Wong says all his Chinese New Year recipes are very easy for home cooks to recreate this festive season. — LOW LAY PHON/The Star

Michael Wong’s relaxed confidence is something that you will instantly detect when you first see him in a restaurant kitchen where he is both efficient as well as enthusiastic. But then again, Wong’s familiarity with the kitchen stems from his humble beginnings.

Born and bred in Lenggong, Perak, Wong started cooking for his five younger siblings when he was 15 to help out his parents, who were rubber tappers.
