“When guests smile, I am happy.” This is what Sous Chef Ken Imamura had to say when asked about what inspires him in making unique dishes and specials.
At the helm of Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino’s “Mizu” restaurant, Chef Ken gained his culinary skills at his sister-in-law’s restaurant, where he honed and fine-tuned his culinary skills over the years.
Like his answer to the question about what his inspiration in cooking is, Chef Ken’s dishes are simple yet intently profound – as today’s featured recipe – “Shoyu Ramen” – would exemplify. (Yasunari Ramon Suarez Taguchi)(FREEMAN)
