Chris Chung and Christian Touche each wanted a restaurant that reflected his particular background. Chung, who had trained as a sashimi chef, had become a local celebrity working at Uni, while the French-born Touche, who was the general manager at Clio, dreamed of owning a bistro. So how did they handle the conflict when they became partners? Simple: Rather than opening a fusion restaurant, they decided to create two restaurants in one. The result: Diners can choose to stick with one cuisine or the other, or they can start their meal with Chung's succulent creations, like Hawaiian poke with sweet onions and spicy and pickled mung beans, and finish it off with duck confit. "Who knew the combination could be so good?" is how one reacted to what might be the oddest pairing since Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett. |
