  • Kenneth quit his corporate job and started his own private home dining experience @The Mixtape Chef with his wife Laureen. Their menu is largely inspired by Koji, a fermentation powerhouse that alleviates multiple ingredients. We follow Kenneth around for a day to show you what goes into the daily routine of a private home dining chef.

    wow. love the honesty of this video that really captures how down-to-earth Kenneth and Laureen are. what they've built up is made of blood and sweat, drop by drop. i mean, even as simply as the house smelling of charsiew - we're just hearing it as a word "traumatising" but to live it out is really something else. the cleaning, the work - before, after, during, the financial uncertainty - just mad respect for someone who believes in their craft to this extent and the partner who puts in her equal effort and trust unwaveringly

    Used to work as chef in Singapore myself, i can see from all the things Kenneth did, is very good, lots of stuff are handmade/homemade, even got their own farm which a lot of restaurants don't have. IMO, given the price point, for some it might feel expensive, but then..it's all efforts la, also like support local business.

      @@LasVegasEDM With that setup? it will definitely be heavy for a wallet for two (which is understandable due to their effort), its best if you'll be going there for 4 or 6 people to group dine or group date. But then again if you are going there for an intimate date I think both of you can save up for the price, its not as if you'll consistently go on diner dates there

    I really love the honesty of the couple, they are aware they are operating at a disadvantage compared to how standard restos/food joint works but tries their best in giving quality (amazing how he still have the time to culture his own koji and day age his meats despite their limited capacity). I cant imagine if they are able to take dining functions 6 days a week, thats crazy!

      @Anirudh K It's really profitable, but not really scalable. Profitable in terms of the returns on investment that I made (really small, something like USD10K, which I recovered in some 6 months) and profitable in terms of how much could I achieve monthly (more than what I would achieve being a sous-chef or something in a restaurant in town). But the whole business is completely dependent on myself, so I don't see a chance of growing ....
