A chef’s culinary odyssey

Aliyaa’s interior follows a sophisticated black-and-white theme.

Having made Malaysia his second home, Sivarajah Suppiah enjoys staying in this country due to its multi-cultural society and freedom to move around.

Recruited to join Aliyaa back in 2008, he was one of five cooks at the restaurant which was then located on Jalan Dungun, Kuala Lumpur. The Sri Lankan chef eventually moved up the ranks to lead Aliyaa’s 10-man culinary team in 2012.
