滿滿的養分

今年我們完成了服務。

在這季供餐完畢的最後一天,我們合力清理了冰箱,讓每位廚師都能參與烹調,並為大家準備工作結束時享用的餐點。
不知為何,對我而言,這是值得驕傲的時刻,忙碌的廚師們可以相聚,把自己的創意化為行動,烹調出得以餵養這些飢餓的佳餚。
所以我必須說,我們的員工用餐方式相當豪華奢侈,非常感謝這些有才華的夥伴,一起致力於feuille的服務。

這天時間已經很晚,所有人員蹣跚而行地坐下來用餐,我感到了一種快樂感,即使只有幾個新人廚師,感覺好像我們一起迎接過一場激烈得戰鬥,頓時我們變成了一生的戰友,有過無法言喻的共同目標。
我們當下是一個大家庭,每個人都像是機器當中相互協調運作的螺絲釘,為顧客帶來了最好的東西,感謝每個人沒有他們,feuille永遠不會存在,他們是feuille的真正的英雄和心臟,在困難的時刻,亦是我的養分。
餐桌上有人笑了,彼此交換了餐點,一些簡單的紅白色的酒瓶,以及新鮮的食物帶來了養分,緩解了窮盡勞累的心,這是我希望員工們能體驗到的氛圍,一種歸屬感,親密並相互關懷的感覺。
這天隨著接近尾聲,大家將在未來裡有其他計劃,我祝福他們這些計劃獲得最佳的成功。
如果需要我的協助,我會毫不留情地給予夥伴們,直到下一次的服務......親愛的顧客和朋友們,


2018 5月再見!


Nourishment

By Tim H.

We have just completed April’s tasting service. On the last day of our service, we cleaned out our fridges and had each chef whipped into action to create their dishes of the day for the staff meals. Somehow, to me, this was the most triumphant moment to see each chef gather up whatever strength he/she can muster and put their creative juices into action to feed these hungry stomachs. And I must say, our staff meals were rather luxurious and extravagant in its own way; owing much thanks to these talented chefs and their dedication to the feuille’s service.
As the staff staggered to sit down with exhaustion for their meals at this day’s very late hour, I felt a sense of bonding and happiness for them; even though a few chefs were just newly recruited. It felt as though we have battled fierce and well beyond together and that we were lifetime comrades, sharing a common unspoken objective. We were then families. Everyone functioned like a well oiled and coordinated machine, bringing the best to the table for our patrons. And I have each of them to thank for; without them, feuille never would have existed. They are the true heroes and heart of feuille. They are my nourishment during the difficult service moments. There were laughter at the table; food were exchanged, and a few simple bottles of red and white, along with the nutritious, freshly prepared food brought ease and alleviated some exhaustions. That was the atmosphere I wish my staff to experience, a sense of belonging, bonding, and caring for each other. As the day wound down, some of them will have other plans in the upcoming months and I wish the best and success to all of them. Should they ever need my assistance, I shall most ungrudgingly lend them a hand. Until the next service… my dear patrons and comrades, au revoir!
