Ongoing into F&B

As his father worked as a chef, Thomas grew up watching him cook and decided to give F&B a shot He says, “F&B is in my blood. When I started, I told my friends that I’m not selling the food; I’m selling the culture. I wanted to preserve the taste of comfort food.”

Thomas is serious about learning the ropes from his father. “I didn’t want to take a high risk to join F&B. I’ve not done it before and I lack experience in this line,” he says.

He explains, “Our concept is very simple. We sell good food, quality ingredients. We provide a wide range of tasty menus that is at a reasonable price.”
