医生拿锅铲卖健康便当
In November 2017, a Shin MIn Daily reporter asked for an interview, she was interested in my story, how I accidentally started a restaurant and became a full-time chef there and how subsequently i started a medical clinic to help people with chronic lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes to change their lifestyle and dietary habits. Initially I was reluctant to accept the interview because I was worried, I was not sure hw the article would turn out, especially whether my dual role as a doctor and chef would be appropriately communicated in the story but in the end, my fears were totally unfounded, I was glad I agreed to the interview because the reporter wrote a well balanced article in the end, for that I was very grateful.
