Career Path: Accountant > Founder of Restaurant
“My restaurant, Tampopo, was named after a Japanese film"
My Story: I am the Executive Director and one of the co-founders of the Tampopo Restaurant Group. I started my career as a Chartered Accountant and did this job for eight years. Whilst travelling extensively around SE Asia, in the last few years I attended cooking courses in Indonesia (Bali), Thailand (Chiang Mai and Bangkok) and Vietnam (Hanoi and Hoi An). Following a conversation with a friend and my love for travelling I decided to dump my job and start up our own Pan-Asian style Restaurant.
