      Sounds Japanese English for me
      For example the pronunciation of first “s” of “season”, we Japanese doesn’t have sound of that “s” in our language. But we have “s” in “shit” for example.
      And that’s how he pronounced first s of season.
      I do understand what you are saying though

    • @iamkat5e
      @iamkat5e 5 років тому +3

      He sounds more Japanese than Singaporean imo. The way he says small words here and there: "her" is pronounced as "ha", "cooked" has an umlaut 'ü' sound, he pronounces the American "er" in "first", etc. etc.

    @matteoventura6344 5 років тому +70

    I'm the kind of italian that treasures our culinary tradition and culture and dies a little bit inside whenever I see it being butchered but this...
    This is a very impressive culinary experiment and I'd love to try it, maybe one day I'll actually get the chance. The chef also looks like a very nice and cool person

      @edoardovalli7674 5 років тому +13

      Matteo Ventura if you think about it, it really sums up what cuisine is for us Italians: passion, research, and high-quality local ingredients. Seeing a foreigner being so in love with our culture and struggling to export it in the better way possible to the other side of the globe makes me really proud.

    • @christodang
      @christodang 5 років тому +12

      I think that's the difference: butcher vs respect. I see lots of "fusion" restaurants that just slap together foods from different places without understanding the root or the cultures that are in each food, but I've also seen fusions where it makes sense and it describes that chef's particular journey.
      Food culture (like many cultures) is meant to change not stay static. As much as we'd like to think otherwise, we haven't been doing "the same thing" for hundreds of years, the recipes & techniques have been adapted, and have evolved, but the difference is understanding where the roots are.
