wow .. is it true that until now you have your own restaurant in the US and also in Cambodia? It seems very interesting for us to read if you post it here and share your stories with us about your restaurants? I can't wait for that exciting story from you justin π
oh really? Urap and gado-gado are also my favorite foods, these two types of food are very delicious if the one who prepares the food is an expert chef. And these two types of food are also very suitable for vegetarians like your family π€€π
In the USA I only work for restaurant owners, too expensive to open one by myself, almost $100,000 USD to open a tiny cafe with a few chairs. I work one year and maybe save $600 to $1,000 USD there, so making a business was never going to be an option for me in the USA, too poor.
But here in Cambodia, with $500 and a good idea you can make a business. For $1,000 USD total investment I was able to buy tables, chairs, decorate, and prepare a kitchen. Doing business in Cambodia is much easier for poor people I think.
At our restaurant we often served gado-gado and urap, a mix of Indian, Thai, Indonesian, and Cambodian foods. I wish we had more tempeh in Cambodia, it's not a common food. My wife and I know how to make it, but it takes so much time and easy to make a mistake and destroy all the tempeh if the weather is too cold, too hot, too rainy, etc.
In Suriname we ate tempeh every day because the country is Javanese/Indian/African.
