Good day! My name is Roger D. Ardiente, and I am thrilled to be here today as a main Chef in Shore Time Pinoy Restaurant, Doha. With a burning passion for culinary arts and a strong commitment to creating exceptional dining experiences over 15 years, I am excited to share my journey and expertise with you.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in renowned restaurants, honing my skills and expanding my culinary repertoire. I graduated with honors from the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu culinary school, where I received rigorous training in classical Philippine cuisine. This foundation has instilled in me a deep appreciation for technique, precision, and the artistry of cooking.

In my previous role as Sous Chef at Mesa Filipino Moderne Restaurant and Chocolate Bar Los Angeles, California, I played a pivotal role in the development and execution of the menu. Collaborating closely with the Head Chef, I contributed to the creation of innovative dishes that combined traditional flavors with modern culinary trends. I take pride in my ability to balance creativity with practicality, ensuring that each dish not only tantalizes the taste buds but also meets the highest standards of presentation.

One aspect of my culinary journey that has greatly shaped my approach is my love for travel. Exploring different cultures and their cuisines has broadened my perspective and infused my cooking with a rich tapestry of flavors and techniques. From the vibrant spices of India to the delicate balance of umami in Japanese cuisine, I have continuously sought inspiration from around the world, incorporating diverse influences into my culinary creations.

Furthermore, I firmly believe in the importance of sourcing high-quality ingredients and supporting local suppliers. My specializations are in traditional Filipino food like Adobo, Caldereta, Kare-kare, Pancit noodles, along with Spanish foods and Italian pasta. As a reward for my passion, I was awarded Employee of the Month and Best Kitchen Award several times in my cooking career.

In conclusion, I am a passionate and dedicated chef who brings a combination of technical expertise, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.
