Working Experiences
Empire Hotel – Subang, Malaysia Jul 2019 – Present
Executive Chef
As Executive Chef of Empire Hotel, I led a team of ~40 kitchen associates and managed the operation of the kitchen
team for Empire Hotel with 200 rooms, 3 F&B outlets, 5 function room, one grand ballroom capacity of 400 pax.
A typical day of myself started at 9 in the morning which I will join the morning briefing with the management team to
discuss the key updates and highlights of the day. After the briefing, I will meet with smaller groups of my kitchen
staff to brief them our priorities for the day or over the weekends. I also spend one or two hours over the desk to
review and approve some pending POs ensuring it is not surpassing the approved budget while keeping the food
cost at ~30 to 32% in generally. I will also take some time to check on the Event Orders board for the upcoming lunch
buffet and follow up on the preparation work with my banquet chef for the weekend function. For some of the larger
or critical events, I may even visit our Receiving Department to perform quality check on the ingredients. Much of the
rest of the time is spent working directly with my kitchen staff, coordinating and supporting them during peak time
and most importantly managing the quality of the food being served and expediting the food service.
Berjaya Waterfront Hotel – Johor Bahru, Malaysia Jul 2018 – Feb 2019
Executive Chinese Chef
As Executive Chinese Chef at the Berjaya Waterfront Hotel, I was responsible for the Chinese Restaurant, as well
as managing the Chinese Banquet and Expo with the capacity of 2,000 pax under the Hotel.
During my tenure, I worked closely with my team to improve the sales of a loss-making restaurant by revamping the
kitchen operations to better produce quality foods, increase the speed of service and strict control on food cost.
Additionally, I have been heavily involved in the opening of the Chinese Restaurant of Berjaya Tioman Resort, such
as human resource planning & hiring, kitchen interior design, equipment planning & budgeting, as well as menu
design. As a result, we managed to set up the restaurant within the short period of 2 months.
One of my key achievements include having the great opportunity to serve YMM Sultan Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Ibni
Almarhum Sultan Iskandar in his private cruise.
