about Luu Meng/Almond Group
Once voted the
Top Chef in all of Asia, Mr Luu Meng is Cambodia’s most celebrated chef. He is also considered an entrepreneur for his
roles as partner in Thalias and CEO of
renowned hospitality company, Almond
Group.
Coming from a family of chefs, he fell in
love with cooking at an early age. His
grandmother worked in the kitchen at the Royal Palace, and his mother owned a restaurant in Phnom Penh. “We
always had good food at home,” he recalls. His mother’s cooking, especially her use of flavours and spices, influence him to
this day.
By the time he graduated high school, Luu knew he wanted
to be a chef. After ten formative years in some of the region’s finest
restaurants, he returned to Cambodia and was quickly recruited into the kitchen
of the Hotel Cambodiana where he worked hard, becoming Sous Chef within two
years, a remarkable achievement.
Around
this time, his long-standing aim to “rejuvenate traditional flavours, and fuse
them with other influences” came to fruition with the founding of the Almond Group. “I wanted to create a living food culture, a Khmer cuisine that
was relevant today and progressive, with an eye to the future,” he says.
Almond Group strives to be an
ambassador for Cambodian cuisine and dynamic hospitality through its hotels and
restaurants at home, together with exhibitions, demonstrations and personal
appearances across the globe. Its continuing professional development training
programme enables staff to make comfort and hospitality top priorities every
time.
