Lowe discusses Lim's exploits in the kitchen: "It was a feast, amazing stuff then he told us it was cooked rat!"

Paul Lim was announced for the World Seniors Darts Championship on Friday and 'The Singapore Slinger' told of cooking for John Lowe and Eric Bristow after training to be a chef.

Lowe spoke to Oche about that and told of an interesting story of how he cooked them rat and going to a restaurant in Singapore to eat snake.

“I’ve known Paul for 45 years and he’s a great bloke. On his day he can beat anyone in the world," said Lowe to Oche.

“He’s also a real character. He told Eric and I and a few of the other players that he would cook for us one time in his restaurant.

“It was a feast, amazing stuff. We ate the lot – then afterwards he told us it was cooked rat!

“Another time he took me to a restaurant in Singapore and they served us snake. There were poisonous snakes hanging from poles and we chose one.

“They cut it up in front of us and took out the poison, cooked it and actually it was nice, tasting like lobster.

“But Paul’s also a good player. He’s beaten all the top boys and anyone who can hit a TV nine-darter has tons of ability.

“If Paul is in the mood then he could make them sweat, on the oche or in the kitchen.”
