If you are a fan of Mediacorp dramas or have been following the rise of Singapore’s most promising young actors, the name Gary Ng needs no introduction. However, there is a specific, almost cult-like fascination among fans regarding his early career—specifically his time associated with SHATEC (Singapore Hotel Association Training and Education Centre).

The iconic scene: Sophia confronts her father in the hotel mock-up lobby. "You've fired people for being late, but you'd ruin a kid's future because he made me happy?"

Gary doesn’t win the award. But in the finale, the father offers him an internship anyway, whispering, “Don’t mess up my daughter’s heart, or I’ll mess up your hollandaise.” The Partner: Jun Wei , the Housekeeping ace.
