My name is Kenny, born in the township of Klang, in the state of Selangor, West Malaysia, which is a short drive from capital city Kuala Lumpur (minus traffic!); & of Peranakan heritage from both sides (maternal hailed from Penang whilst paternal having roots from Malacca).
I migrated to Sydney with the family as an 18yo. I now live in Sydney as a represented & exhibiting artist/painter (by the name Kenneth W H Lee)

After a career in corporate finance- asset/funds management, & diehard foodie/cook (spent a short stint as sous chef at Little Hutong La Perouse opening, executive chef hailed from a Macau double Michelin star establishment) – having deep passion in creating new & old dishes that piques my interest & palate. I love spicy & simple yet complex hawker foods rich in its flavours from generational knowledge. We currently produce & sell to order artisan delicacy, lovingly crafted Malaysian Premium XO Pork Jerky “Bakwa” or “Long-Yoke” (including Nuclear Char-Siew and Slow-Roasted Pork Belly & Cracking) – of premium selection minced meat cured & marinated deeply in herbs & spices then expertly chargrilled on BBQ for an amazing smoky finish. It pairs superbly with a fine whiskey, wines (or some drinks with umbrellas) or a chilled beer. I challenge you to stop at just a couple of pieces!
