Interviews

So, I've staked out Marina Bay Sands for a few days but to no avail. I just don't take (common) SGrean answer of 'you wait, we'll call you'..... Anyway, in the end, I had 2 interviews lined up from some good French restaurants in SG, so I concentrated my efforts on these instead.

The first was a small sized place, the chef had very good training, and looking for someone to bring up the quality of desserts/pastry, at the same time imparting knowledge on cuisine. The second chef has been around in SG for a while, and knows the local market and how to work the clientele. It's a fairly successful restaurant, and I've eaten there before, and also at the last place he worked in, I like his food a lot. Both made offers, but I asked for a few days' grace to consider other applications.

Which was as well, cos' meanwhile, I sent a letter to Guy Savoy's restaurant in Paris, expressing my desire to join them, in Paris (I had to at least ask, right?) or in Singapore. Within 4 days, Paris replied and put me in touch with their general manager they sent here, who put me in touch with their exec chef who already arrived here, and I had the interview today.

Similar to other culinary interviews I had before, it's straightforward and open discussion, I talked about the food I produced, at school as well as at the 2 other restaurants I've worked at. In the end, an offer was made and of course I cannot decline!!

Looks like I got a job afterall!
