An essential snack and one we see in almost every household during the Lunar New Year, many of us indulge in this sinful treat without fully knowing what goes into it and how it’s made.

Ladyironchef is hiring for 2019.
New year, new you. New resolutions, new job. Be a part of our family and be paid to eat and travel!
Our office has a few tables to fill and we are looking for new writers and videographers with fresh perspectives and sales persons who can bring more money to the company so that we have more fund to stock up on our alcohol cabinet.
Just to put it out there, we are no typical office. We don’t report to work at 9am in the morning each day, glue ourselves to our computers and slog it out till 6pm only to repeat the same draining cycle again and again until we eventually turn senile. Instead here at the Ladyironchef office, we sip wine in the afternoon, play games whenever we feel like it and work only when we need to. On other days when we’re not too busy ‘working-hard-for-a-living’ we go out for tastings where we eat, eat and eat some more.
Sounds like the sort of job you want to be doing? Read on to find out how you can join us!
