweat, Jenkins headed to the airport. Upon arrival, his client was there to welcome him. "Have you ever eaten fish cooked in coconut milk from the state of Terengganu?" she asked. Jenkins, baffled, admitted that he hadn't. His client took him to a little kitchen in her high-rise office and they ate the dish while perched on rickety stools. Once they had finished, she took Jenkins back to the meeting room. "Mike," she said, "we are very happy with the programme."
