Mathew Leong is a Singaporean Chef working at A L'aise, a Michelin Plate restaurant in Oslo, Norway.

He will represent Singapore on the world stage at the Bocuse d'Or final on September 26 & 27 in Lyon, France, one of the world's most prestigious cooking competitions, the gastronomic equivalent of the Olympics. 

Adrian Abraham speaks to Mathew about moving to Norway at 21 with only S$500 in his pocket, coping with homesickness and what he's doing to be in the best possible shape ahead of the Bocuse d'Or final.
