#161 Junda Khoo

from Johnny Yaps Hosted by Johnny Yap

In this episode I sat down with Junda Khoo one of the minds behind the Ho Jiak restaurants in Sydney. Originally from Malaysia, it was nice to chat with Junda and have him share his stories from being bullied to getting involved with gangs and leaving Malaysia, to coming to Australia and learning by doing. Without classical 'chef' training, it goes to show that if you have the drive to do something you can get it done. We cover a wide range of topics in this discussion from building business to relationships, cooking, franchise / licensing models, 'Young and Dangerous' and much more. Enjoy!
