Daniel Chia is the founder of YUMSENG.com.

He is currently a full-time Lecturer at a local Institute of Higher Education, where he teaches Food & Beverage subjects.

He has also had stints, as an Adjunct Professor, at the local campus of a foreign university, where he taught freshmen the fundamentals of food & beverage operations.

Daniel is more accustomed to writing PowerPoint slides and lecture notes, which can sometimes reach thousands of slides for each subject…

He will now attempt to write for this blog, and if he finds the time, he may just do the same as he does for his lecture notes, and write thousands of articles…

In his previous life, he has managed restaurants, bars, and, hotel wine & beverage programs, both in Singapore and overseas, in addition to selling and marketing wines & spirits as an importer and a retailer.

His current hobbies are, eating, drinking, cooking, photography and fiddling with IT.

And because he drinks, he does not drive, so don’t be surprised if, one day, you bump into him on the bus or train…

THE MEANING OF YUMSENG...!!!

"YUMSENG" is from the Cantonese dialect of Guangdong (Canton) Province in Southern China, and literally means, "to finish drinking" or to empty one's glass of drink. The English equivalent for this is, "Bottoms up".

"YUMSENG" is usually shouted out three times in succession, and with increasing volume.

"YUM" is always extended (10 seconds or longer), whilst the second syllable "SENG" is shorter (5 seconds or so) and fades off at the end.
