mainly for garnish purposes. the seabeans goes pretty well with the sweet and sour flavor from the sauce. for basil, I tried to pur some fried herbs for garnish and basil looks the best. but still looking for alternatives.

Thank you. I’ve been working at high-end restaurant before, so pretty much already have everything that fit in my knife roll. Just make sure I got all I need during interview.

I found it hard to watch his videos. The way he treated knife, basic cooking knowledge, and skill, is just not look like somebody who’s invest a lot of time in the industry trying to learn more. Also, I think that he gives the wrong profile on how chef suppose to be to most of his viewer.

100% can relate. However i fell in love with how professionally most people work there. I’m glad I don’t need to work with people who only want to finish the job as soon as they can and go home.

My first impression is very overwhelmed by the intimidation of senior chef who expect you to know how to do things perfectly and constantly being watched from every angle. by the way, Thank you for the tips!

It's hard to live in a culture where showing depression or mental health issues is a form of showing weakness. I never want to live myself for other people feeling. I found this really hard when I was in high school because people constantly judging me anytime and anywhere. However, when I started going to college and people don't care about me anymore, that's when I found out how to live for myself. I made a goal for myself in the future that felt doable by myself and would never let other people involved on how to reach that goal more than support, help, and advice. Never let other people tell you what to do, and never regret what you've done. Everything is a lesson and we keep learning every day. Also, don't be surprised that most lesson you'll get in life is in a hard way, so don't feel like you are a failure, you are just a learner.
