The blend of art and science captivated him, and he committed to mastering the craft, learning from renowned chefs like Jean Francois Arnaud and Niklesh Sharma. When The Dough Collapsed… But mastery doesn’t come without some bumps… or in this case, collapses. Fast forward to the 2013 World Cup in Lyon—Wei Loon and his team prepared tirelessly. But disaster struck just 5 minutes before the presentation: one of their masterpieces collapsed. Years of effort reduced to heartbreak. “It was devastating,” he said. “For me. My team.

In 2019, he and his team redefined pastry art, winning the World Cup and becoming Malaysia’s first champions. His story proves that failure is just a stepping stone to greatness.
