About Dinesh Khadka
Pursuit of excellence comes naturally for Mr Khadka, who sees an opportunity to grow in every challenge. Arriving in New Zealand in 2002 with just $500 in his wallet, he was ready to work anywhere anytime. Such openness and dignity of labour took him to Te Puke where he worked picking fruits and managing farms. Two years later, seeing himself financially healthier and mentally stronger to face stiffer tasks, he called his wife and children from Nepal to join him.
Moving to Auckland, he drove taxis, did odd jobs and then decided to become an entrepreneur. He set up a cleaning services company and progress from there has been steady.
If nothing succeeds like success, Mr Khadka has had no opportunity to look back at life and regret it.
“Life can be like Momo. Its taste depends on the way it is steamed or fried- likewise, life can be light or heavy as you make it. But everyone must try, for success lies on self-indulgence, not on someone else’s experience,” he said.
The Momos in this episode are round-shaped steamed Momos with a tasty filling of chicken and vegetables with a special homemade sauce with Nepali spices.
Mr Khadka made a special vegetarian dish to delight show hostess Bharati Sonu.
