Working in resorts such as P&O at the world renowned Great Barrier Reef, Four Points by Sheraton and part of pre-opening team at the Raffles’ Merchant Court in Sydney. Matthew moved to the dynamic restaurant industry as sous chef and head chef at renowned Sydney restaurants.

Here he was exposed to cuisines from all over the world and enjoyed his tenure with his multi-cultural brigade of chefs.
Matthew joined Fusion Maia Da Nang as Executive Chef to be part of the creation process. As a young chef eager to learn, he is excited with all the local, fresh produce available. At the resorts’ signature restaurant, FIVE, he plans to display his own interpretations of Pan-Asian cuisine, using his exposure and experience to many cuisines and passing this on to his brigade.
