Declaring the wins to “unstinted team effort”, Chef Patron James Won states: “A great brand is as good as its team. This sets the precedent to work harder at our goals and vision to create cravable F&B brands in Malaysia and overseas.”

Meanwhile, echoing the season’s sentiment with a wish to honour his own grandmother’s influence on his life and culinary journey, James will curate and serve a special lunch menu for mothers on May 13 and 14 at Shin’Labo by James Won.

Inspired by his experiences in Japan, James puts an elegant, delicate and creative spin to the Kikuyu Lunch Menu for Mothers with options of Awabi (Abalone) Signature Don and/or Engawa (Flounder Fin) Signature Don.
