          "I’ve started to learn cooking from my mother since I was 8. Being the eldest of seven, I really had the mind of a 12-year-old. There was never enough money for food so I had to help my mom sell food at military baracks. When you come from a humble background, you learn to appreciate that food doesn’t just come by easily." - Chef Wan
