A Baba meets Bourdain


TV start: Chua Guan Leong, who is originally from Malaysia, was a contestant on The Taste, a British television cooking competition.

A strong interest in cooking impelled former financial analyst Chua Guan Leong to put Malaysian food on the London map.

CHUA Guan Leong got the thumbs up for his Malaysian Sambal Prawns and a place in the final 12 on The Taste along with his most memorable moment on the show: Anthony Bourdain asking – nay, imploring – him to work with him because “together we will make music”.
