Kilo Under Pressure – where it all started…

Kilo Under Pressure – where it all started…

I sit here and think about ChillaxBBQ and read the comments and reviews from our clients with complete humble pride. Truly. You sort of never think that a Margate boy trained on allotments by his Mum and Grandparents, cooking for the Cub Scouts and Brownies, would one day be cooking for others and being asked to come back and cook again and again. It really is so very humbling to be in this space. Where did it start? I have to say it really did crystalize here; Kilo Under Pressure – where it all started… This amazing experience gave me such confidence to cook under pressure for others and I truly cannot thank Javier and Joshua enough for that.

This was THREE years ago.

This was a first.

This was a challenge and a half.

This was a life-changer.

This was Kilo Under Pressure.

So there was Kilo Under Pressure – where it all started… a fantastic memory that just popped in my head as I clean up my photos on my Mac. I can’t thank Javier and Josua enough, and I certainly cannot thank enough my friends that came this night and the other Pax that took a risk. It’s how ChillaxBBQ came about. with my BFF Ruthers. I would never have had the confidence to do really cook for others professionally if not for this experience. It’s true bucket list stuff this. I shit myself but came out stronger. I fucking loved every single minute, apart from the clean down after service at midnight, the low countertops, the burns, the cuts, the heat blah, blah, blah. What an experience. Hopefully, one day we get to cook for you too and you graze and – ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
