PETALING JAYA, June 4 — World-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay may have 16 Michelin stars under his belt but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to stop learning.
The top chef was grateful to be mentored by none other than William Wongso, an Indonesian food legend who wasted no time in schooling Ramsay about the country’s cuisine. “Uncharted for me was all about going back to learning. It’s everything I’ve always wanted when it comes to understanding a different culture,” said Ramsay when met by journalists on set in Bukittinggi in January.
“Indonesian cuisine sometimes gets lost in translation and until you actually come here, you don’t understand how individual it is. In each Uncharted episode, Ramsay participates in culinary customs in the places he visits and learns about the complexities behind the delicacies and flavours that make up the local palate.
“When you get to a stage of success with one, two, three Michelin stars, a lot of people stop learning. I am adamant that I need to continue learning.”
