Shawn Chong, winner of the Diageo Reserve Worlds Class Regional Finals SEA Best Bartender award.

From a waiter to one of South-East Asia’s best bartenders, Shawn Chong’s career has been an eventful one, and proof that there is more to bartending as a career than most people realise.

At the recent Diageo Reserve World Class regional competition in Bangkok, Chong tied with Singapore’s Steve Leong for the title of South-East Asia’s Bartender of the Year, and will be representing Malaysia in the Global Finals will be held in Cape Town, South Africa in September.
