Introduction
Chef Sabri as a Kid
Celebrity Chef Sabri Hassan learned to cook since I was 9 years old, helping my mother make cakes for school, I knew at that time I had to sell cakes. During my school holidays, I went to Pantai Remis, helping my grandfather at the coffee shop stall at 5 am to get up to cook nasi lemak to sell to fishermen to go to sea.
Let’s shorten the story, when Abah was in the 4th grade, I was able to open Warong Pak Hassan restaurant in Kemunting. At that time, I helped my mother make roti canai, I didn’t know if I wanted to spread the roti canai dough, I had to use a big tray but so be it. After 1982, Abah was able to tender for a canteen at the Sungai Petani Airport Camp also woke up in the morning as my routine to buy cooking ingredients.
After 1 year Celebrity Chef Sabri Hassan was able to open a Mini Restoran Hassan at the Airport Camp, Sungai Petani, I want to sell Tomyam but I didn’t know how to make it, so at first, I thought all tomyam was at the night market, then I bought the ingredients tried to make it thank God I made my first tomyam from there came the interest to be a chef.
In my school days, I liked uniforms like the Police and the Army you know, my father is a very disciplined combat child in school I had the rank of corporal in the Kadet Polis DiRaja Malaysia.
After 2 years of interviewing to be a policeman but I was not tall enough then I thought back it is not necessary to be tall to become the chef. In 1985 I went for an interview at Uitm shah Alam. I was able to bargain in the field I was interested in.
Celebrity Chef Sabri Hassan studied at Uitm shah Alam, As the best student, I got an offer to further study at Hilton group. It is really challenging work at there. I always infuriated from ‘mat salleh’ from Germany, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands. I have to come to work as early at 6.00am and back at 1.00am. But luckily as a combat child, I can be durable.
During my first-year tenure, I was not allowed to cook just cut chicken, wash the kitchen, chiller, freezer and peel onions. But with my strong interest to be the chef. I used to work smart and don’t work hard (keep this story let it be a secret). If you want to know the whole story, you can call me.
At that time, my boss was riding a 1,100cc Kawasaki Ninja. But sooner or later, I must own that big bike too when my big boss from Switzerland and me get the Chain de Rotisseurs Medal. so I keep my ambition to be like that ‘mat salleh’. I learned the hardship no matter the time as I was still bachelors and I don’t mind to come back home late and nobody borders me.
And finally Celebrity Chef Sabri Hassan owns the first Harley Davidson’s bike and the Chain de Rotisseurs Medal.
