Just a kid from the 905…living out his dreams⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I got to throw the ceremonial first pitch for the @bluejays !⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s such an honour to walk out onto that field under those lights & roof….there’s so much history, so much importance, so much…Toronto.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I grew up with the Roger’s Centre as this spectacle of a place. The imagery of the roof open & seeing the @cntower in the back, the iconic Jose Bautista bat flip, the fans in blue & white walking up & down Spadina/Front St and people going crazy for Jays season to start as it’s the unofficial official sign of spring for the city. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ When my family immigrated here, they got to watch & witness the Jays become back to back World Series Champions so it was one of the first western sports they learned about.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I can’t begin to say how much of a dream this experience was. People always ask me how I can always do so many things that just feel or sound so impossible or unattainable. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I grew up being taught to be reasonable, to do what is possible & to do what’s “safe”. But I always looked at things and questioned why can’t I do this or why can’t I try. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Everything’s impossible until it’s proven…& then it’s possible.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So although I grew up being taught that way, I didn’t believe it was how I was suppose to live. I want to hopefully show people through my life that if I can do it/something… whatever they are thinking is impossible can be possible! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s like baseball because it’s historically known as the “American Dream” where it’s the promise that through talent, hard work & perseverance, anyone can achieve greatness.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’m a kid from Mississauga from immigrant parents sponsored to Canada by a take out chinese restaurant who never had his own room until his twenties, made his first salary of $30K only a few years ago, is a chef who now cooks online…& stepped up to pitch for one of Canada’s biggest sports team. Go get it! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Thanks @bluejays organization for giving me the honour! Thank you to @jacobbarnes for catching & signing my ball⚾️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 📸 @lahophoto with the snipes⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #bluejays #baseball #anythingispossible #firstpitch #torontobluejays #mlb #toronto #chef

Think Big,Dream Big, Believe Big & the RESULTS WILL BE BIG!⁣ ⁣ A Billboard in Times Square NYC☑️⁣ ⁣ I remember coming to Times Square for the first time as a teenager & I was just so inspired, so taken back & so amazed at all the lights, the sparkle, the grandness & the excitement of this crazy place known around the world.⁣ ⁣ I didn’t know how I would accomplish it but I couldn’t help but dream & think about how cool & proud it would be to be amongst/part of all of it. ⁣ ⁣ Well it finally happened & it felt like everything I imagined it to be & more. It’s hard to describe the feeling; it’s so euphoric & surreal but also such a sense of accomplishment. Seeing myself up there amongst all the other billboards, the hustle & bustle of NYC, the sounds, the people…I couldn’t help but go “wow” followed by a “I did it”⁣ ⁣ Whatever you love & want to do ,go fully into it & give it your all because if you do that…only good can come from it & anything is possible; the skies the limit!⁣ ⁣ I’m just a guy who makes & shares content about his life & passions in life. Grateful to get to call it my job.⁣ ⁣ Thank you @trykarat for giving me this opportunity & making this happen!⁣ ⁣ #fitchef #timesquare #billboard #timesquarenyc #motivation #contentcreator #chaseyourdreams #chef #bodybuilder #guinnessworldrecord #tiktok #youtube #instagram #facebook

A Taste of Southern China Chairman 大班楼 x 102 House 壹零貳小馆 x Chao Shang Chao 潮上潮 x Ru Yuan 如院 I had the ultimate privilege to experience a meal that is truly considered “once in a lifetime”. Once a year, The Chairman (Best Restaurant in Asia 2026) unveils a collaboration & expectations always run high. Chef Danny Yip and his team are very careful & take pride in collaborating with people who share their same devotion & spirit to Chinese cuisine, history, techniques & exceptional ingredients. With a completely new menu; an 8 hands collaboration dinner was created amongst @thechairmanrestauranthk , @102house_shanghai , @ruyuan_hangzhou , and @chaoshangchao_chaoyang . Celebrating the culinary terroirs of Jiangnan, Teochew, & Cantonese traditions, the whole menu was a masterclass in reimagining, & respecting all of these rich regions with each course being beautifully presented on @ruyi_global porcelain as the perfect canvas. Cantonese cuisine champions the essence of quality ingredients & the energy of wok hei. Hangzhou cuisine is a showcase of elegance with refinement & meticulous execution. Teochew cuisine masterfully balances strong bold flavours with intense rich umami. This meal was not just about deliciousness; it was an exchange of culture & education through a culinary journey & the human communal spirit of sharing a meal together. It was truly something special & a meal that will be remembered for a lifetime. Guest Chefs | @102_xujingye @cyatfung @rextianze_fu The Menu 1. West Lake Lotus Reverie —西湖藕韵 2.

PART 3 | How Japans best whetstones are made🔪 The Finale! The magic of the entire process comes to end as what started as just a few dry powders & liquid over time has become an essential tool for chefs and home cooks all around the world. Time, patience, expertise & precision to the craft is what has made King Toishi & 10 Good a company withstanding over 80 years as an industry leader. The 10 Good line is the perfect balance of tradition with modernization. Last year I got the opportunity to visit King Toishi headquarters in Tokoname City Nagoya Aichi Prefecture Japan to learn about how one of Japans top whetstones are made. King Toishi has over 80 years of history and recently launched their new brand 10Good which aims to help make knife sharpening more convenient & accessible. As a chef and someone who loves a sharp knife, the best way to sharpen a knife is with a whetstone and it’s what I use for all my knives. It’s an honour to learn and see the entire process from start to finish on this traditional craft from Watanabe San who is the current CEO & President and brings a youthful energy to this historic brand. Their top product is 10Good 10Pc Set which to me is an amazing All in One sharpening kit for anyone from professional chefs to home cooks looking to sharpen and care for their knives. The set includes: -Hiroko wood sharpening stand -Sharpening box -Flattening file -Rust remover rubber -Knife sharpening manual The set is available at @bonsaiboystrading & shop.kingtoishi.com | Use code SixPackChef for 10% off #knifeskills #chef #knifesharpening #knife #sharpening

