The story of how Molina came into being is also the story of a fever dream that began in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and culminated in Malaysia.

The story begins with epicurean Datuk Alex Tan traversing the globe to eat at some of the best restaurants in the world. Tan is a passionate foodie whose enjoyment of food is so immense that he has evolved from gourmet traveller to a man determined to bring top international culinary talent to his own homeland.
