Classification:  Restaurant

      We all have moments in our lives that gives us a special and enduring commitment.

     Being in the food business is a very challenging commitment. One has to be ever vigilant towards what diners want and what they enjoy to eat. Also equally important is the affordability of the food without sacrificing quality and taste.  Another premium to consider is how to maintain impeccable cleanliness inside a restaurant.  Cleanliness is the prime factor to achieve the desired ambiance and this separates one restaurant to another. 

     Being a chemical engineer by profession, I may seem a square peg in a round hole but I would like to believe that I was fated to be in the food business both by design and genes.  My father is a champion cook and I must have caught the passion from him. By design, I mean, God must have fitted me in this that I do now for a purpose.

     Mandarin Hotel and Restaurant which I have managed since 1983 is my second home and second family, but my commitment in it is even stronger at

times because I feel that the obligation is more exciting.  I am practically “hands on” everything from marketing to ensure quality ingredients to banking to make sure there would be no future financial glitzes up to maintenance so as to minimize cost.

     I make use of the formal and strict “employer-employee” relationship for a management style.  I feel that only when there is a definite parameter defining the boundary between employees and the employer could I impose the discipline highly needed in the food business.

     I wish to elevate all my employees to a level at par to a professional so they would not feel just a blue-collar worker. Maybe, this way they would give their best in their work because I always hammer in them the dignity of their work. And that they must be friendly, accommodating and service-oriented as this is what is the core at the food business, the diner must be made comfortable while eating.

     One comes to Mandarin Restaurant to eat and be treated like a king.
