MEET THE MAN BEHIND IT ALL
Goo
“I have been lucky enough to work at some great restaurants and hotels – Bangkok Wok, Spicewok, Hilton Hotel and then Executive Chef of Onomo Hotel in 2020.
When COVID hit SA and the hospitality industry was so severely affected, I found myself being retrenched.”
Perhaps a serendipitous moment in disguise?
When he was offered a chance to set up shop at Beachwood Country Club, Durban North in collaboration with Aloe Beach Café he jumped at it.
“Goos on Beachwood is a dream come true for me. It’s been a vision for so long.
We opened in the beginning of July, and it’s been amazing. The support has been phenomenal, and I am truly grateful, especially in these trying times where so many restaurants are struggling.
Thai food is such an amazing cuisine!
It’s all about balance – achieving the perfect harmony between sweet, sour, hot and salty.
Pungent fresh herbs, such as lemongrass, lime leaf, holy basil & galangal tone down overpowering spices, while salty sauces are tempered with sugars and offset by acids, such as lemon and lime.
So many beautiful flavours to create amazing dishes!
