I come from a beautiful town in Nepal; I’m married and have two amazing boys. I’ve been a chef for most of my life, working across different countries. Each place that I worked has helped shape the chef I have become. Food is what I know best, and the kitchen is where I am happiest.
When I’m not cooking, you can find me in the gym, playing cricket, or watching football. One day I hope to own my own restaurant specializing in Asian food that gives customers authentic and unique flavors.
List a few of your favorite foods or cooking styles.
With food I have a few. I love Sushi, Yaki Mesi, Kung Pao Seafood, Chicken Gyoza, Nepali Momo and Dosa. For cooking styles, I enjoy the Chinese hot range, Tapenyaki, Japanese sushi, and open fire grill.
When you're not working, do you cook? If yes, what would be your signature dish if you had to cook for friends at home?
I cook all the time! My signature dish if I were hosting friends would be Mi Goreng and Yakitori.
If you could choose an animal to represent you, which would it be and why?
I would be an Eagle. They have vision, they are fearless, tenacious, highflyers. And they never eat dead meat, which is what differentiates them from other birds. They also nurture their younger ones and possess vitality.
What's your preferred beverage (alcoholic/non-alcoholic)?
My preferred alcoholic beverage would be a gin and tonic with a dash of pepper and cucumber. For a non-alcoholic drink, I love green tea.
What kind of music do you like to listen to?
I love music from the 90s. I'm currently listening to A. R. Rahman
Do you like travelling? Where is the best place you have ever been to and where would you still like to visit?
I love travelling. The best place I've been to so far is Pokhara in Nepal.
I still want to go to Paris.
If you were going to be stuck on a desert island for a year, what three things would you take with you?
I would take an umbrella, sunscreen, and a sunbed.
