Fifty Tales - Aaron Phua and Aaron Khor
This A-team aims to modernize Malaysian Chinese Cuisine and make it more relatable to the newer generation of foodies. Born from the desire to continue the heritage of Chinese style dry noodles, Fifty Tales has evolved to creating modern beloved Malaysian Chinese flavours, as well as revisiting the culture of sharing dishes that most Malaysian households grew up with.
The love for food and drinks was what drew them to the hospitality industry. Khor grew up loving being in the kitchen and would always pick up part-time jobs after school at restaurants. He then signed himself up for Culinary Arts and the rest was history. Phua always has a heart for serving people and seeing happy faces after a good meal kept him going.
