Guided by renowned mentors and enriched by experiences in prestigious establishments, Chef Kim Hock honed his craft, and his time abroad sharpened his skills and solidified his reputation. Eventually, the call of home and a desire for his son to grow up rooted in Penang’s culture brought Chef Kim Hock back to Malaysia.
