Sam Milby revealed what he found most difficult parts about taking on the role of the tempestuous head chef and owner of a unique Filipino cuisine restaurant called Hain in the show Replacing Chef Chico.He plays the titular character of the much-awaited series, which is also the first-ever Filipino Netflix Original series.  “One of the most challenging parts was not eating the props. Ang daming masasarap na pagkain lagi eh. It was hard not to eat the props. And yes, I got carried away with my anger [in one scene], and I broke a real plate,&quot; he shared during the Replacing Chef Chico presscon held last November 23 in Makati City. &quot;Kasi sa totoong buhay hindi ako nagmumura. And I’ve probably never cursed more in my life sa series na ito. So I apologize (laughs). I feel bad,” he added. <iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz--9Cfvt5L/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2mAO_fSOH5sDOo2VJmkMLZzydwUu329cvvELHj95LnNwY82uPMxS3R81E#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A786567.5%2C%22ls%22%3A785828.3000000119%2C%22le%22%3A786558.2000000179%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/16/sam-milby-at-catriona-gray-engaged-na-1913" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Sam Milby at Catriona Gray, engaged na</a></div>After undergoing a one-week crash course in cooking with co-star Alessandra de Rossi, Sam admitted his culinary skills are limited to the most basic dishes. Then again, he also said he would love to learn how to master one well-loved Filipino dish for his soon-to-be wife, Catriona Gray.“Since it’s for someone that I love, ito yung favorite ng fiancee ko sinigang. So I would like to learn even though I’m not a huge, huge fan ng sinigang, I would learn it para sa kanya,” he admitted. Among all the food featured in every episode of the eight-episode series, Sam also shared which ones were his favorites. “I have two. One of my favorite Filipino foods is laing. So the laing but also the kare-kare risotto. I love peanut butter, and the kare-kare risotto was so good.”https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz--pPevXkx/ <div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/9/30/catriona-gray-sam-milby-enjoy-trip-to-italy-1432" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Catriona Gray, Sam Milby enjoy trip to Italy</a></div>After doing the show with scenes that revolve mostly around what goes on in a busy restaurant kitchen, Sam shared what life lesson he learned after the project. “As a non-chef, I feel like it’s anything in life, if you take your time, if you do shortcuts, the end product is not going to be as good as you want it to be. It’s not going to be as masarap then if you really take your time and put love into &#x27;yung pagluluto, and it will come out much nicer in the final product. Mas masarap,&quot; he said. &quot;I’m extremely excited for yung mga kababayan and the rest of the world to watch Replacing Chef Chico. We’re making history, of course, as the first Netflix-produced series in the Philippines. So, yeah, I’m excited,” he added. <div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/4/11/catriona-gray-sam-milby-travel-to-japan-1043" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Catriona Gray, Sam Milby travel to Japan</a></div>As he waits for the viewers&#x27; and critics’ feedback regarding his performance, the Kapamilya artist says he always tries to take everything with a grain of salt. “I find myself always a student, so I&#x27;m always wanting to learn. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but when it comes to criticism, I try to accept it also if I feel so proud sa ginawa ko, I take that as a positive. And if someone says na ayoko yung acting mo or anything like that, I’ll take it as you’re entitled to your own opinion, but I always take it as a time to grow also,” he remarked.Replacing Chef Chico stars Piolo Pascual, Alessandra de Rossi, and Sam Milby.The series is directed by Dan Villegas, created by Antoinette Jadaone, and produced for Netflix in association with CS Studios and Project 8 Projects. It is now available for streaming only on Netflix.
