On January 8, 2009, I left America for a three-month stage (culinary internship) at l'Hotel de Ville @hoteldevillecrissier in Switzerland, where I worked with Philippe Rochat, the legendary three-Michelin-star chef. The objective was to stay for three months and then return to America, but that clearly did not happen. After Switzerland, I traveled to the south of France to work with my good friend @chefwilfridhocquet at @la_bastide_de_moustiers , an Alain Ducasse restaurant in the mountains of Provance, where I spent a few months. Chef Gray Kunz requested me to join him in Hong Kong to open Café Gray Deluxe and The Upper House Hotel @upperhouse_hkg during my time in Europe. To summarise, I spent two years in Hong Kong, then another year in Switzerland, then another six years in Hong Kong, and finally four years in Singapore. During my time in Asia, I worked as the chef at Cafe Gray Deluxe, Mr. & Mrs. Fox, The Continental in Hong Kong, and CE LA VI in Singapore. After a 12-year and 9-month journey in quest of improving my culinary skills and knowledge, I am now returning to America with so much more. I met the most magnificent woman in the world, married in Bali, and now have three incredible children. @tararussy24 I am proud of all of the restaurants where I worked and was a part of, as well as all of the chefs and coworkers who helped me along the way. I now have close friends all across the world who I will remain in contact indefinitely. All of the events and experiences that have shaped my life and career during this journey have truly blessed me. We'll miss Asia terribly, but we're excited for our new chapter in America and my next culinary venture. @graykunz @alainducasse @benoitviolier @celavisingapore #cafegraydeluxe #theupperhouse @mrmrsfoxhk @thecontinentalhk @swirehotels #swirehotels #celavi #lioncity #labastidedemoustiers #cheflife #graykunz #benoitviolier (at Kallang, Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUW-qDwliro/?utm_medium=tumblr

7 一個月一次的心靈排毒時間。 Foie Gras Torchon, Rhubarb Cumberland Jelly, Brioche（鵝肝醬芋莢法式牛奶飽）是今天的最大驚喜，希望可以納進cafe gray deluxe的常規菜單裡去。 這次的crossover souvenir是dvf春季印花封面的筆記本x3，好看的同時很實在💛 特別謝謝姊妹的大大個擁抱。 @upperhouse_hkg #theupperhouse #upperhouse #cafegray #cafegraydeluxe #dianevonfurstenberg #dvf #afternoontea #foiegras #brioche （在 Café Grey Deluxe at The Upper House）

I'm so thankful for Instagram! Otherwise, I would have to call thousands of people every morning to let them know that I just ate breakfast. @UpperHouse_Hkg #CafeGray #cafegraydeluxe @PacificPlaceHk (at The Upper House HKG)

Thank you chef… You took me under your wing for many years and I am extremely grateful and honoured! As my culinary mentor you taught me the importance of choosing the right product, understanding where it came from and showing it full respect in the kitchen. You taught me importance of balancing flavours and textures, being true to classical dishes, “nothings better then a great roast chicken!” You had an eye for detail like no one else and would never settle unless completely satisfied. Amongst all you were extremely passionate, loved food and loved to cook. You had a humble approach on food which I admired. You were the greatest chef I knew and hardly went to high end restaurants. Most of our meals together in Hong Kong were local food stalls because that’s where you wanted to be, experiencing the local flavours and culture. The inspirations on the menu came from what we found in the wet market and the organic farms in the new territory… I was always proud to work for you and always thought that eventually we would be in the kitchen together again, I know we both did. People know you for being a great chef but to me and my family we knew you for being a great man as well. I am lucky to have had you in my life and will miss you dearly! I hope that one day I can inspire and impact someones life as you have with mine. @graykunz #graykunz #unclechefgray #cafegray #cafegraydeluxe #lodao #mentor (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9apATzFQ1M/?igshid=mchkmbw3n7vh

4 在香港，每次說起酒店下午茶、cafe或者一些帶著奢華感覺的事物，總有些人會嗤之以鼻說這樣很港女很庸俗很奢侈甚麼，又會推斷說你肯肯定極難討好之類。 一直也很欣然接受這些，直接當成讚美並且以感恩之心看待－－我們是香港女生沒錯，而我們花的都是靠自己一雙手努力工作而來。 或小小奢華或平凡簡單，我們都只是很認真率性地在追求我們心目中想要的生活而已。 回南天病懨懨的日子，特別想念Cafe Gray的精緻下午茶和屬於49樓的明媚景色: http://wp.me/p7flKz-Mm @upperhouse_hkg @netaporter @diptyque #upperhouse #upperhousehk #cafegray #cafegraydeluxe #netaporter #diptyque （在 Cafe Gray, The Upper House）
