HONG KONG Renowned food critic and columnist Chua Lam has broken his social media silence after a one-month hiatus to reveal he is recovering from a fractured leg.
The 81-year-old Singapore-born media personality, who is based in Hong Kong, used to post daily diary entries on Facebook until March 23.
He wrote then that he was taking time off to recuperate for a few days, but his continued radio silence led to concern for his well-being. He did not respond to recent queries from the Hong Kong press either.
The avid foodie, who has written a number of restaurant guides, also joked in the post that his hospitalisation has nothing to do with eating dangerous dishes and freshwater fish sashimi.
His latest Facebook update on Tuesday reassured his fans that he was well, and he apologised for not explaining clearly what had happened to him.
He revealed that he was still in hospital as he had broken his thigh bone in a fall and had to have a metal rod inserted.
Recovery is long and painful. Im not in the best of spirits and dont feel like doing anything. I hope everyone can forgive me, he wrote. I dont even want to think about when I can continue writing my diary. Please give me some space.
