Dengkil: Opting not to grieve over the loss of his eye, Mohamad Farid Mohamad Rasidi leveraged his cooking talent to earn a livelihood and support his family.
Popularly known as chef OKU , the father of four offers a tantalising range of cuisines from Morocco and Beijing, China, at the restaurant he runs with his wife, Siti Nur Zawani Najlaa Abdul Hamid, 40.Located in Kampung Semarang here, Dina Corner restaurant officially opened its doors in 2011, six years after Mohamad Farid lost his sight in a workplace accident.
Occasionally, while cooking, Mohamad Farid would pause to cover his non-functioning left eye with a wet towel to prevent discomfort from the heat.“My blind eye won’t regain sight after being hit by a falling rock at work, damaging the wall behind the socket. And you might notice my right eye bulging; that’s because of the thyroid issue I got diagnosed with back in 2014.
“What I find truly delightful is that whenever I prepare fried rice or chicken rice with herbal rice, the customers’ response is overwhelmingly positive; they appreciate the fragrant and appetising nature of the dish,” said Mohamad Farid, who previously worked in engineering and technical plumbing at a private company.
