A
young girl who provides cooking services to the wedding parties of workers in
Bien Hoa city has finished runner-up in the Golden Spoon contest. She is Chef Ngoc Nghia and is responsible for a new
column named “Kitchen secret” in Marketing World magazine.
One
of the biggest companies in the jewelry industry also decided to ask this young
chef to cook for three important parties. They normally use the services of
5-star restaurants. The business made the decision after sampling her dishes in
a charity event named “Ambassador of small Vietnamese products, Summer Camp”.
Culinary
expert Suong Thi Bui says, “The most important thing is Ms Nghia’s passion for
her career. This plus her creativity and non-stop effort has brought success
which is thoroughly deserved”. Ms Suong also said that while other teams came
to the contest with a hundred of kilograms of luggage, equipment and numerous
colleagues and friends to support them, Ms Nghia drove her motorbike alone
between Saigon and Bien Hoa with kitchen tools such as utensils, pots and pans
etc… tied onto her motorbike. She had so
much stuff on her motorbike that she caught her foot in the wheel and was
limping badly when she arrived. However,
such was her determination that she still managed to compete with other teams. She eventually finished in second place. Her
efforts and spirit are extremely commendable.
In
the Ambassador of tiny Vietnamese products, Summer Camp competition, Ms Nghia
volunteered to buy her own ticket and take the bus to the event, and also supported
the children of Truong Sa delegation. She showed them how to cook simple dishes
and helped them to cut cakes. In addition she shared knowledge about food
before returning home overnight. She smiled and said “It is fine for me, I am
used to working hard, so I will do whatever I can to help”
Born
into a family with a tradition of providing cooking services for wedding
parties, Ms Nghia was imbued with the love of cooking from very early. After
graduating from cooking school, Ms Nghia started to work in Tien Loc restaurant
in Dong Nai province, following a professional wedding party cooking career.
Currently,
Ms Nghia works in the kitchen for 12 hours per day and is responsible for
everything. She said, "I like to cook, I love to work and I like to see
other people happily enjoying my food. Besides, I also have enough money to be
able to travel in order to learn new recipes and to increase my skill”
From this week, Ms Nghia will officially
work on a new column of Marketing World magazine to share her “secret” recipes
with everyone.
