My Perfect Weekend with chef Inderpal Singh
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Chef Inderpal Singh (second from right) and his extended family at the zoo. Who: Inderpal Singh is the winner of the fourth season of MasterChef Singapore (2023), a local Mediacorp reality cooking competition based on the original British show MasterChef (1990 to present). T he 36-year-old former accountant was a home-based F&B business owner for 2½ years, when he sold six-course meals to customers that included butter chicken and chapati. After MasterChef Singapore, he worked at Australian-style wood-fired restaurant Burnt Ends for around six months as its chef de partie. The Singaporean opened his r estaurant, Meh'r by Inderpal, in January. The rooftop eater y i n South Bridge Road serves modern interpretations of South-east Asian fare. On Saturday evenings until Aug 9, Meh'r is offering a SG60 Free-Flow Satay Buffet for $58 a person. Against a backdrop of the National Day Parade fireworks, the 90-minute buffet features a selection of all-you-can-eat skewers alongside a la carte dishes and drinks. Meh'r is closed on Sundays and Mondays. He is married to Ms Sandhya Kaur, 34, who works in tech. The couple have a three-year-old daughter. 'On Sunday mornings, we typically get ready and then head to the temple for some prayers, before visiting either my parents or in-laws to have teh tarik and unwind . A cup of tea usually takes me away and allows me to disconnect from the world. I love eating home-cooked food at my in-laws' place, with ayam penyet being my guilty pleasure. I spend time with my wife too. Despite seeing each other daily, it is usually a rush, so the weekends give us some time to reconnect. I also have tea with people I love or have not connected with in a while. I also love watching, rewatching and reading everything about the Star Wars film franchise (1977 to present). On Mondays, I send my wife to work and daughter to school in the morning before having some time to myself. I usually head to Johor Bahru to get a massage, do some shopping or indulge in some delicious food. I also love the zoo, and it has been my go-to spot since I was a kid. When I was young, my mum started the tradition of taking me there on special occasions like my birthday. Now that I am older, this has translated to me taking my daughter there monthly. '

How to clean jewellery, according to the experts
@tiffanyandco 'Jewellery is the most transformative thing you can wear,' said the late, great fashion icon Iris Apfel. How to clean jewellery, then, should be an easily answerable and well-attended to question within your fashion vocabulary. Whether an ornate, gemstone-studded brooch, a simple set of gold hoops to wear every day, a family heirloom necklace, or 'MOM'-emblazoned knuckle rings: Your special pieces deserve to be kept tarnish-free, sparkly, and clean. It doesn't have to be so complicated, but there's a few hard and fast rules to stick to when it comes to keeping your jewellery shining. You should first determine exactly what material your jewellery is made from: Gold or gold-plated? Silver or sterling silver? Brass or gemstone? This may affect how you approach your cleaning process, and how often you do it. You can check in, too, on your jewellery manufacturer to see if they have any specific recommendations (brands like Pandora and Mejuri do) or products they advise to use with their pieces. When in doubt, check with the maker of your jewel. Brands are upping their after-sales service these days to support the care and maintenance of the pieces you've acquired from them. Cartier's Takashimaya flagship boasts a dedicated area just for this. Courtesy of Cartier It's also good to remember that storing your jewellery correctly is just as important for keeping them tarnish-free and intact: Separate your pieces, keep them cool, and keep them out of direct sunlight. Andraya Kenon, founder and creative director of brand Celeste Starre, says: 'Store your pieces separately to keep them gleaming for a lifetime.' I sought out Emily Nunns, founder of British brand Ballinger (and former Vogue senior strategist), which creates statement, demi-fine jewellery that's inspired by vintage family heirlooms and all about jewellery that would last. 'I wasted lots of money over the years on earrings that would tarnish quickly or rings that would turn my fingers green after just a few wears!' she says. 'I'm not even talking about cheap jewellery either, I was buying from expensive brands.' 'Creating Ballinger's first samples involved lots of trial and error. I work with a father-and-son duo based in Istanbul to bring my jewellery designs to life,' explains Nunns. 