I don't know if today is my day, or just not my day.Good thing is that I manage to finish the exec floor food, within the limited time. By myself.
Bad thing is that, when I was trying to do the plating for the curry puff ( I spend like the whole bloody night thinking, because my chef wants something new and refreshing), people laughed at me. I arranged the curry puffs nicely on the plate in a circular direction.
Then I asked, 'Can I put carrot in the middle?' John replied, 'HUH? Want put what?' I said, 'Carrot. Can or not?' They laughed. Speaking in cantonese which I can hardly understand. But sure was saying things like what put carrot later carrot don't-know become what. John said, 'Put paper then put some fried beehoon can already what.'
It was a immediate smack into my face. I swear. Though I'm just a trainee, but I can think for myself. Put paper, beehoon, chilli padi, curry leaf, so where's the difference? It's like playing so safe. And when I said I wanted to put carrot, anyone cared to ask, what type of carrot, how you gonna prepare the carrot? No. They laughed immediately, thinking it's stupid. You think I so stupid put raw carrot there, then got heating lamp then let the lamp heat until the carrot nua mehs? Please lor.
My idea was to take the shredded carrot, deep fry it till like crispy hard, kind of thing. At least, a little orange on the plate you see.
It's a white plate. The folded paper is black and white. Beehoon is white. Chilli Padi, red. Curry leafs, green. Curry puff, golden brown. Ain't it boring?
If it was my idea. Plate, white. Bottom I use bamboo leaf instead of paper, so green. Fried carrot instead of beehoon, orange. Chilli padi, red. Curry leaf, another shade of green. Curry Puff, golden brown. Isn't it a little more refreshing to the eyes, with the carrot?
Problem is, people don't see the way I see things. They don't bother to understand why I want to do things that way. Bottom line, they think I'm a trainee. I'm not experienced. I simply make a mess out of everything.
People, just wait alright. Your smack, I'll return it to you. With a hundred time stronger strength. I prove it to you, not with my words and laughter like how you did. I prove it to you with an invitation to sit in my restaurant to eat.
Even if I'm going into pastry and baking. My restaurant would still have hot food, savouries main course etc.
I wouldn't put myself at your level of doing things, it just bring me down. If forever staying on the safe side. I would say, I'm sorry, you ain't going anywhere.
BASTARDS!
