The restaurant is such a success and it is quite surprising to know that the Dorothy did not start out in the food industry. She was a Quantity Surveyor and a Marketing Manager for a chemical company and product companies. It does seem like Dorothy made a huge gamble by venturing into the food industry. She started her restaurant with only 4 dishes (Deep Fried Fresh Water Prawn with superior sauce, Claypot Assam Fish Head, Kampung Steamed Chicken and Ulam (special vegetable dish with her own sauce recipe made from home grown spices and herbs) and being the only cook. She still remembers how she started early those days. She would personally go to the wet market very early in the morning to buy the ingredients for her dishes. She insists that all the ingredients she uses must be fresh. She did have some help with the running of the restaurant from her family members. From being the sole cook of the restaurant, she has now trained chefs to cook for her restaurants. These chefs cook to cater for the high number of purchases daily. She also adds a personal touch to her business by offering catering to those staying or working near her shop.