@saintpeterpaddo is one of Australia’s (& for some even globally) most influential modern restaurants, redefining seafood through a bold, “scale-to-tail” philosophy that treats fish with the same passion as whole-animal butchery. Set within the heritage-listed Grand National Hotel, the space blends refined dining with a relaxed, contemporary Australian aesthetic. Here lesser-used cuts, seafood charcuterie, & deeply technical preparations showcase both creativity & sustainability of seafood. It’s a restaurant that feels as much like a culinary lab as it does a destination dining room, pushing boundaries while remaining grounded in produce-driven cooking. Every dish showcases seafood & many of their dishes replace the traditional protein with seafood & the magic of using technique & creativity to not only honour the original dish but to bring a new delicious perspective to it. If you cannot get the opportunity to try their main dining room @saintpeterbar is an amazing introduction & option that allows you to experience the ethos & flavors of the dining room at a more casual experience where walk-ins are welcomed. Although a smaller à la carte menu; it’s got some signatures & also classics that give you a perfect taste of Saint Peter’s. At the center of it all is @mrniland ; a James Beard Award winner & multiple “Chef of the Year” recipient, Chef Josh has reshaped how chefs & diners think about seafood globally. Saint Peter itself has earned top accolades, including 3 Good Food Guide hats & recognition on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants as No.66 2025 list cementing its status as a world-class dining institution. Everything you see in this carousel; all the items are seafood based.

PART 2| How Japans best whetstones are made🔪 The analogy of making toishi(whetstones) as being similar to baking a cake is very accurate. Mixing the wet ingredients with the dry, we achieve a batter that gets molded into the whetstone shape & then baked in one of the largest baking conveyor belts I’ve ever seen. The process is tedious, precise and as you will get to see… extremely hot 1200C/2200F. All needed to ensure you achieve an extremely strong & high quality toishi.

點心 Dim Sum; directly translates to “Touch The Heart” in Chinese. I got the opportunity to go visit 新龍城茶樓 dim sum restaurant with @ilikefishballs that has been touching the hearts & stomachs of locals since 1959! Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on the perspective) the area they are in is being reclaimed to create more government housing & his staff is taking this opportunity as a sign for them to retire. Here you feel like you’re transported to the 60’s as everything has that nostalgic feel & energy. It’s very rare to find restaurants that have been thriving for so long & also play such a role in the local community of Choi Hung Rainbow Estate. It’s a spot where people not just go to eat but to come hang out & to share about their lives with friends & family. No frills, no fuss; what you get here is the classic definition of your “local spot”. They make everything from scratch & keep replenishing only when items are selling out. They have your classic items like har gaw, shiu mai, char siu bao etc but they also have rare items like duck feet with beancurd & taro, glutinous rice dumplings & steamed chicken with fish maw. It’s the combination of the location, the familiarity of the staff with the guests & years of serving freshly made dim sum that give this place that “varnish” you can only ever get with time. We were super lucky to get to experience & enjoy this place before it closes for ever. If you get a chance to see the owner, try to talk to him because he is a character & although he might seem intimidating, he’s just a guy who loves his job, knows everyone by name & holds the whole place down. He & the restaurant will be missed. 📍 新龍城茶樓 (Choi Hung) Shop B, G/F, 67 Lung Chi Path, Ngau Chi Wan, Choi Hung @discoverhongkong 📸 @sonyalpha A7V + 24-70mm GMII #dimsum #HongKong #chinesefood #chinese

Located in the historic @pmqhkdesign complex in SOHO, you will find 1 Michelin Star restaurant @louise.hkg Louise reimagines traditional French cuisine within a beautifully restored two-story heritage building. Designed by acclaimed architect @andrefustudio , the venue offers two distinct experiences: a lush, casual tropical lounge on the ground floor & an elegant dining room upstairs. The menu focuses on “heart-warming” French dishes notably the signature roasted Hong Kong yellow chicken, which blends the chef’s French heritage with high-quality local ingredients. I had it & I was so happy. It’s that distinct cross of incredible Asian ingredient with classical French precise cooking. The restaurant is a collaboration between @jiagroup & @chef_julien who is the visionary behind Singapores 3 Star @odetterestaurant which has previously held the No. 1 spot on the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list. Louise is a love letter from Chef Julien to his roots, utilizing family recipes from his upbringing in Cantal, France. Daily, the kitchen is helmed by Executive Chef @loic_portalier , a rising star who previously worked at prestigious establishments like the three-starred Le Bristol Paris & served as Head Chef at Royer’s Claudine in Singapore & was personally honored as a “Rising Star” by Bazaar Taste Elite Since opening in 2019, Louise has consistently maintained its 1 Michelin Star (2020–2026) & earned numerous other accolades. It’s featured in the @worlds50best Discovery list & recognized by @oadtop100 as one of the Asia Top Restaurants. Now you don’t need to eat at Louise to get a taste of their food as @CathayPacific & Louise are partnered up to offer elevated (pun intended), reimagined French classics for First & Business Class passengers on selected long-haul flights departing Hong Kong.  Whether it’s in SOHO Hong Kong or 40,000 ft above the ground, Louise delivers the taste of France with comfort & elegance fit for any occasion. @discoverhongkong 📸@sonyalpha A7V + 24-70mm GMII #HongKong #michelin #frenchfood #chef #restaurant

This is how you dimsum at old school places in Hong Kong! Sometimes they’ll yell and sometime they won’t. It’s a toss up. Good luck 😉 Have you had to wash your dishes at a restaurant before?
