Alvin Leung

Alvin is a truly unique chef. Born in London, raised in Toronto, he has travelled extensively since childhood, making him well-versed in different cultures and cuisines. He realised early on that modern diners wanted more than just a tasty meal - they wanted to indulge their senses and push them to the limit.

Contrary to his "rock and roll" image, Alvin's professional training as an engineer manifests in every dish he presents. With the utmost precision, he substitutes ingredients and methods of cooking until perfection is achieved. A single dish can take months to perfect and new menus featuring the latest innovative cooking techniques are eagerly awaited by his regulars and food critics.

A true culinary genius, Alvin is recognised by his peers as one of the most creative in Asia, and he is regularly invited overseas to give masterclasses and demonstrations alongside celebrated chefs, such as Ferran Adria, Rene Redzepi and Martin Berasategui.

Alvin's X-treme Chinese cuisine has broken down long held preconceptions of what Chinese food should look and taste like and he has single-handedly created new taste sensations which give diners a unique experience every time they visit Bo Innovation.
