MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys bid a fond farewell to their 250 shows together, as Glenn will continue the Saturday Morning Show and Neil moves to other MoneyFM89.3 duties (to be announced soon!) 

They look back at the highlights and lowlights of their 1365 extraordinary guests — the founders, creators, athletes, politicians, business leaders, diplomats, activists, and everyday Singaporeans who’ve made the show a staple of Saturday Mornings in the city-state. They revisit the conversations that moved them, surprised them, challenged them, and made them laugh. And WHY were they deemed "Essential Employees" during Covid? Someone has some explaining to do!

On MoneyFM 89.3’ Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to talk to Chef Vicky Ratnani and Chef Raj Kumar about the lesser-know Sindi indian cuisine. A small sub-segment of "indian food" - Sindi came out of the partion of India and Pakistan. Recently for three nights in Singapore, Firangi Superstar restaurant hosted one of the most exciting culinary collaborations of the year brining Sindi cooking to town. Chef Vicky — one of India’s most celebrated chefs, former Executive Chef of the Queen Mary 2, TV personality, and award‑winning author — presented a deeply personal menu rooted in Sindhi cuisine, the food he grew up eating but rarely cooked professionally. Dishes like Sai Bhaji and Aloo Tukk Bravas showcased heritage elevated through modern technique. Chef Raj, Group Head Chef of The Dandy Collection, shares how Firangi Superstar is pushing Indian cuisine into new territory — bold, immersive, and unapologetically inventive. Together, they discuss the global rise of regional Indian cuisine, why Singapore is ready for this shift, and how events like the Sindhi Supper Club are rewriting expectations.
