1. Chef Jun has made her mark at Michelin star restaurants
After casting off her graduate cap from Taylor's University Lakeside, Jun Wong traversed the Asia-Pacific region in search of skilled mentors. Knocking on doors paid off by way of kitchen positions at Robuchon au Dôme (3 Michelin stars) in Macau, Narisawa (2 Michelin Stars and number 8 on the World’s 50 Best) in Tokyo, Sixpenny (2 AGFG*hats), and Le Petit Flot in Sydney. Half a decade later, the ‘prodigal daughter’ is back on Malaysian shores, and at the helm of one of KL’s most forward-thinking restaurants. Kikubari, a contemporary Japanese restaurant in a clandestine part of Damansara City Mall, employs not one, but two sommeliers—all the better for pairing tantalising tipples with Chef Jun’s cuisine.
