Culinary Chef Rodney Khoo

Rodney Khoo spent his childhood eating traditional Southeast Asian fare at home and watching his Mother create mouth-watering dishes from scratch. He grew up in the “cultural hot pot” of Toronto and was exposed to a wide variety of ethnic cuisines. This stimulated his creativity and his aspiration to cook and enjoy food at an early age.

In 2007, Rodney classically trained at Toronto’s George Brown College. While apprenticing, he was given the rare opportunity to head West, to Edmonton, Alberta. Here he was able to advance his culinary career and passion for food.

While always striving to keep current with culinary trends, Rodney recognizes the simplicity of food and diversity of flavours from around the world. He considers his cooking style rustic fusion – a take on traditional food with a modern twist. Rodney faces challenges with a hands-on approach in his kitchen, while maintaining his authenticity. He continues to pursue his passion for food and the industry, teaching that food is love and it will show in the dishes you create.
