Wow i can't believe i am working in Singapore now




Its been 6 months since i last updated the where about's of my current travels and working situation. But since then i have been given an amazing opportunity to work in Singapore. Specifically Marina bay sands at restaurant Guy Savoy. Something that I felt was unattainable unless you came from a pedigree of chefs and restaurants that were 3 star Michelin.  The level of focus and concentration is mentally demanding more so then the physical part. Working here its about honing your craft and maintaing the high level of consistency. There are no short cuts here.

great spot to just people watch 


Hachiko the dog, forever waiting for its master






This market is unlike anything you have ever seen. I am talking about FRESH! like REALLY REALLY FRESH! Seafood. There is no fish order or smell. It smells crisp and clear like the sea. Seafood are still moving and kicking. There are things i have never seen before and the color of the seafood are so vibrant and beautiful.















The filleting of this enormous beast is such an artistry and skill. The level of  technique and precision is amazing. They know just where to cut and with each stroke of the massive knife there is a perfectly piece of tuna.   


It doesn't get fresher than this right next door fresh chirashi bowl.
