Trading Toques For The Hawker Life
"Similarly, the three co-founders of Project Warung — Muhd Shah Indra Jasni, Lee Syafiq Muhd Ridzuan Lee and Mohd Ridzuan Ayob — all have star-studded resumes that include internships and positions at restaurants like DB Bistro, Bar-Roque Grill, JAAN and two-Michelin-starred La Pyramide in France. At their last roles, Syafiq and Ridzuan were on the opening team of Terra which went on to win a Michelin star in 2016. When they turned in their toques and set up gourmet burger joint Burgs By Project Warung at Golden Mile Food Centre in May 2017, they were adamant about only putting in their own savings and not taking loans, even if it meant going without an income for the first six months. Burgs launched its second outlet at Viva Business Park just 10 months into opening its first." - Rachel Tan
