“I’d say everything we do has a purpose. Nothing on the plate is done without a reason, each dish tells a story of our question of what the diaspora experience is.” – Wong Chin Hua

Reliving Chef Wong Chin Hua’s feature in The Chef Series 2026, set within the ancient rainforest of The Datai Langkawi.

Named Michelin Guide Young Chef 2026, Chef Wong brought his take on Chinese diaspora cuisine to life, pairing local market produce with fresh harvests from our Permaculture Garden.

From a live showcase to a degustation dinner, each dish explored the flavours, memories and heritage passed down through generations.
