“It was something I have always been waiting for, it’s a dream come true!”
Pear had many dreams growing up. She wanted to be a medical doctor so she could provide medical care for her parents when they get old and frail.
During her uni years, Pear found a part time job at an ice-cream parlour. It was where she learnt to mix and make every flavour of ice cream sold in the shop. Pear said the opportunity and experience of working there was priceless. It led her to believe strongly that she could contribute to success of the family restaurant business.
“When I was just a student, I used to come and dine at this restaurant and used to love it, I love everything about it, the décor, the ambience, the food style, everything!”
For Pear, this restaurant is not just simply a family business where everyone takes care of duties. It’s a place where she gets to experiment her creativity and craftsmanship in desserts making to which she loves so much.
