Kwen Liew, co-founder of 1 Michelin Star restaurant Pertinence in Paris, France
An Ipoh icon, Kwen Liew keeps it real regardless of success. While some buckle under the weight of awards, she and her husband Ryunosuke Naito are clear-sighted about their ambitions in the City of Lights.
Last in Malaysia in December 2019, Liew is distracting herself from homesickness by perfecting Pertinence’s signatures dishes, including a hearty pie packed with sweetbreads and truffles.
