That last supper

That last supper

Randy See,

Singapore restaurateur, Piccolo restaurant and Bistro du Vin, HK

For my last meal I would want to have my wife's fa gow soup. My wife is a very good cook. She understands soup. It's not just putting a bunch of ingredients in a pot and boiling it.

I would simply like to spend my last meal with my wife, Veon, and my son, Adam, whose nickname is "Buddy".

I will be in Bangkok on holiday for a week during Christmas, so I will have Thai food for my last meal. Being Chinese, I feel that rice is something I should enjoy until the very end.

The drink will be champagne, as it matches Thai food and is a classy way to end things.

I'll be with eight of my friends. They all decided to join me when I told them about my Christmas plans. For a last supper, as with any meal, it's important to have good food, good friends and good service.

FINDS Hong Kong

As a good Nordic person, I love nature. I would love to be on our family island in the middle of Finland, located in the Lakeland area, which has 200,000 lakes.

Together with my entire family, we would hunt and gather dinner ingredients from nature, just like when I was young and spent all my summers on the island.

We'll feast on trout smoked with juniper tree branches, baked bread, venison roast and pies from a wood fire oven. We'll enjoy wild mushrooms and wild berry compotes preserved during autumn. To drink, we'll have local berry liqueurs, vodka and beer as well as glogg, or Nordic mulled wine.

At midnight, we will retreat into the comfort of our sauna to relax and wait for the world to end, naked as when we were born.

Head chef, Barolo, Ritz-Carlton Beijing I want a taste of home for my final meal, meaning my mom's boiled meat at our home in the countryside.

Mas Tapas Bar, Beijing

My choice is a Cuban sandwich and mariquitas (green plantains sliced length-wise, deep fried and eaten with olive oil and garlic) from a roadside restaurant in Miami. The who is, of course, the family and boyfriend.

CJ Henderson,

Daughter of an amazing cook, sister of a chef

I pick homemade lasagna and pumpkin pie. Or would it be a roast chicken and apple crumble? In any case, the meal would have to be at home, in our big kitchen, bursting with people, kids stealing spoonfuls of this or that as it cooks, laughter, sounds, smells.

And since it's the end of the world, let's throw in a very large glass of wine - we won't be around for the hangover anyway.

Alan Yu,

Executive chef and operations manager Cafe Deco Macao

Being a Hong Kong person, I will enjoy a big Chinese seafood dinner as my last meal, with good champagne to match.

My family is very important to me and I cannot imagine my last meal without my mom, wife and son to make it complete.

I have so many memories from my time at Top Deck: the lights of the harbor and the gentle sea breezes. That is where I want this meal to take place.
