And that passion remains aflame: from a childhood spent in a restaurant with five dishes, he’s now the proud owner of five restaurants. The menu begins with Vietnamese rice paper rolls with tiger prawns and a homemade hoisin dipping sauce, a row of citrus-cured salmon and salt and pepper tofu cubes that melt in your mouth.The Malaysian street food prawn laksa, slow-cooked beef massaman curry, Vietnamese caramelised barramundi, fried rice is then served.
“When I checked out this location I thought, wow, what a great opportunity because there weren’t a lot of restaurants like it around and I thought if we do an incredible job, we could be so busy and there’s not a lot of competition.“And it’s been great.
