HEBA KIM, 34, HEAD BUTCHER & HEAD CHEF, THE BUTCHER'S DINING
Heba has always loved cooking and eating meat. So when she was given the opportunity to study butchery, the South Korean native was all in. At the age of 29, she received her certificate and licence from a butchery institute in Korea, graduating top of her class. This achievement was especially sweet as she was the only female in the cohort.
Straight off, Heba wants to correct a misconception – that butchery is all about brute strength.
“Dealing with the meat actually requires refinement and delicateness, so a woman’s touch is needed here. Also, a lot of people think butchery is very simple work – cutting meat from bone – but the work requires a lot of skill and continued education, because butchering techniques evolve with time. You have to understand the meat you’re cutting,” she stresses.
Despite the long hours she puts in – up to half a day sometimes – Heba loves her job, especially when she gets to interact with the customers. She not only takes the time to teach them about meat, but also looks forward to learning new things from them.
