Women dress to impress, aren't they? It is actually applicable to food, too. Basic and easy food like chicken or fish can be special if it is adorned with simple things like garnish or edible flower.
Are the food for hot guys supposed to be expensive?
They are not. I personally love to cook steak as my "dating food" because it is something we don't eat daily. All Indonesian food can be FHHG as well if we make it special, like making it presentable or fushion-style. On previous "Food For Hot Guys" episodes, I cooked several traditional food like asinan Betawi (vinegared fruit soup from Betawi) and beef gulai.
You said that you have always aspired to be chef since childhood. Why did you want to become a chef since young?
I was born from a family with strong F&B background. My family used to have restaurants in Jakarta that reached 40 outlets on their peak. My speciality was french cuisine during training, but I learned traditional food as well from my grandmother. She is Padangnese and really loves to cook.
One last question, dating dinner at restaurant or at home?
At home, definitely. It is more economical (laugh).
