Ismail. Chef Wan was been conferred as a Datuk by Acting Yang di-Pertuan Agong,
Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah, in celebration of the Federal Territory Day
in 1st February 2009. In 1958, he was born in Singapore.
He is the eldest son in the family from seven
children. He had become an inspired to
other chef out there as he got many awards in his life. Besides that, cooking
and his life cannot be separate off. It had become a part of his life since he
was in young age. Accountant, professional chef, food ambassador of Malaysia,
resident chef to the Asian Food Channel, food critic and Malaysian Magazine
Writer, cookbook author, actor and entrepreneur had become a career of Chef
Wan. Nevertheless, he had made a decision to focus more on cooking career as
his interest is more on cooking.
Since he was small, cooking is one of his major
interests. And naturally coming from a big family like that, they are always
surrounded with food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, and he as the eldest, he
said:
“I’m
supposed to try to help mum prepare breakfast for my younger brothers and all.
And naturally I try to be a bit more creative; a bit more fun. And in later
years I started gardening because I love gardening and was surrounded by
vegetables and all that and all that and I say ah what I do with all this stuff
in my garden? Cooking!”
In a young age, he does help his mother a
lot in cooking and gardening. Involved in activity like that does encourage him
to be more creative and good thinking on the food designing. Thus, when he
helps his mother in the kitchen, he tried to demonstrate the food into a new
design and taste with the ingredient that already have in the kitchen. Instead
of that, he learned cooking from his mother and during that time, his father
was in the air force.
Hence, when his father comes back, it does
surprise his father because his eldest son interest in cooking. But day by day,
his parents do support with his interest and now he had become the Food
Ambassador of Malaysia. Indeed, his parents feel proud with him.
