Chef Erik Cheah working the wok in the basement kitchen

Three generations in the food industry

He left Per Se to cook his parents’ laksa.

Chef Erik Cheah trained at the highest level of dining and politely declined to stay. The menu looks home to Penang, where his parents sold white curry laksa from their backyard to commuters — the version served downstairs is theirs, unchanged in forty years.
