Rising through the culinary ranks quickly, Chef Miko turned his hand to roles at Raffles and Fairmont Hotels thereafter, investing in every opportunity and gaining reputable experience from the world-renowned chefs he was working alongside.
Throughout his career, Chef Miko has continued to carve out a niche and a name for himself in the culinary scene. From numerous citations as a "chef to watch out for" by recognized publications, a declaration as "chef of the year" by Esquire Philippines for 2015 to securing a place in Asia's Forbes 30 Under 30, his passion for dessert and his natural talent for creating world-class pastries never ceases to amaze.
