When sustainability leads the way, culinary boundaries dissolve — Chef Jimmy Ophorst of PRU, Phuket, and Chef Choi Ming Fai of MORA, Hong Kong, join forces for a thought-provoking collaboration at the 25th World Gourmet Festival.
From the biodiverse fields of Thailand to the soy artistry of Hong Kong, both chefs are redefining what fine dining means in a world craving conscious creativity.
At PRU and MORA, Chef Jimmy and Chef Choi reimagine fine dining through purpose and place — from Phuket’s terroir-driven transparency to soy-led elegance rooted in heritage, minimalism, and the future of food.
This is more than a meal. It’s a meeting of values, flavours, and forward-thinking. Savour a night where innovation is rooted, and sustainability is the soul.