'The final technique we decided on using is called physical vapour deposition (PVD) which involves vacuum-coating a thick layer of 18 karat gold on top of our base metals. (We use sterling silver and also brass). This technique makes jewellery 10 times stronger than standard gold-plating, so it dramatically enhances its durability. We've even run rigorous tests on Ballinger pieces, such as running them through the dishwasher and soaking them in various substances, such as salt water, and we're yet to find something that has damaged our pieces.' Here's someone with hardy knowledge on how to clean jewellery and craft pieces that last. Before we've even got to breaking down your jewellery cleaning regimen, a precautionary top tip from Nunns is to put your jewellery on after—not before—applying body lotion, perfume, oils, or SPF. 'This will make any type of jewellery easier to clean after wear and generally help to protect it,' she says. What causes your jewellery to get dull and dirty? It's usually going to be soaps, lotions, and body oils that create that cloudy, hazy affect. Also, there's the environment: Pollution, dirt, and dust. Your everyday activities, from swimming to showering, gardening, and just being out in the world can collect grime. Below is your fail-safe guide for how to clean jewellery. @jessica_mccormack 1 / 7 How often should you clean your jewellery? 'Little and often' is Nunns' rule. 'I would recommend wiping down your jewellery a few times a week if you wear it every day,' she says. 'Then, once a month, you can do a deeper clean of your favourite pieces. All you will need is warm water, dish soap, a soft toothbrush, and a cloth.' Nunns advises to stay away from alcohol-based cleaners. 'I would generally steer clear of using alcohol to clean jewellery. It isn't necessary and can damage certain materials. Alcohol can also dry out the natural oils in gemstones causing them to look cracked.' The internet is overrun with varying information, and Nunns also recommends being cautious when it comes to TikTok's DIY cleaning hacks. 'I've seen some slightly worrying ones encouraging you to dip your jewellery into harsh household chemicals which I would not recommend!' she says. @pomellato 2 / 7 How to clean gold and gold-plated jewellery Solid gold is durable and won't tarnish. Gold-plated jewellery—where there's a less expensive metal base coated in a thin layer of gold—can chip. Whatever the case, proceed carefully. Use a mild soap—washing up liquid works just fine, says Nunns—and some warm water. 'Mild soap is crucial as anything too harsh can damage your jewellery, so avoid anything containing bleach or chlorine,' Nunns adds. Add a few drops of the soap to a small, warm water bath and carefully place your jewellery inside. You can let it soak for a few minutes. You can also recruit a soft toothbrush into your arsenal. 'My top tip is to use a baby toothbrush as they have softer bristles,' she says. 'Used wet or dry, a toothbrush can get into crevices in jewellery that a cloth cannot reach.' Give it a final rinse. Then, once your jewellery is fully dry, buff it with a microfibre cloth. Avoid over-cleaning plated pieces. The most important facet of any jewellery cleaning routine, whatever kind you have, is to be gentle —no scrubbing or aggressive rubbing. That's especially true for gold-plated or silver-plated pieces. @agmesnyc 3 / 7 How to clean silver and sterling silver jewellery Silver jewellery does tarnish. The main difference in the approach to looking after silver jewellery, Nunns says, is not so much in how you keep it clean, but in that it needs to be stored properly to reduce the risk of tarnishing. 'Excessive exposure to air, moisture, and sunlight is what causes silver jewellery to tarnish, so always store silver pieces inside a lined jewellery box,' she explains. With her own brand Ballinger, she has created pretty velvet blue gift boxes that come with every order for your jewellery to be safely and chicly stored in. You can also invest in some silver polish or foam—like this one from Goddard's—that helps to remove tarnishing and leaves a protective coating. Be warned, though, this can get a bit messy. You can get some disposable silver polish wipes or keep a cloth just for your polishing to hand. Need a more DIY method for more intensive tarnishing? You can also try mixing three parts baking soda to one part water to create a paste, dampening your silver, and running a cloth with the paste over your jewellery. Rinse then buff. A small smear of toothpaste also works here if you don't have baking soda. Still, Clare Ngai-Howard, founder and creative director of Bonbonwhims (a whimsical, Y2K-inspired, and AAPI-owned jewellery and accessory brand based in New York City, which utilises materials from enamel to resin, metals and freshwater pearls) advises: 'For our sterling silver pieces, I use a silver polishing cloth, as baking soda sometimes can scratch the metal.' @viviennewestwood 4 / 7 How to clean fashion and costume jewellery Costume jewellery or fashion jewellery can fall foul of tarnishing—often, because they're made from less hardy materials like aluminium, brass, or copper. To keep things as tarnish-free and