A Good Chef Brings Joy to People

Grandpop was admitted to Putra Hospital in Melaka on Saturday. So, yesterday dad, mum and I decided to drive down to Melaka to check on him. I would scoot to KL straight from Melaka. We started off from Segamat quite late at around 6.30pm. Half way at Jementah, we decided to stop by this restaurant called Seng Kee Seafood Sharkfin Restaurant.

This dude, i presume he's the boss, came and took our order. He started off by asking what fish we want. Dad said we don't want fish, we just want some simple dishes. This dude's friendly demenour turned into contempt immediatelly. Starting from that moment, his attitude was down right disrespectful.

Cooks or restaurant owners like these destroyed the whole meaning of cooking for others. Yes, restaurants are to make money. But at the sametime, these ppl should not forget that cooks are suppose to bring joy to ppl through their cooking. Again, i this dude obviouslly doesn't know the true spirit of cooking...to me, its nothing for a chef to cook up a storm using top of the range ingredients...but if u make a mean dish out of bitter gourd and eggs...i will say that u r something....
