After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu Sydney, Johnson spent years on culinary adventures around the world, honing his skills at some of the finest kitchens across the globe — from Michelin Starred Restaurants to those on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, including Noma in Copenhagen, Joel Robuchon in Macao, and Restaurant Kei in Paris.
After serving as Executive Chef at Macalister Mansion in Penang, Johnson founded Gēn 根 in 2018 — a Malaysian Cuisine Restaurant born from his devotion to local ingredients, heritage flavours, and a deep desire to share his love and passion for food with local patrons.