undamaged as possible, you'll once again create your dish soap and warm water solution. But this time, don't think to soak your pieces—doing so could dissolve any gems, glue, or plastics. Instead, take a microfibre cloth and dip it into your soapy water, and run it over your jewellery carefully. Once clean, wipe a clean, soapless cloth over your jewellery, pat it dry, and leave it to air dry on top of a towel. @official_mikimoto 5 / 7 How to clean jewellery with gems, precious stones or pearls 'The safest way to clean your rings at home is with warm water and a mild dish soap—I use Ivory,' Elizabeth Doyle of Doyle & Doyle, an antique jewellery store in New York's Meatpacking District, tells Vogue . For stubborn dirt, soak your rings, bracelets, or stoned necklaces for a while to loosen up the debris. Then, brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush. 'Make sure to get behind your stones in the mountings where dirt and grime can accumulate,' says Doyle. Warning though: Cleansers should not be used on any organic gems, like coral or pearls, or porous stones like opals or turquoise: 'The alcohol in the sanitiser can dry out the gems and lead to surface damage or cracking.' Pearls in particular, you should be extra careful with. 'Pearls are incredibly delicate; even washing them in water that is too warm can damage them,' adds Nunns. 'Dish soap can make pearls lose their shine, and anything too acidic or abrasive can permanently scratch or damage pearls. I would recommend washing them in just lukewarm water and once air-dried, use a soft cloth to wipe them.' After daily wear of pieces with gemstones or pearls in them, Nunns would also recommend giving them a quick wipe with a soft cloth a few times a week to remove any oils or perfume build-up from the surface. And if you've sourced some stunning, well-adorned pieces from the Georgian and early Victorian eras, you should also take special care. 'Water can get into rings with closed-back mountings and affect the appearance of the stones,' says Doyle. 'Also, locket rings or any ring that has a photo of some other decoration under glass should not be washed with water.' @vancleefarpels 6 / 7 When should you use a professional service? If you're worried about damaging a particular piece of jewellery–whether that's an antique, a sentimental family heirloom, or a more intricate piece—Nunns recommends seeking professional help. 'A jeweller will be able to make your piece sparkle again,' she says. 'However with your everyday demi-fine jewellery, you shouldn't need to use a professional service if you clean it yourself at home.' Courtesy of Monica Vinader 7 / 7 Keeping your jewellery clean and in top condition These are some must-do habits to incorporate into your everyday routine with your most loved everyday pieces. Always remove your rings when you're washing your hands, showering, cleaning your house, doing your makeup or skincare, putting on perfume, or swimming. Invest in anti-tarnish bags or boxes and keep strict on how you store your jewellery. If ever in doubt, consult your local jeweller on particularly sentimental or of-value pieces to inspect their condition and for any extra advice on keeping them in good shape.

Naked Gun co-stars Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson reportedly dating
Actors Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have reportedly been secretly dating for a while. Anderson, 58, and her Naked Gun co-star Neeson, 73, have not confirmed speculation they are a couple but it has been claimed they have been spending time together at her home in Canada. A source told British tabloid 'Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive. 'She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs. 'Pam cooks and gardens at home... it's wholesome and appealing and very un-Hollywood and Liam loves that. He actually gets involved.' Anderson and Neeson are said to have had immediate chemistry on the Naked Gun set. An insider told American entertainment magazine Us Weekly: 'They always had chemistry while they were filming and their friendship naturally developed into more. 'They are learning how to navigate it together. They are both shy and have tried to stay private but the spark between them is obvious.' And, Neeson has received the seal of approval from Anderson's sons Brandon Thomas Lee, 29, and Dylan Jagger Lee, 27, who she shares with ex-husband and musician Tommy Lee. The source said: 'They love seeing her happy and fully approve. They think Liam is great and have gotten to know him better in the last few months.' Neeson has two sons, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28, with late wife Natasha Richardson, who died in 2009 at the age of 45 after a skiing accident. He previously confessed to being 'madly in love' with Pamela as he gushed about working with her. He told American celebrity news site People: 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with.'
