Chefs on daddy duty: Chef Chai Chun Boon from Copper


Chai and his wife Zeehan Zahari run Copper together which is why Elise has spent so much time at the restaurant. In the future, Chai hopes to pass on some of his cooking knowledge to his daughters. — YAP CHEE HONG/The Star

IN his home in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, chef Chai Chun Boon is watching his mischievous four-year-old daughter Aisya Elise Chai with amusement.

Elise’s tiny little hands are wrapped firmly around a little container of ikura (fish roe), the glistening orange orbs matching the cheeky glint in her eyes.
