Say hello again to the Chef Next Door - Chef Jonas Ng!
Last week, my friends and I attended the season 2 launch of Chef Next Door at Le Jardin Restaurant in BGC!

The Group Entertainment together with Lifestyle Network
channel welcomes another feisty, hot character on the block
this July. Say hello to the Chef Next Door - Chef Jonas Ng.
Chef Jonas, head chef and owner of Huat Pot Hotpot Restaurant
in Greenhills and Le Jardin in Bonifacio Global City, takes us on a
culinary journey to the food industry by showing you the faces,
places, and stories behind the food industry that we are only
starting to discover.
He shares the easiest and most practical ways to cook
restaurant recipes, some tricks of the trade and chef hacks that
he has learned over ten years of working inside a high-pressure,
solution-oriented professional kitchen.

Each episode teaches viewers how to come up with restaurant quality output from modern urban limitation And just like in real-life kitchens, be prepared to see how Chef Jonas bounces back from realistic kitchen struggles like lack of time, space, and budget by doing his #chefninjamoves as he “MacGyver” his way to coming up with creative and informative solutions in every kitchen crisis he is thrown with.

During the event, we got to try some scrumptious treats that Chef Jonas himself loves!
Rillete de Porc Salad
