IAG NOV 2022年11月 亞博匯 138 INDUSTRY PROFILE IAG: What is your favorite cocktail? LL: One of my favorite classic cocktails is a Negroni, a simple but delicious blend of gin, Campari and sweet vermouth. It tastes bittersweet with a touch of citrus and a complex flavor of herbs. Coupled with a strong aftertaste, this cocktail is very suitable for seasoned men. IAG: How did you end up with Sun Food and Beverage? LL: I still remember I was 21 years old when I applied for a position of assistant manager at Sun Food and Beverage. However, after a day of interviews, I was not hired. My superior at the time then argued with the senior management that I was competent for the position so that I could have an opportunity for development. Fortunately, the senior management at last recruited me. I got along well with my colleagues in this new workplace, and given my past experiences I was able to change the interviewers’ perception of me quickly. He did not have a favorable opinion in the beginning! Afterwards, I had many opportunities to showcase my abilities in the food and beverage industry as I developed within the company. IAG: As a member of the Union of Bartenders & Cocktails of Macau, can you tell us the background of your association? LL: The Union of Bartenders & Cocktails of Macau (UBCM) was formally established in 2012 after a year of preparation. It has been 10 years since its establishment. While the association has not organized many activities, it has brought many happy memories for local and foreign bartenders in Macau, local residents and merchants throughout the years. UBCM has organized a bartending contest in Macau annually since 2012. With the development of the hotel and catering industries in Macau, many overseas bartenders have been attracted to work here and the bartending skills and level of practitioners in Macau have also improved.
