Singaporean chef Barry Quek’s culinary profession has taken him all around the world, working at various lauded restaurants including Les Amis in Singapore; the now-shuttered In De Wulf in Belgium; and Attica in Australia. In 2021 he opened his own modern Singaporean restaurant, Whey, in Hong Kong. It quickly impressed gourmands and critics alike— earning a Michelin-star accolade in the 2022 Hong Kong Macau Michelin Guide, eight months after its official opening.
