So... as I mentioned briefly on the previous post. As of January 31st I finished Amber restaurant. After spending over 2 months with lots of thought, I came to the conclusion that I don't think this is right opportunity for me to work at Amber next 15 months. So as of the end of my probation period January 31st, I finished Amber. Even a short period of time, I'd like to say thank you to chef Richard Ekkebus, the rest of the team at Amber and also all the people I met at Landmark mandarin oriental hotel. I wish you the best luck!!
Now.... Coi, then Amber, I had two short term jobs unfortunately. This is definitely the toughest time I ever have to find my job. I'm looking for one right job opportunity. And I admit it's not simple, I care every single aspects of the restaurant. What makes "right" job opportunity? It's the combination of everything, job duty, style of cuisine, people, kitchen, mentality, cleanness, organization, communication and... guess just like the relationship, 'chemistry' between the restaurant and myself.
When I was in the U.S., I was always looking for my job nationwide. I never get the chance to work, but whenever I was looking for my job, I looked up all the restaurant in Boston, Philadelphia, DC, Miami, Seattle, San Diego, Portland.... all over the U.S and sometimes Canada. Now 2012... I'm looking for my job, right opportunity where I can take myself to next level as a culinary professional... This time I'll go ANYWHERE on this planet to get the job what I've been looking for since RM seafood..... this is called CJWDT'12 Gastro'N'omad tour.
Yesterday I just arrived at Madrid, Spain. This'll be the starting point of my Gastronomic nomad tour. Although I'm thinking 4,5 routes, I DON'T set the next destination yet. Whenever the job arise, I just go, Bali, Capetown, Rio, Oakland, London, Stockholm, Brussels.... Anywhere on this planet to seek and destroy my right job!
It surly sounds silly and crazy but this is something I CAN do and not many people can. Well, I must say I can only do this right NOW just until I move back to Australia on 2016/17, which mean I can only vagabonding next 4-5 years. I must DO it now or never be possible! I'll see where this gonna end, hopefully not in the U.S. or Australia.... To achieve my goal, open P.S.I. in Australia on 2018, my Gastromancing saga continues >>Labels: CJWDT'12
