Back in 1995 (if i'm not mistaken), I remember watching Tom Cruise's movie "Cocktails" and his bar was named "Cocktails & Dreams". At that time I was a very poor student struggling to make ends meet in The Land of Four Seasons.
I was waiting at the table of a restaurant somewhere (I forgot the name of the place) in the corner of London and just for the fun of it, was picturing myself running one of my own. Together with Bro Chef, dreams became reality.
The regular question I got from people is "tak nak buka branch lagi satu?"
The reply would be a simple ...InsyaAllah.
Actually the vision is a lot further than just a branch. It would be nice to set up a place at Damansara area, also a Minang set up. Then the third one will be a diverse into Chinese-Thai cuisine, a nice restaurant with wooden floors plus a complete stainless steel kitchen (hehehh).
Then... we can start franchising ...and then venture into the Middle East !
Dreams are freeeee... you can dream whatever you want. So just keep on dreaming!
Motivational guru will always repeat this line, "what the mind can conceive, the body can achieve".
Just remember that it all starts with just a dream !

Quick Updates
When I started Journey Continues, I plan to write a lot more stuff about food and daily running of the restaurant. But... well... I will just write anything that flash through the mind ok ?
(If you want to read about daily running of the country, go elsewhere ok ! I am feeling nausea even at the mention of it, what more to blog about it!)
Anyway, may I welcome the new readers, especially my two siblings who are silent readers.
If you must know, what I've been doing for the past two months, it's pretty routine but interesting. We've got an overwhelming response on our corporate catering and I've been emailing & faxing quotation, invoicing and all the admin stuff... Brother Chef took care of the operation. In short, we have a good team running the business and it's definitely booming.
I must thank you, my readers, for recommending us by just through words of mouth. We've positioned ourselves well and has been our clients' preferred private corporate caterers !
There's no shortcut to success. Never ever. It is all pure hard work. Sometimes you may get to the top through shortcuts, potong queue etc but believe me, it will NOT last long cos there is no barakah.
I've gotta go now. My favourite prog on AFC has started. If you're interested in food business, you should watch how they started it all at "Opening Soon" on 703 at 11.30pm!
Tara!
