Buzzing Cashier

Why do some food businesses get the thumbs-down? Together with the hosts Kym Ng, Quan Yi Feng and Dennis Chew, various famous chefs will assess the factors that contribute to the ailing businesses and try to correct them. Find out if the stall owners can revive their businesses with advice from the trade experts!

This programme is copying almost exactly like the Japanese variety show in sg production. Even though it is copied, i still enjoyed this show very much because from this programme I learnt a few tips of the cooking skills, as well as life lessons.

The recent episode is about a woman who used to be a boss of tailor shop. Due to the bad businesses, had no choice but to close down the shop. She decided to open up a fish soup stall at Dunman Food Centre. However, she didnt do her research well, of cos she is bound to fail and her stall business is really bad.

The mediacorp decided to help her and give her a famous chef to teach her how to cook a bowl of delicious fish soup. During the training, the chef realised that she can't even cut fish properly and she doesn't know how to cook fish soup at all. The chef is very patient and forgiving with her even though she makes a lot of mistakes. He saw her keen interest and willingness to learn, although he pretends that he didn't see.

What she think was easy from the beginning has become a tough task for her. She got to wake up much early, just to practice what the chef has taught her, over and over again.

Learnt a great lesson from her is that if there's a will, there is a way. Someone told me before that there is no student that cant be taught. It's how much time and effort the student is willing to learn and absorb.

Being a boss in the past, she got to let go of her pride and start learning everything from scratch again. Even the chef is unsure if she can make it with such a lousy standard from the beginning. What i admire her most was, with her strong perseverance, patience for herself to learn and hard work, she is able to breakthrough from her own mindset and achieve what she wants.

At the end of the show, she has finally managed to conquer her fear, proved herself that she can master the skills of cooking delicious fish soup. Feeling gratitude towards that chef, she bought him a bottle of tea leaves. This is a very nice gesture of her. We must learn to be grateful for what we have received or taught.

It's every Tues, 8pm, channel 8. IT'S A MUST WATCH VARITEY!!!
