A chef in Hong Kong received the top honour in the sixth S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Competition and will represent Asia at the grand final in Milan, Italy, in October 2025.
The Asia Regional Final concluded in Hong Kong on October 28 with chef Ardy Ferguson, of French fine-dining restaurant Belon, beating nine other talented young chefs from Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, The Maldives, South Korea and Indonesia.
The competition is for chefs aged 18 to 30. Fifteen regional finals are held, the winners of which go forward to the grand final.
Former regional winner Kevin Wong, who represented Asia in the 2019-2021 grand final, now runs the one-Michelin-star restaurant Seroja in Singapore.
Ferguson, who was mentored by Belon’s Matthew Kirkley, secured his win with a dish called Archipelago Celebration, inspired by the Indonesian celebratory dish known as nasi tempong. The creation is a tribute to his Indonesian roots and acknowledges his adopted home of Hong Kong.
