About our speaker

Chef Victor Liong
Mr Victor Liong arrived in Australia from Brunei at age six and grew up immersed in the multicultural energy of Sydney.
He’s an alumnus of the kitchens at Galileo and Mr Wong, and his time at the acclaimed Marque restaurant remains a significant influence on his approach to this day.
In 2013 Victor opened his first restaurant, Lee Ho Fook, in Melbourne. Originally located in Collingwood, Lee Ho Fook rapidly grew in popularity and in 2015 moved to a larger site on Duckboard Place in the CBD, where its loyal following enjoys Victor's unique and creative new-style Chinese dishes.
