"In A World Of Round Holes, Be A Square Peg." Sydney Smith Came Up With That Phrase In A Lecture In 1804.
"In a world of round holes, be a square peg." Sydney Smith came up with that phrase in a lecture in 1804. How true it still rings over two centuries later. It's the little things that set us apart, from those who dream and those who want to leave a mark. I am one who wants to leave a mark with my #ModernCantonese styles. Me signing my name in both English and Traditional Chinese is one of those. #ChefApprenticeLife #yyc #yycfood #yyc #myphilosophy #philosophy #箴言 #captureyyc

There are days where I can't believe this is where I work. On this day three years ago, I started my post-@MasterChefCDA culinary journey at @CalgaryCoop. Today I am working at @Charbar_YYC, possibly one of the finest restos in #YYC. And tomorrow I will be cooking at @goldmedalplates Calgary with #TeamWorkshop (@workshopyyc) under Captain @chefkennyk. How far I have come from just a market clerk. Here's to many more days of glory ahead. Because #DoWhatYouLove, and the world will surprise you in amazing ways. See you tomorrow at GMP guys! I'm super pumped. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc (at charbar)
Spending my day off making curry and watching @torontofc's first ever home #mlscupplayoffs match on @tsn_official from #YYC. #ComeOnYouReds #TorontoTilIDie #MLS #tfclive #Chefapprenticelife #ChefApprenticesDayOff
Someday, I hope I can stand on that stage. Just like @ChefKennyK and all the chefs in that picture. #CareerGoals, yo. #TeamWorkshop #Chefapprenticelife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #f52grams #Jarrytype @goldmedalplates (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)
More #LateNightEats fun, this time with coconut milk, pandan extract and agar to make a version of the classic Southeast Asian multilayered dessert, which in Thai is called wun gati bai tuey (วุ้นกะทิใบเตย). The agar amount is right, and the sweetness is balanced with kaffir lime leaf and lemongrass. The only thing is that the layers are just a wee bit off. Oh well...next time. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #yycfood #yyc #AsianStyle #thaifood #masakanindonesia #dessert #coconut #pandan #jelly
