Photographer turned maverick chef

AT the height of his photography career about 17 years ago, Andy Ong was highly sought-after by local magazines to shoot their fashion spreads. Not only did he work with famous models such as Ling Tan, Hana Toolseram and Bernie Chan, top department stores like Metrojaya and Mun Loong were his regular clients.

These days, Ong, 56, prefers to dish up signature culinary creations, moving away from photography and fashion. He is more focused on flexing his cooking prowess at his eponymous Chef Photographer Andy Ong Chinese omakase-style venture housed in Jaya One, Petaling Jaya.
