They say birds of a feather flock together. This aptly describes the dynamic partnership between chefs Steve Chua and Edmund Chong. As business partners and founders of the Two Chefs Lab group, the duo has successfully opened three Japanese restaurants since they teamed up in 2016.

Ipon-born Chong, 43, and Batu Pahat native Chua, 40, met some 15 years ago when they were working together at Inagiku at Raffles The Plaza in Singapore. As colleagues, they soon discovered a shared passion for Japanese food and cooking.
