Working in the restaurant industry during the year-end festive season can be hectic as most people are eager to wind down with convivial gatherings. Having worked as a Sommelier for seven years, N. Faizal, Sommelier and Restaurant Manager at wood-fire restaurant Butcher’s Block in Raffles Hotel Singapore knows better and appreciates festive get-togethers with his colleagues.
He says: “Having a proper sit-down meal with my fellow colleagues and chefs, who are part of your restaurant family, is one of my favourite memories of the Christmas season. It’s one of the most special times in the year, where we gather round, eat and drink wine to our heart’s content, creating meaningful moments.”
