Bitter melon, tomato and chili is a typical dish in Chinese culinary culture. In Night Swing, Miss Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien and MC Khanh Vy not only tried it for the first time, but also “rolled into the kitchen” to become a “trainee” seller working to make a real living.At a corner of Phung Hung market (District 5) at night, Mr. An’s restaurant is brightly lit, attracting customers. This will also be the place for Thuy Tien and Khanh Vy to “start their businesses”. In the opening interview, Khanh Vy also humorously revealed her “huge” salary when accepting the invitation to appear on this show.The female MC said: “Miss Thuy Tien promised to buy Khanh Vy a car as a dowry when she gets married if she participates as a guest.” Thuy Tien and Khanh Vy have a good relationship in showbiz, so they are quite comfortable joking and interacting with each other. This time, accompanying the experience also promises to bring many unpleasant “comedy” scenes to viewers.The shop where the two ‘work’ is located in the Chinese area, people communicate mostly in Cantonese. That’s why when Thuy Tien and Khanh Vy just set foot in the restaurant, there was a lot of confusion. Khanh Vy humorously said: “With all the confidence in my knowledge, I studied Chinese for 3 years and have been exposed to Chinese for 10 years, and I understand 0% of what Mr. An and everyone say to each other.”With the support of Mr. An, Thuy Tien and Khanh Vy were quite eager to start their apprenticeship. However, because the market is quite crowded, with customers constantly coming in and out, there is not much time to get acquainted. The two “apprentices” almost had to jump in and work hand in hand in a desperate, desperate situation. The workload is high, having to process a lot of information at once, and also handle all types of diners from fastidious to easy-going, from ordering simple dishes to complex dishes.While serving, taking orders, preparing food, and cleaning up, Thuy Tien and Khanh Vy also took the opportunity to learn Cantonese from Mr. An to communicate with guests. Both of them try very hard to work as efficiently as possible, always keep a smile on their lips, and interact humorously to create an atmosphere full of laughter.“Thuy Tien and Khanh Vy are really happy to experience working in a very different environment today, learn more languages, and see the very cute culture of communication between people. And one thing about Mr. An that is worth learning for us is that he always sees positivity and happiness in the work he is doing. Working in the culinary industry is very hard, but whenever I’m with Mr. An, I always feel positive and dynamic energy,” Thuy Tien said.More than a professional experience, one of the things that Thuy Tien and Khanh Vy find meaningful in the journey of this series is Mr. An’s inspirational story. Mr. An’s family’s bitter melon, tomato and chili restaurant has been present at Phung Hung market for nearly 30 years. According to him, since he was 13 years old, he has helped his mother sell because of her “seduction” that he would buy him a bicycle for the Mid-Autumn Festival.Khanh Vy shared at the end of the journey: “There are two things I learned from Mr. An’s story. One is to dare to try, dare to do it, then you will know what is right for you. Second, passion can come from a small achievement in the process of persistently trying to do something. Another thing I learned from Mr. An is that he is very patient and calm – a very important virtue in all aspects of life.”
