January 6 & 7: Chef Johnson Wong, Gēn Penang
The Chef Series will premiere with Wong, a graduate of Sydney’s Le Cordon Bleu who is currently flexing his culinary muscles at his own restaurant, Gēn in George Town, Penang. With years of Michelin-starred experience under his belt and passport stamps that some of us can only dream of, Wong has spent the last few years perfecting the use of local produce, his culture and childhood memories as his tools. His restaurant was named one of William Reed’s Asia’s Extended 51-100 Best Restaurants, Penang’s sole representative on the esteemed list.
