Andre Chiang, who grew up next to Shilin Night Market and graduated from freshwater commercial catering, is 39 years old and has become one of the top restaurants in the world.
At the beginning of June, his Singaporean restaurant "Andre Restaurant" (called André in French in Andre Chiang) was selected as one of the top 50 restaurants in the world for the third year in a row, and was also recommended by The New York Times as one of the "world 10 restaurants worth tasting by plane".
When Andre Chiang was born in his own country and jumped onto the international stage, people always talked about them in an inspiring tone. His story is that he can shine on the world stage and become an international brand. He doesn't need to be a genius or a relationship background.
Singapore in early May was not as hot and humid as it is now. Chen, 3 1 year-old, is ready to enter the customs. The backpack is filled with grandma's face plate and Three Gorges blue dye, which is a gift for the entrepreneurial tutor.
This is Chen's first visit to Singapore, and he will study with him for three days. He was so nervous that he stayed up all night.
I studied advertising design and visual communication. Chen Yu worked in a printing company, and also engaged in insurance business and magazine photography. He likes cooking and photography. Eight months ago, he founded a Facebook fan page of "Men's Kitchen 1+ 1". Now, 10000 fans have shared more than 100 recipes.
"Boys like me can cook, and I hope everyone can cook and eat healthily," Chen said. He talks like a cautious big boy, but after signing up, he cut his hair short and was a little crazy and confident. "If you really have a chance to enter the chef's kitchen, your hair can't be too long. 」
Many of the applicants are professional chefs, and many of them have catering backgrounds. However, what Andre Chiang wants to teach is not cooking, but a set of secrets from the inside out, which explains why chef Andre is a "world-class" martial arts.
This is a three-day solid course, from 9: 30 am, 10: 00 am to 1 1: 00 pm, and the last day to nearly 2: 00 am. Including when Andre Chiang entered the kitchen, Chen Yu followed closely, and chef Andre had no reservations about what he wanted to ask and see.
Andre restaurant in Singapore at 9 am is very quiet. The soft morning light reflected the white outer wall with "Andre" written on it, and the transplanted olive tree reminded Andre Chiang of his time in South France.
This is the peace before the battle.
