In 2019, Chef Ton's restaurant received its first Michelin star; in 2023, it will be named one of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants.
Le Do, the Thai eatery owned by Michelin-starred Chef Ton, came in first place on the list of "Asia's 50 Best Restaurants" this year and introduced Thai cuisine to the rest of the globe. Chef Ton visits many different nations frequently. He occasionally feels uneasy abroad, but not in Taiwan. However, he has never experienced this feeling before, and he felt like Taiwan is his home.
According to Chef Ton, Taiwan and Thailand have remarkably comparable landscapes and hospitable populations. Additionally, he added that although the ingredients used in Taiwan and Thailand are relatively similar, the two countries have entirely different meals and flavors, which also serves as a great source of inspiration for him to try different things.
