  1. People don't realise how much balls it takes to open multiple restaurants with completely DIFFERENT concepts/cuisines.

    Hopefully his business remains strong amid the ME turmoil.

  2. Singapore rarely gives opportunities like this to minority races. In an interview, this chef shared that he faced blatant racist comment from Chinese Singaporean who undermined him simply because he is Malay chef. Unfortunately, this is a reality that often gets ignored in Singapore, as the country prefers to show the image of being a meritocratic, multiracial society, at the expense of the minorities.

  3. Behind this successful man is his WIFE!
    His wife is the pillar in his home so that he could, fully concentrate on his restaurant businesses.
    Resilience, determination and extreme hard work make him successful.
    Well done and wish you and your family all the very best.

    Give credit when credit is due ie to his wife.

  4. Melayu Malaysia saja sibuk pasal Melayu Singapore. Kalau tiada subsidi ini hasil dia. Malaysia disuap macam macam walk out Malaysia Melayu lost
