    Hi this Sally here , Chef is my ex boss.
    I was his assistant for about nearly 10 years he treated me more like a friend not a staff. l thank him for allowing me to travel with him to his show around Asian and Europe , l have learn alot from him .
    We still keep touch , chef Wan is my best boss we still keep touch, from time to time he ajar me makan at his house or his restaurant not only makan he is so generous and compassion he some time gave ang pau too.
    He work very fast and got a quick tongue 😅 some time get himself in trouble.
    He didn't have hatred for any one. He can forgive any one easily.
    That's what l like about him .
    Take care chef .
    May u have good health, joy and lots of happiness ❤

    Wow! Just wow. The story is so inspiring. Went through a financial difficulties, and when I watched this, somehow it inspired me to be better and be tougher to rise up from the ashes. Life is tough, but we are tougher. I love the natural interaction of Deborah and making Chef Wan, open up his story. That is a good host skill. When I look at Deborah, it reminded me of ways Oprah Winfrey interviewing people. Thank you for sharing this beautiful interview.

    I have loved chef wan fir a long time. Since I was a little girl watching his cooking show when I was abt 10 yrs old.
    Mum and me always felt entertained by his antics n of course his mouth. Lol.
    Now I'm 54 yrs old lived in Perth.
    First thing I did when went to kl for holiday was to have dinner at his rest at Kl East Mall. Took a photo with his cut out at the front of his rest ,cause chef was not around. Bummer.
    Nevertheless he has always been my idol ,then ,now and forever.
    May Allah contd to shower you Chef Wan with all his bounties. Aamiin❤
