Her busy schedule in the kitchen made Sira instantly forget about Damian. Cooking kept her focused and her deft hands were constantly mixing and swinging the spatula. If you look closely, Sira is actually more suitable as a cook than a dishwasher. But whatever it is, Sira is grateful for it. She didn't expect more to become a chef, because she realized her skills were still below standard compared to chef Brian."Take a break first." Roy suddenly came and handed her a bottle of water. But because Sira's hands were busy, she did not immediately welcome Roy's gift."Of course. Put it on the table, I'll drink it later. Thank you in advance," Sira replied only glancing briefly at Roy and refocused on her work.Roy shook his head slightly, "Maybe soon you will be like chef Brian," Roy said approaching Sira.Sira just smiled slightly, "That's still far from my mind, and even now I don't know how my cooking tastes." Sira remained focused on cooking, because there were still some food orders
Sira flipped through the recipe notes written down by Chef Brian several times. Then she scratched her head, which was not itchy, but felt confused.Sira turned down the volume of the music drumming in her ears, "Really? I just heard of this dish," Sira muttered with her eyes flicking several times to the recipe and order notes."Penne Arrabbiata?" Sira murmured once more, ka tried and understood the recipe written down by chef Brian with such a well-organized explanation."Penne Arrabiata recipe:""Penne Arrabiata is a pasta dish that is famous for its appetizing spicy flavor." Here is how to cook Penne Arrabiata:Ingredients:250 grams of penne pasta. 2 tbsp olive oil. 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped. 1/2 onion, finely chopped. 400 grams canned tomatoes (or fresh diced tomatoes). 1-2 tsp red chili powder (to taste).

As Roy said, before they visited chef Brian and his daughter. Roy took Sira first to a fruit center. There were various types of various hand fruits that were neatly arranged, from small to large."I didn't know there was a place like this," muttered Sira, amazed and astonished at the place she was stepping on now."Of course there is. We're not in the stone age, there's no way a place like this doesn't exist," Roy replied quickly and then shook his head.Sira didn't respond anymore to what Roy said, she gave some souvenirs then immediately paid for them, so did Roy who followed Sira."What did you buy?" asked Sira casually as they waited for the taxi to arrive."Not much," Roy replied showing a plastic bag that was quite full of goods."You should play first, I'm sure you must be tired," Sira said pausing."No need. Let's get going," Roy said walking first. Roy then deliberately took Sira's hand.Among the brightly shining stars, Love grew in the silence of the night. In the gentle
In a quiet little town, there stood an old restaurant called "Cahaya Senja." It was famous for its delicious Peranakan cuisine and warm atmosphere. The owner of the restaurant, Mrs. Liem, was an elegant lady who always wore kebaya gracefully. In her younger days, Mrs. Liem was known as one of the most beautiful women in the city. However, not many knew about her unforgettable love story with a young chef named Brian.Years ago, when Mrs. Liem was still known as Liem Suyin, she had just graduated from high school. Suyin was a feisty girl, with big dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur. Her family owned a small food stall, and Suyin aspired to grow it into a big restaurant.One day, while Suyin was helping in the kitchen, a handsome young man came to apply for a job. The young man was Brian, a chef who had just finished training at a famous culinary school in Singapore. Brian had a great interest in Peranakan cuisine and wanted to learn more at Suyin's family food stall.Suyin
After the wedding between Brian and Suyin, their lives were filled with happiness and hard work at their restaurant, "Twilight Light." The wedding was simple yet meaningful, attended by their close family and closest friends. The two of them made a promise to always be together, both in joy and sorrow, and that day became the beginning of a long journey they would take together.Brian and Suyin make a great couple, not only in love but also in work. In the kitchen, they worked like two complementary sides. Brian with his expertise in creating new dishes, and Suyin with her meticulousness in maintaining quality and taste. They often experimented together, creating new dishes that always managed to captivate customers.However, after a few years of marriage, they began to feel pressure from various directions. Their restaurant was growing in popularity, and with that fame came greater responsibility. The customers were more numerous, and their expectations were higher. Brian often fe
"So you'd rather run the nightlife business?" chef Brian said, glaring at his wife, Mrs. Liem. For some reason, Mrs. Liem made an indifferent face. "I'm really surprised at you. Don't you feel sorry for your daughter," chef Brian pointed at his young daughter."I want a bigger business, Brian. Am I wrong? I want to enjoy my life more. Not like this!" Mrs. Liem glared, not even caring if her daughter was by her side."Nonsense! You're not like this! I'm sure you're attracted to other men, aren't you? You're jealous of your friends who have rich husbands, aren't you?" Chef Brian intimidated Mrs. Liem."Yes! So what?" retorted Mrs. Liem by shouting loudly in front of Chef Brian. Her face turned bright red, then with a single stomp she turned around and left Chef Brian.Chef Brian clenched his fists tightly. If it wasn't for his daughter by his side, Brian would have taught Mrs. Liem a lesson long ago."Mom! Mom, don't leave me. I don't want you to leave." Their daughter wailed loudly. B
After months of trying to mend an increasingly frayed relationship, Brian and Suyin finally had to face the harsh reality: their once-strong love had now been eroded by the pressures of life and unbridgeable differences. Whenever they try to talk, the conversation always ends in disappointment and misunderstanding. Nothing could bring back the warmth they once felt.One night, when the atmosphere at home was too tense to ignore, Suyin took a very heavy step. After their children, Mei Ling and Han, were asleep, she found Brian in his study. Brian was sitting at the desk, immersed in work, as usual. But this time, there was something different in Suyin's gaze-a decision she had been considering for a long time."Brian, we can't go on like this," Suyin said in a soft but firm voice. "I think we both know that we are no longer making each other happy."Brian stopped his work and looked at his wife. Their eyes met, and there was weariness, despair, and deep sadness. They both knew that t
After the divorce, loneliness became an inevitable companion for Chef Brian. Although he tried to fill his time with work, travel, and teaching, there was an emptiness that lurked underneath it all. Every time he came home to his quiet apartment, the loneliness became more piercing.Brian, who was so used to the routine of family life, now had to adjust to a new reality. No more Suyin's voice greeting him when he came home, no more warm conversations about their day, and no more presence of his children to bring joy to the house. Silence was the only thing that greeted her every time she opened the door to her apartment.The nights were the most difficult time for her. When the bustle of the daytime subsided, Brian's mind began to be haunted by memories of the good times with Suyin. He often sat on the sofa, staring blankly out the window, contemplating how everything could have changed so quickly. Despite knowing that the divorce was the right decision for both of them, he couldn
