The three best dishes of S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Grand Finale 2025 according to the Grand Jury.
✨ Winner for Asia region: Chef @theardiffer Ardy Ferguson x mentor @chefvickylau from @mora_hongkong*
« Culinary Archipelago » reimagines Indonesia’s nasi tumpeng - a yellow cone-shaped rice dish with meat and vegetables - through the lens of Hong Kong fine dining, where Indonesian-Canadian Ardy Ferguson works at @belonhk. He chose to serve this emblematic rice dish with a complex version of lacquered duck, and accompanied it with a rich coconut gravy on duck spiced sate.
✨ The other two dishes:
France was competing with Antonis Avouri and mentor chef @alexandremazzia, from AM restaurant*** in Marseille.
With “the consequences of our actions”, they were reflecting about the impact of human actions on the planet. “As chefs we have a responsability. We don’t have to waste ressources. And we also have to work with invasive species like blue crab » said Alexandre Mazzia.
Cypriot @antonis_avouri offered a silky dish playing on blue crab and squid, and inspired by gemista (stuffed vegetables) from his country.
Noah Wynants @noahwynants, a Belgian chef from Leuven, who was competing for North Europe with his mentor @nelsontanate from @delibrijezwolle*** was praised for his entirely vegan Dutch Rendang.
Usually made with beef, it was reimagined here with organic vegetables coming from the Netherlands, like eggplants and shiitakes, crunchy pumpkin seeds and a « very comforting sauce that binds everything together » said @chef_julien Royer member of the Grand Jury.

Amazing lunch earlier this month at Kiyama in Kyoto! Run by Chef Yoshiro Kiyama, the meal was great from start to finish.
The first course was one of my favourite. Peanut kudzu tofu with vinegared fish, fried ginkgo nuts, and trout roe.
The Ayu fish tempura course was a close second!
Amazing hospitality and food. Would definitely come back next time I’m in Kyoto.

Two global champions, two regional winners and one grand juror. This was arguably the most exclusive invite in the city during #50BestWeek — a celebration of the next generation of culinary talent. ✨
The @sanpellegrino_youngchef Academy luncheon, hosted by @louise.hkg , showcased the breadth and depth of international gastronomy. Young chefs connected with peers, learned from legends, and shared inspiring stories — like @kevinwongxx cooking alongside his former mentor @chef_julien.
🔥 Applications for the San Pellegrino Young Chef Academy are open until June 9, with regional finals later this year. More information in the link below.

What to say about Milan? It’s hard to put into words meeting so many talented Chefs from around the world. From young talents to established Chefs I’ve looked up to from the start of my career it was incredible being able to learn from each of them.
I’m grateful for all the support I’ve received over the past 2 years from friends, family, and the community at @blacksheeprestaurants and @belonhk. Thank you to everyone at @sanpellegrino_youngchef for putting on an incredible event!
Being able to represent Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Asia was a task I didn’t take lightly and it was a great honour to be able to do so. Seeing the Archipelago Celebration on the world stage was as an incredible feeling years in the making!
If you’re a young chef under 30 reading this do yourself a favour and apply!

“Cooking wasn’t always part of the plan,” says Ardy Ferguson, sous chef at Belon, a one-Michelin-star restaurant in Hong Kong. “I was actually originally in engineering.”
He recently won the sixth San Pellegrino Young Chef Academy (SPYCA) competition and with it the title of the world’s best young chef.
With this victory, Ferguson, who won the best chef award at the inaugural Young Chef Young Waiter Hong Kong contest in 2023, has confirmed Hong Kong’s status as a hub of world-class culinary talent.
