My Ambition

To be a successful Chef of course!! As I always believe that "Food fuels the body, Good Food fuels the soul". Nothing tastes better than food for the soul. My ears always perk up when I hear people talking about food. Guess it's a natural instinct. I am very interested in traditional French Cuisine, hopefully I can veer into this area sometime soon. I do not really like fusion food for now, as it's more of confusion for me. I'm also keen in paring wines with foods and curious in gastronomy.

My Five Years Plan

I'll be graduating from SHATEC in about 2 more years with my hotel attachment done. I hope I can get an internship at Swissotel the Stamford, as I think it'll be fantastic to be working at the restaurant on the 70th level. Fine dining at it's best. After getting my diploma, I may consider furthering my studies at Le Cordon Bleu to get more overseas experience and maybe work overseas for a year or two. With my experience then, I hope I would have a chance to work at the IR at Sentosa and hopefully get a membership at One Degree 15. Now that'll be nice wouldn't it?

Goals and Achievements

My goal in life is to be able to open a restaurant of my own, hopefully overseas, maybe even at the Big Apple. Who knows really? You never try, you'll never know as I always say. Nothing much for achievements for now, as I've just ventured into this industry, but I know there'll be lot's of it in the future.

Education and Experiences

To cut a long story short, I went to JC after my O levels, as I wasn't sure about what I wanted in Life. I spent my 2 years in NS to ponder about this and decided a culinary career is what I wanted. It was a big switch for me, but a good one. I've learnt a lot in my time at SHATEC and hopefully I'll learn more in the industry. Didn't have much working experience except for a short stint working at Amara Sanctuary. It was definitely an eye-opener for me, seeing how things works in the real life industry.
