‘FAREWELL MY SUKIYAKI’: UMNO BLOGS JUMP ON KULA’S COOKING MISSTEP – THE FIRST CHINK IN HARAPAN’S NEAR INVINCIBLE PUBLIC POPULARITY ARMOUR

I think my favourite Japanese restaurant is in danger.

It’s because almost its entire kitchen staff are Japanese.

Today, the PH government announced that,

Only local cooks allowed to be recruited from July 1

excerpts;

The Human Resource Ministry wants all restaurants in the country to only recruit locals as cooks from July 1, says its Minister M. Kula Segaran. 

He however said all operators would be given up to the end of the year to ensure only local cooks work in their restaurants.

He said the regulation only permit locals as cooks in all restaurants effective January 1 2019.  

“So we want locals to be employed as cooks. There will be no compromise…we are giving you notice to do it by December 31. If you don’t do it we can’t help it,” he told Bernama News Channel here yesterday.

Susah la like this.

The mamak of Penang are known to be making lots of noise.

So, that’s why I believe the main targets are their restaurants which mostly hire cooks from India.

But of course the DAP minister can’t say it that way because that would sounds racist.

I think that’s why the whole lot ended being hit by the new regulation.

Japanese, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese and all the other restaurants which depend on their foreign cooks for that special dishes of theirs.

Well, that’s just too bad.

Not the end of the world though.

If I want authentic Japanese food cooked by a Japanese, then I simply have to go to Japan then.

By the way I always avoid those Japanese franchise restaurants.

See lah how.

Anyway, the excuse given was “to protect national food heritage”.

Yah, sure. What is our national food heritage anyway?

Okay, now let’s learn to cook some Japanese food from a Japanese since it will be harder to get authentic Japanese food soon. This is my favourite dish,
