Alvin Leung aka the ‘Demon Chef’ (a sobriquet he gave himself) has had quite an unconventional rise in the culinary world. A former engineer, Leung changed course at the age of 43, quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with when his debut Hong Kong restaurant Bo Innovation picked up two Michelin stars six years into its inception (now it has a third star).
Leung’s signature X-treme cuisine, where molecular gastronomy features strongly in his interpretation of Chinese cuisine, has since become almost as well known as the man himself.
