The Family Behind Samy's Curry | On The Red Dot | CNA Insider

[@patriciaselwyn799]

Jyothi is a model in every way! Her work ethic, respect, attitude and resilience are impressive! When I see Singaporean children I am amazed! I have resided in 5 countries, but Singapore is outstanding!

[@georgefisher2357]

How come nobody here is appreciating how much Jyothi gave up on her dreams to keep her dad's dream alive

[@jashanpreetsingh6170]

Restaurant earns better than mass communication

[@Ari-ej6lb]

Thats bad actually

[@buddhapiyao1315]

Indian families are used to only the daughter sacrificing in all aspects. not just her dreams, once she gets married the onus is on her to keep the relationship alive against all odds. so she is the only one to compromise. nobody will even bat an eyelid for her .

[@razorhawk9808]

People who are NOT highly-motivated individuals probably can't comprehend the pain of having to give up their dreams to sacrifice for their family.

[@junnaredd9912]

​​@@buddhapiyao1315What nonsense. She had to help her father as the eldest. Even if she's born a man, she would have done the same thing as a son. Long time ago, she probably married off and serve her husband. No opinion in running her family business.

[@prettyo.1385]

Actually, having the air conditioned will add a lot of extra expenses. Maintaining an air conditioned room from morning till night everyday will be very expensive. Most restaurants will need to make the menus pricier afterwards to cover the costs, and that may result in loss of customers who are accustomed to the cheaper price.

[@jeremychan609]

Please retain the rustic charm and the authenticity of the place. Not everything needs to go to the air-conditioned way. Install more fans, make it less warm, manage fumes and heat from your kitchen so that it makes the place less stuffy and warm. If you have air-con, it cools the fish head curry very quickly. Not a good idea as it changes the taste and flavour of your dish. Food is your restaurant's blood and soul. I hope you realise that you have a very good loyal following of customers and you do not have to worry about the younger crowd as long as your food is good and you continue to innovate your food. Innovate food to capture the younger crowd. Do watch Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (UK version) and you will realise similar gems of wisdom

You do know that most indian restaurants that have air conditioner have 2 sections right ? 1 side is the air conditioned room and the other is the normal room which is usually for smokers and also where the food is stored.
