What is your favorite ingredient to work with?

What is your guiding principle in life?
My principle is to always keep learning—learning new things, trying new ideas, staying creative, and being passionate about what I do.
What is your dream as a chef?
My dream is to one day open a restaurant with a carefully curated menu—just a few dishes, including some classics and some of my personal favorites—each executed to perfection and truly the best they can be.
