Alief N.

Hi, my name is Alief and I come from a lovely little city in Malaysia. I’m a chef and I have been in the kitchen my whole life. I have a passion for cooking and baking. I usually run on obsessions (current obsession is soft cookies using brown butter, so been experimenting with different chocolate chips, butter, flours and whatnot). I studied in Perth, Australia between the ages of 17-21 before moving back to my hometown to open a cafe which lasted 8 years. We closed down at the beginning of the Pandemic as I got mentally and emotionally tired and wanted more time with my kids. I then started lecturing at a baking school and I absolutely love it. Still lecturing there and plan on staying for a long time, as I am there only part time (2-3 days a week only). I also love football and am a proud Liverpool fan, I play FIFA on PS4 and I play futsal once in a while. I have a wife and 2 beautiful kids. I was looking after them most of the time up till earlier this year where we sent them to kindergarten and I started taking on more by consulting eateries. Been doing pretty well there too!
