THE CHEF
Melaka-born Executive Chinese Chef Bong Jun Choi was inspired by his father to master the art of dim sum and haute Cantonese cuisine. Chef Bong has been credited as the man who elevated contemporary Chinese cuisine in Malaysia. This well-travelled chef makes trips abroad as often as possible to gain new culinary inspirations. “Five or 10 years ago, being a chef used to feel like a job, but these days it is challenging and very interesting,” the chef says. “I always have to keep abreast of new trends and constantly learn a lot of new things.”
Chef Bong’s philosophy is to be adventurous in his style while never sacrificing authenticity. With 28 years of experience, he has won numerous accolades, both locally and internationally.
