15 minutes with our Head Chef
Wai Lan is Head Chef at Drunken Monkey in Shoreditch. Although the restaurant is known for its cocktails, Wai Lan has introduced a traditional Chinese oven and revolutionised the dim sum menu. Born in Liverpool, Wai Lan moved back to Hong Kong with his parents when he was four and lived there for ten years before returning to the UK. He has been cooking at Drunken Monkey for the past six years, and only took time off last year for five months to revisit China and reinvigorate his cooking.
