Went to nouri to celebrate my wife's birthday today. As a chef myself i would like to commend nouri for fully deserving of the star. Apart from the extensive course of appetizers mains deserts included, the level of professionalism the chef and staff showed was remarkable. Floor staff were natural and quick to break the ice. Awesome introduction to all the food served. Quick on the feet and they made sure every table gets the same treatment. Bear in mind they were full for dinner when i was there. The food was delicious, inspiring and exciting. Altho i felt the lamb tartare could be seasoned better, the crab was a bomb. I could have eaten 5 plates of it. The grouper was perfectly cooked. The lamb was pink to pink. What made my day was when i spotted a slab of lamb being rare instead of m.rare. the staff who is also the lady in the video seth lui posted signing off invoices changed the lamb and made sure m.rare slices were served. That lady deserves an apron in any kitchen. Chef you are lucky to have such a talented lady ! She was working in the grilling station today when i was there. Exceptional precision and speed. The pass was naturally smooth and professional as the chef was coordinating. Green shirt sous chef who was handling scallops and sauces was also on another level. Amazing work done there i can see her dedication to make sure every thing goes well. The seviche was a winner =). Simply amazing considering the price. You get crab, scallops, lamb or beef, wild fish, 2 deserts, tons of appetizers and free flow of amazing sour dough. Love it.
They came in at 8 and didnt leave until 11+ staff got out within an hour of customers leaving. 10/10.
Making sure the staff leave an hour after the customers is God dam amazing
Cooks ain't get there till 10 pretty good shift 11 hours not bad at all
Of course he ready lost all his hairs......so now, he must be quiet or is gonna lost the brain too.
That’s nothing. Do research on Japanese restaurants and top chefs. Those guys blow anyone else out of the water with dedication and service. Nouri does Japanese style omakase.
@@ArashiKageTaro wow, what a beatiful life.......
This video is Gordon Ramsay's therapy video 🤣
Dilanga Thalpegama ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
People need to watch more Gordon Ramsay, before leaving comments like these.
@@markotodorovic7013 The guy acts like he was traumatized and acts like a lunatic with his staff.
I like this video a lot. It shows that a starred kitchen can be positive and empowering each other. It is all about team effort. It doesn't show all those dramatic, always-angry exec. chefs. Everyone working in restaurants pressure themselves enough. If you like or love what you're doing, you would want to do a good job so customers would love the whole experience, and the pressure from that is already too much.
They are all smiling while working. That's the stuff
I left the industry as I was exhausted with those types.
Samuele Boglioni yeah they are also being video taped. Highly doubt they are always so “happy”
@@animaladam5 I don't think that they're always happy and smiling, but a kitchen is actually a very playful and teasing environment. I'm still starting out in the industry and as much as the pressure is, there are so many hilarious people in it. Lots of people tend to do or say random stuff too, I think it helps us all cope with how tired we are from standing and preparing food at least 8 to 10 hours everyday.
I work in this area. You have to look good, open your eyes. they only work with 5 tables. Another restaurant has more than 20 tables. working with reservations and only 5 tables is not that complicated. Some work without reservations and all customers fall at once. That in Argentina is called "dog" as if a dog were about to attack or bark at you. It makes you faster, it accelerates you and as we say in Argentina you "emperra"
I love his voice. He seems so calm, collected, and never in a hurry.
yar! He made Gordon Ramsay looks like a barbarian.
Like someone we know Ramsey!
He is the most gentle head chef I ever seen
İ was searching that comment 😂
The assembling station for the food was literally in the middle of the dining room so obviously he can't yell like Ramsey lol
There is no intimidation, there is no hurry, there is no yelling in the kitchen. calm down, relax and stay focused. extraordinary
that s why they got only one star
when a restaurant run for a 3 star michelin, we dont talk about a 9-17 job that has to be done, we talk about passion, stress, art, achievement, elitism. Not a bunch of talentless guys that just paid for high level ingredients, decoration and hope they ll get some star in return.
@@alexleon5377 I found the keyboard warrior
alex LEON and you own a 3 michelin starred restaurant I presume?
Large part due to being reservation only. You have the time to prepare.
