During your quick visit to Jakarta, have you found your favorite local food?
I just literally arrived last night (laugh). But I have tried sate (i.e skewered beef) and it is really delicious. It is like bite-sized version of barbecue.
There is a Spanish food myth that says "Spanish foods are all hot to the point they burn your tongue". Could you confirm this?
Well (laugh), I think public are still mistaken Spain for Mexico, and vice versa. Spanish and Mexican speak the same language and we share some culture. But it doesn't extend to all aspect, and food is one of them.
Spanish foods are not that spicy, if you put it in Asian standard. Even the spiciest like chorizo is still harmless. So yeah, burrito and enchiladas are not from Spain, they are Mexican (laugh).
During you 15 years experience in kitchen and culinary business, could you tell us your most unforgertable experience? And what's your next plan?
When my restaurant was listed in one-star Michelin. It is even still unbelievable for me. And of course, when my guests are satisfied with Chiron's service and foods.
Making Chiron's guests satisfied and loyal, that's my plan.
