E: Describe your typical day in a sentence.

A: On a typical day you’ll find me in my kitchen rolling around with those dry-aged meats, running the restaurant on a daily basis and searching for new experiences in the culinary world.

E: How did you come to be a chef at The Langham, Jakarta?

I was keen to be part of this new exciting journey for my career.

E: What’s the favourite part of your job?
