With his passion for cooking developed through two years spent as a seaman, Justin Quek developed his culinary skills under the renowned chef Bertrand Langlet, and further honed his skills with a stint in France. This proved to be a turning point in his career, with his return to Singapore seeing him serve as the personal chef to two French High Commissioners. In 1994, Quek setup the multi-award-winning Les Amis Restaurant, venturing on to Taiwan and Shanghai, where he now operates three highly-acclaimed restaurants in the Xintiandi district.
