For most chefs – certainly most chefs that I know – the ultimate career goal is to one day earn a Michelin star (or two or three) for their restaurants.

Of course, these are lofty dreams that don’t often come true, because competition is stiff and not all chefs are going to make the cut. After all, in Malaysia, there are currently only five restaurants with Michelin stars and the chefs behind these eateries have been in the industry for quite awhile.
