About

At EQ Kuala Lumpur, my passion for Italian ,French cuisine and fine dining is the cornerstone of my role, bringing over three years of innovative culinary leadership. Our team's commitment to excellence has established the restaurant as a beacon of gastronomic delight in the region. As the President of Bocuse d'Or Malaysia, I championed the art of French cuisine, sharing my expertise and elevating the culinary standards nationally. My journey has been marked by a dedication to culinary art, fostering a culture of continuous learning and refinement. This dedication culminated in authoring “Pasta from My Italy,” an award-winning book that reflects my deep-rooted love for Italian culinary traditions. My tenure as an Associate Professor and Director of Culinary Art honed my leadership skills, enabling me to nurture the next generation of chefs and set new benchmarks for culinary education.
