1. Jeff Ramsey
Earning his cooking stars and stripes in America and Japan, Jeff Ramsey is a fun-loving chef that hails from both backgrounds. On top of being a father of three, he runs Babe, a restaurant that embraces the child-like joy of discovering good food by combining progressive modernist techniques with Japanese and Spanish culinary influences, all done in playfully artistic fashion.
Operating out of Kuala Lumpur for the past four years, Babe is one of the best spots in town for date night, offering a unique modern dining experience with a killer view.
To tell us more about the man behind the chef's whites, Ramsey took us to one of his favourite restaurants in town, Yung Kee, a popular eatery specialising in Hong Kong style beef brisket noodles, to talk food and what's recently been on his plate.
In a pleasantly surprising twist, the American-Japanese chef had brought along some visiting food friends (respected chefs and sommeliers in their own right) from Tokyo for his meet with T.Dining, proving that the more, the merrier, especially when it comes to good eats.