“This place wasn’t born to win awards....” Next clip is a chair being moved precisely using a fine measuring tool for perfection.😂
Is that for winning an award?
Stick to Mcd why don't you!
EVERYTHING IS MOVED WHILE USING A MEASURING TAPE - CUTLERY, PLATES, CHAIRS SO THAT EVERYTHING'S PRECISE AND NEAT!
@@mixed12 1st Michelin star is given for the food (quality of ingredients and final product presentation/taste), the 2nd is given for the service and ambiance (attention to detail and quality of servers) and the 3rd is given to unique restaurants that just blow everyone else in the same category out of the water. After your 2nd star you go from offence to defence to retain the stars until you're given the 3rd one for consistency and dedication.

@@Axelrun1994 Well you are kinda right(i worked in a three star restaurant in switzerland).
Everything you named will taken as a critic point, is it for one two or three stars.
@@Axelrun1994 and that level of perfectionism with simetry is really boring and annoying
Never thought watching a Michelin-starred chef at work would be this heartwarming, this peaceful...
Beautiful ❤️
Awesome production, this is possibly the best Singaporean food video production i've seen on youtube to date. Bravo! Hope to see more in future!
5:21 "She is tough to please, this one" was the best moment in this video :-) . All the best chef !!
Amazing, it look like the battlefield in kitchen. I love the air of working, the steak, fish ... So beautiful!
This is just amazing....
When chef explains the idea of this restaurant, i almost got into tears.
Accepting differences and connecting them with what they can do the best, food.
And this is michelin starred restaurant.
Food, people, passion, and happiness
Maybe this is how it is supposed to be.
No ego no anger no pretention, no nothing with chef treating his team as they are his own family.
So warm.
So you're telling me that there's no screaming, shouting happening in this kitchen ! 🤣🤣
Sky they’re professionals , not jokers
@@mvzv3913 but u sti need to communicate in the kitchen. And it's not like your gonna walk to the person to talk to him right?
Armistice working in an open kitchen like that doesn’t require screaming or talking loudly. Most of the them have a lot experience already and don’t have to verbally communicate where they are. Most open kitchens are quiet and rarely yelling. It’s more they’ll pick on you the whole service
@@armistice2358 dont believe what u see on tv. Everybody has a different job & they do it with focus. A real kitchen with everyday workers have pretty good sense on the whereabouts of those around them so they dont need to communicate much. A great kitchen is one where u only hear the sounds of cooking & plates touching metal.
@@mvzv3913 bullshit...ive worked in 1 to 5 stars kitchen and i will tell you screaming is essential..when its on tv these people are faking it
This video shows how they have a positive working environment, no pressure at all. I feel like i can work here and smile all day
nahh u got a lot of work to do, need to be concentrated. but if u can hold an inner smile over time thats great. as well as its a day while tv is there so its a little bit more hectic i can imagine while no tv is there
Yeah no pressure at all right until nobody is motivated anymore
This playlist is just awesome. Keep it on please
Everything about this restaurant is beautiful - the concept, the kitchen atmosphere, the sight of so many women in that kitchen, the chef's quiet command and respect for his cooks, the staff meal. Thank you for sharing and for documenting this rare BOH scene.
The staff meal... my favourite moment.... Thank you for sharing
I like how relax the chef is but still clear to his employees .they work good together without crazy stress🙂👍👍
This is a level of professionalism only a few will achieve. It's just incredible to watch. Feels almost like being a witness of some rituals.
Love the video! Would love to try the food out. Chef seems like a cool person to work for.
Great team and full of passion
Amazing, hope the place and crew are doing well in these trying times.
6:26 whatcha looking at man
Haha
nice
busted
GOD say
To work in the kitchen like this, you have be passion and creative. A lot of hard work.
Brilliant 💜
The best tasting foods comes from great kitchen teamwork with happiness & care from it's master chef.
Keep up the good work guys!
Wow can’t wait to go there!
I always enjoy the kind of videos like this, start the restaurant in the morning, enjoy the process 'till night comes and end it with smiles and great results, i always love the culinary world, i hope that sometime i will have my own restaurant.
Always success for you, your business and this channel 👍☺👍
I love his respect towards his team. Incredible. Not every time is it about money.
