Meet 7 Malaysians Who Lead MICHELIN-Starred Restaurants Around the World

"Defying convention, desserts lead the menu here, with a Durian & Vanilla Soufflé with salted caramel that reframes a highly polarising fruit in a way a global audience can grow to love. Longevity thriving in London’s fast-moving scene is no easy feat—next year marks thirty years in business—and the restaurant gained its first MICHELIN Star in 2009 (the first Chinese restaurant in London to do so) and has maintained it for 13 consecutive years, a feat attributed to sincerity in preserving the culinary pride of Chinese heritage and an insatiable appetite for innovation with purpose; an offshoot in Dubai is planned by year’s end." - Theri Burhan
