Life-long Learning

Mango believes that "healthy foods should be natural, low-fat and additive-free". He disguises the use of short cuts such as adding flavour enhancers that fool customers’ taste buds. He added that flavour enhancers can even ruin the dish if tomatoes and fruit are present.

Mango studies hard to improve his cooking. In 2003, he enrolled into the Master Chef Course in Chinese Cuisine organised by the Chinese Cuisine Training Institute. He said, Chinese chefs often lack knowledge in food nutrition. The Master Chef Course includes subjects on nutritional sciences, management and even "Fire Safety Regulations", which are especially useful to practicing chefs.