My eyes have just been blessed.
The tranquility with which they work is incredible, here in my country we work under a strong price!
Great chef so calm in control
Great job well done
This is why there are bad, good and the best restaurants. It’s all about the owners approach to his staff and that reflects to his customers. Well done.
food brings people together!
It's an amazing video. I like it very much
I find passionate people really inspiring
Wonderful
WOW DILICIOUS!
Very humble 👍
Teamwork is at the highest level, it is good to look at work process
Hope you will make more content like this the #24hours. Kudos to this channel.
Good leadership is needed in this world. I can relate to him, treat people well, be there for them; they will deliver your message to the next..
Cool!
Thanks for that beautiful documentary. i am hungry now.
Each dish is like a painting honestly. Very cool
Done at midnight; 2 to 3 more hours to unwind and back up at 8am. The restaurant life is tough. Those dreaming to own a restaurant are best to just dream; unless they're willing to sacrifice a lot to be successful.
That because most viewers and commentors have romanticized this video without considering the realities of actually operating and working at the restaurant.
by the sound of his voice, you already know what he's cooked up is masterful art
This is like watching an amazing magic trick in progress :D Great stuff seems like a amazing resturant :)
This is an art studio not a restaurant, I mean basically for someone that have passion in cooking, food is art, and your restaurant is your art studio
- - - One European experienced owner having direct control on all activities - - - and he is physically present every day from 9 am to 12 midnight - - - a modest outlet - - - no strict uniform for production and service staff - - - all the hands are not experienced, from different Asian countries - - - but being continuously trained on job - - - wining accolades - - - and doing good business - - -
A Million thumbs up for that kitchen
I always said that running a restaurant is one of the jobs that requires a lot of time, dedication and especially passion. Otherwise, I cannot understand why one would work from 9am to midnight.
If cooking is your life you can understand why we work a lot 🙏
@@peterszucs4495 Yes I probably cannot identify other than for the reasons I've stated. I wonder how one would balance their family time, time with kids, friendships, exercise and the like with that kind of schedule
@@jbl2270 That's why people suddenly drop dead because of stroke at 37 years of age. It's unnatural and unhealthy to work such long hours.
@@asael4491 lol :D
@@jbl2270 Really there isn't much balance. My dad is a head chef and the he gets no time off. He's constantly checking on the stock for the next day as well as the consistency of dishes/new dishes. That's why we rarely have any time to spend as a family. It's quite a lonely life.
Wow ! Looks so calm and civilised. I've done 20+ years in the kitchen, to be honest with regret. Now if I worked in an environment like this, would be great. Any work out there ?
Beautiful
First awarded michelin star restaurant that don't serve caviar. Respect!!!
Precision 🥂
There is so much work effort, passion and unity in this video. It's beyond cooking or operating a 5 star service. Very inspiring. 💯🔥
Wish my kitchen was the same as this one, haha! I swear my head chef has this aura around him that devoid everyone of happiness.
Move to a different place brother ! Happiness is the most important factor in life !
Leav .
Wow!!
Man I cannot wait til I get to eat foam for the first time! I see it everywhere on every Michelin Star video
1st? Great content as always!
0:12 Chef keeps his staff locked in behind the bar over night =)
😀
hahahahaa
There's always a staff entrance and main entrance separately!FYI
I bet the staff meal is even better than anything I have ever eaten.
Wow cooking, big kitchen,
This looks like a fantastic place to work.
This is Quality in the Culinary Industry
It's restaurants like this that I dream to work for, that's why I practice everyday try to better myself so I can give and get knowledge to build a great career with the team and restaurant
This is the nicest Michelin star restaurant I've ever seen
amazing story and point of view. kudos! #makanzigu
that's 15 hours
You got no life apart from kitchen. You really have to love it. I cant imagine this.
You get days off that make up for it - working in the kitchen is definitely more passion than anything else.
@@TheSublimeLifestyle In almost all cases in a kitchen, its 1 day off. And ive worked in some where we got no days off for that week
Connor Boulton
I made it a priority to get two days off. Tuesday and Wednesday. I started with 1 day off and I found my life strictly revolving around the kitchen.
