R&D

Chef Eric Chong was the first-ever winner of CTV's MasterChef Canada. To sharpen his skills, Eric travelled extensively through Asia with his mentor and partner in R&D, Alvin Leung, as well as working stints in Alvin's Hong Kong Michelin-starred restaurant, Bo Innovation. He also apprenticed in the kitchens of Buca in Toronto. Now, Eric has returned to the heart of Chinatown to realize his dream of a restaurant, inspired by his childhood in Canada and his grandfather's dim sum. Eric brings a youthful and rebellious passion to R&D—a modern eatery paying tribute to traditional Asian flavours and beloved Canadian dishes.
