We should consider ourselves fortunate and grateful to Mr. Bhairab Narsingh KC and Mrs.agat Kumari KC for having given us their youngest son on 17 July '1956 in Nuwakot,Nepal's first Executive Chef Govinda Narsingh KC in the history of Hospitality.
Chef par excellence and a familiar personality in the hospitality industry and culinary arts, he has truly justified the popular proverb in Nepali "Hune Biruwa Ko Chilo Paath" (Morning shows the day) aptly proved by his achievement. He is a living example for Nepalese people that the sky is the limit for those who dream in the local context.He had started his professional career as an apprentice from the then Soaltee Oberoi Hotel in 1978 and has traversed the long and rough path to be in the present position of Food Production Director in LSG Skychefs, flight catering unit of Soaltee Crowne Plaza.
In his long career he has worked in various capacities until he was given the coveted title of Executive Chef in January '2004. During his long career of 30 years he has had the opportunity of promoting Nepali Culinary Heritage in countries such as Italy, Singapore, France, China,Turkey, Bangkok and all over India besides supervision of various prestigious diplomatic and royal functions which has earned the coveted award of Gorkha Dakshin Bahu from His Majesty Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev in 2005. On the domestic front his contribution has not been in anyway lacking either. He has been an integral part of various cookery programmes such as Chefs Corner in Kathmandu Post and cookery show Chulo in Kantipur T.V making it needless to mention the reason for his popularity amongst the local. To further sharpen his knowledge, he has attended the Global Quality System Training related to HACCP System / Food Safety and CMCP System for airline catering in relation to Health & Hygiene. He is life time member of Chef Association ofNepal (CAN) besides advisor to CAN. When we ask him about his comments for the new generation he always replies "Whereever you work in Hotel industries you should follow Respect,Punctuality and Discipline in your life. These are the keys which you need to open the door of your successful life. From last few years I haven't seen all these things in new generation. In my time I always used to follow these things and I never failed in my target." In general comments he said," You should always give importance to time,things and person you will never fail in your life no matter how hard is your path ahead. When I had joined hotel industries there were no qualified people in Nepal because there were no institute to make you trained and skilled person. That's why we had to rush to our neighboring countries. Now a days we have good reputed institutes to produce qualified manpower for our country then why should we look for the other countries to fulfill the good position. It is a shame to us that we produce more than 3000 qualified manpower per year in Nepal but when we search for a person for the hotel position all of them are found to have gone abroad. This is all because of political situation in Nepal. Our Nepal is rich in Water sources and tourism. I am confident that we can do huge progress in tourism sector. If we succeed to develop tourism sector in Nepal we don't have to find the other solution. For developing the tourism sector, there should be peace in Nepal. And these all go over to the political leaders in Nepal who should be supporting each other not to pull each others legs. He is a giant personality who believes in simple living and high thinking.
