Combining a decade-and-a-half of culinary sharpening around the globe with a relentless pursuit for excellence, Area Executive Chef Lim Tzer Chuan presides over an 80-strong culinary team of Botanica+Co. Rising through the ranks with sheer perseverance and long hours in the kitchen, Chef Chuan’s appetite for sharpening his skills and finesse puts him at the lead of one of Kuala Lumpur’s most appraised restaurants.

A self-professed travel nomad in his years before settling back in Kuala Lumpur, Chef Chuan trained intensely and lived on-board cruise liners for two full years sailing through the Mediterranean Sea, East and South China Sea. This exposed him to the profound food and culture of Greece, Italy, Egypt, Croatia, Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan. Following which, he moved to Singapore for the next decade where he polished his craft in the kitchens of Marriot Hotel, Carlton Hotel and Stellar at 1-Altitude. Since moving back to Kuala Lumpur in 2016, Chef Chuan joined Botanica+Co and rose to the ranks today with impressive professionalism, creativity and passion.
