2 - The Chef

"Describe a family member"
   

  Cooking is a loved thing in my family. Every member of the family loves and enjoys eating. Anyway, who is not fond of eating? You can’t have food without a chef. That’s where my dad comes in… He is the chef not only in our family but also to others. He has been a chef for almost twenty- one years. My dad had worked in Oman for four years, in Saudi Arabia for two years and almost ten years in Dubai. Last January 2013, he decided to stay here in our country for good. He is now working as a Chef de Partie at Solaire Resort and Casino located near Mall of Asia in Pasay City. Solaire Resort and Casino is the ultimate integrated resort in the Philippines and one of the world’s greatest as well! He can make Western cuisine, Asian cuisine, Oriental cuisine and Japanese cuisine. He likes cooking so much. He always makes something special in our dining room during his day off. It is really delicious! Anything you want he can make it!

     Being a chef is not an easy career. It is a very tough job. My dad is a very hardworking man. He had to work in the heat of the kitchen for many hours, but I didn’t hear him complaining because I know that cooking is his passion. Actually, he did not study culinary arts, only he have is an experience. No theories, no formula, no recipe, no matter how well written, can take the place of experience.

     He decided to stay here for good. We convinced him to stay here with us. So many years that we’re apart and it was really a sacrifice from all of us. All he wants is all of us his children to go to college and finish our studies. Now that my two older sisters had graduated from college and now they have their own job, my dad was convinced to stay here with us. I promise him that I want to succeed not just for myself but also for him. I want to finish my college for my future and for my family.

     Did you know the person in my life that makes me, my two sisters and my mom smile? That one lucky guy is my dad! He is not only an excellent cook but also he makes time to keep us happy and feeling loved. My dad is funny too especially when he cracked jokes, but sometimes his jokes were corny. That’s why our life is full of joy and laughter when he is around. He is a special dad because he is a cool dad. For me, he is the best father and chef in the world!
