NAIROBI, March 26 (Xinhua) -- While growing up http://www.cheapmlbjerseysroyals.com/Bo-Jackson-Jersey/ , Reagan Mdogo Amalemba would never imagine that one day he would become a popular chef in an exotic restaurant located in an affluent suburb of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
The 33-year-old father of two grew up in the rugged hills of Western Kenya where access to modern trappings was a mirage.
Amalemba enrolled in a public school where he nurtured the dream of pursuing an elite career that would offer a strategic escape from village drudgery.
His life's journey took a tragic turn when both parents died and he was forced to drop out of high school because of lack of school fees.
Amalemba's audacious spirit and ability to adjust quickly cushioned him from social ills that are associated with poor and unskilled youth.
Official statistics showed that there are over 60 Chinese restaurants in Nairobi, creating more than 1,300 jobs for locals.
Moreover, more than 90 percent chefs working in these restaurants are local Kenyans.
Now an accomplished chef in an upscale Chinese restaurant in Nairobi, his inspirational life's history, as told to Xinhua on Wednesday, could as well earn him a place in history.
"While fate conspired to deny me long cherished dream of a glamorous career, I held on to hope and optimism. Soon after dropping out of school, I navigated through a treacherous journey in Nairobi while searching for opportunities," said Amalemba.
In 2010, he applied for the position of a chef at Chinese Jinjiang restaurant located in an upmarket Nairobi suburb.
When Xinhua visited Jinjiang restaurant on Wednesday afternoon http://www.cheapmlbjerseysroyals.com/Ge … tt-Jersey/ , Amalemba's prowess in preparing Chinese cuisine was evident.
In a record five minutes, he prepared Cantonese squid, star fry cabbage, griddle potatoes, sweet and sour pork whose taste and aroma was irresistible.
Amalemba credits Chinese mentors for his mastery of cuisine from the Asian giant.
"At first, I thought that preparing Chinese dishes was a herculean task. Like many Kenyans, I had minimal exposure to foreign cuisines. Surprisingly, the initial fear dissolved and currently I find it easier to cook and serve these dishes," Amalemba told Xinhua.
Currently a senior chef at Jinjiang restaurant, Amalemba is a model of inspiration to young Kenyans keen on learning the intricacies of preparing Chinese dishes.
Asked whether working at Jinjiang restaurant since 2010 has transformed his life, Amalemba answered in the affirmative and stated his desire to pursue a career in hospitality industry for the long haul.
"Since joining Jinjiang restaurant five years ago, I can say that my life has taken a new turn. A steady and reasonable salary alongside good working environment have offered a much needed fulfillment http://www.cheapmlbjerseysroyals.com/ ," said Amalemba.
His knowledge of Chinese language, culture and cuisine has improved drastically for the past years.
"I can understand the meaning of key Chinese words, though am not able to speak the language fluently. Knowledge of the language makes it easier to communicate with clients,"Amalemba said.
During his five year stint at Jinjiang restaurant, Amalemba has mentored younger Kenyans who are now accomplished in preparing Chinese dishes.
Amalemba represents the new generation of Kenyans who have secured a lifeline from Chinese enterprises.
A once disadvantaged village boy is an inspiration to his peers, having secured a well paying and glamorous career.
"Some of my age mates wonder how I manage to cater for my family without a hustle and even extend financial s.
