Hyatt Regency. Nov 28. 2010.

First Day at Al Dente Hyatt Regency Guam! After two days of oreantation ( Nov 22/23, 2010), I had to wait to get to work because I didn't have the Health certificate from Guam. The interesting thing is although I have Serve Safe certificate from NRA in the US, I am still not allow to handle the food at the restaurant. Anyway, I got the temporary one and went to work today no knowing anyone there except I have met chef Jo at the interview day as well as executive chef Josef.   I got to work place before 3 pm and got my uniform and wore it and took that pic above in the locker room.

Home made Salt in Hawaii

One of my day off, I was driving around the island with my wife and host dad. Our fist stop was Malama point. We drove along the beach until we couldn't go further. There is a hiking trail though. We parked by the beach and I went down to take a few photos of the sea and the mountains. This pic is one of a salt ponds along the beach. I went back to my car and got a ziplock bag and got that chunk of salt crust. Naturally sea water get in and the sun help to evaporate and left the crust. I took 32 oz of sea water from there. With that water and salt crust , I mixed them together and filter the mixture and started heating up at home. With slow heat, let the moisture or water evaporates until it is dried and sandy...Finally, I got this salt...( When I was young, I did a few times making salt out of salt sea water crusted sand and sea water to get home made salt. ) Posted @ https://www.facebook.com/yan.jamesaung/videos/10155934995247496/?t=0
