Alvin Quah
CHEF
Funny, vibrant and known for his inimitable collection of glasses, Alvin remains on a mission to increase awareness of Malaysian cuisine. Born in Kuala Lumpur with Chinese Malaysian heritage, he speaks fluent Cantonese and Hokkien, and from a young age has been passionate about his deep connection to his culture’s heterogenous food. It’s a fascination, to this day, still fuels his ultimate food dream to make Malaysian cuisine as renowned as Chinese or Thai outside his first homeland.
Since leaving the MasterChef kitchen, Alvin has cooked in food festivals, modelled, worked with Optometry Australia to raise awareness for vision health and UN Human Rights group in their “StandUp4Migrants” campaign.
Alvin is currently working on a cookbook, doing a collaboration with a spectacles company and completing his degree in communications.