@Joel Villarreal about average for finer restaurants
The mentality of starred kitchens here in the U.K. And Europe is so different to Us and Canada, they always seem less tense and regimented to what to im used to.interesting to see
Got a mcdonalds ad before this
They use Filipino brine ♥️♥️♥️😍😍😍
Stupid question but what kind of gas do the chefs use in the torch? I would think you could possibly change the flavor from i
Extraordinary! But still I would need 3 dishes from there to be full lol.
"If you are doing good work then good things are going to happen"
Owning and working in a restaurant like this would be a wonderful learning experience.
Mr. Phillips
Canada
I agree
Mr. Murphy

BEST MEAL I ATE THIS YEAR YEAH
Anyone know why the cook used 2 torches instead of 1 on the peppers? Was that to just speed up the process?
I love how his whole team eats lunch together.
Well it's definitely there to bring affluent people together. Actually the more I think about it the more ironic the contrast between the philosophy of the restaurant and the exclusivity of the star seems
I wonder what it's like to cook with this kind of precision, get 1 Michelin star, and find out a hawker in the same city, selling Chicken and rice in a bowl for less than $2, also has 1 Michelin Star.
Who's that? 🤔
@@brownbeardontcare Singapore's Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle
Lol is this a documentary now reference?
Marco p white is no longer impressed with Michelin for this reason..and look how hard and long these ppl work.to compete with fast food now..joke.
@@nogoglobal Well if you look at the star ratings, one star just means that it's "a very good restaurant", which basically means that if the judges are even somewhat pleased you'll probably get a star. Three stars on the other hand pretty much means the place exhibits perfection with everything from the quality of the food to how the soap is displayed in the bathroom. Not to take away from the hard work, but it seems that a 1 star rating is pretty basic in the food service industry.
Im soo proud i hear a filipino brined mango at this michelin star restaurant..
I can see from this video...the people had been so much passion and build the great collaboration...happy in their work....its amazing...
I have a cousin who has this weird gift..it only takes her to eat the dish twice on seperate occassions,then she knows how to make the dish,well,almost..while she eats,she writes down the possible ingredients..then copies it at home..then she always makes this quirky smile and says things like, i can make this 75% less than the cost in the resto..or her best one i've heard, you're paying for presentation,then the taste and you'll go hungry again when you look at the bill..
I wanna work here, it looks amazing
For people that go *Oh my, Oh dear, Precious how calm and silent* well you're right this is just how this particular Restaurant handles it. There's plenty of Videos of other Michelin Starred Restaurants and each handles their Kitchen differently. Also, try to differentiate an Open Kitchen or not, don't for no reason compliment an open Kitchen Sushi restaurant for not screaming while preparing their dish. Each has their own characters
The day after getting a star is rough...so rough
I'm sure there was a ton of drinking, for all of the staff. Being hungover in a hot kitchen is no fun. In addition - he is right - A lot of chefs don't want that attention - they are overrun with bookings and may not have the capacity to facilitate those needs. Lastly, once a restaurant has a star - the guests expect, even demand, more from them. Their expectations are higher and therefore it is easier for the restaurant to underwhelm because the bar in their mind is set so high before they even walk in the door.
Cameron Roszkowski wow. i honestly didnt think of it that way, underrated comment
@@cameronroszkowski8309 pretty exciting right?
They spend more time aligning and polishing things then cooking 👍
this reminds me of Japanese drama, Grand Maison Tokyo.
I think i just felt in love
Some of those meals look like artwork. Beautiful ❤️
I work in this area. You have to look good, open your eyes. they only work with 5 tables. Another restaurant has more than 20 tables. working with reservations and only 5 tables is not that complicated. Some work without reservations and all customers fall at once. That in Argentina is called "dog" as if a dog were about to attack or bark at you. It makes you faster, it accelerates you and as we say in Argentina you "emperra"
No yelling. No cursing. Just passion.
Their able to serve good food without shouting to each other in the kitchen. Never tought it could be done 😂
Wow I wish I had enough money to eat a plate like that . It looks delicious
i love the feeling i had watching this❤, i have my own place of sushi and i want to go and work there
Culture is more than food, brah. A lot more.
