On a warm Saturday evening, three chefs came together for a collaboration dinner at a restaurant called Evoke Gastrobar, hidden within a condominium in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur.

While a collaboration dinner itself isn’t out of the ordinary in the culinary world, what’s unusual is that two of these three chefs don’t currently have a permanent job.
