Summary
Growing up helping my hawker parents at their chicken rice stall, I developed a passion for cooking and honed my knife and customer communication skills. This experience sparked my interest in culinary arts, especially Italian cuisine. I love pasta and am dedicated to creating delicious dishes that combine tradition and creativity.
