Hong Kong-born chef Edward Lee opened his restaurant Udtryk (pronounced \u201coot-trehk\u201d) in Copenhagen, Denmark, on May 7. Just 41 days later, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star \u2013 one of the quickest on record.<\/p>\n

Lee says winning the star was a huge surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an absolute shock to the system on the night,\u201d says the 38-year-old chef. \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely wonderful. To go from zero to one star so quickly without a big-name chef or anything, that\u2019s something to be proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee may not yet be a big-name chef, but Udtryk has certainly got the culinary world talking.<\/p>\n

The restaurant melds Chinese with Nordic, French and Japanese approaches. Named after the Danish word for \u201cexpression\u201d, it is the articulation of Lee\u2019s gastronomic personality developed over the past two decades on opposite sides of the world.<\/p>\n

At Udtryk, he draws heavily on his Hong Kong heritage. He only lived in the city until the age of five, but he often returns to visit family. He grew up in Sydney but kept connected to Hong Kong\u2019s food culture through Sydney\u2019s substantial Chinatown and Chinese neighbourhoods. The move to Australia instilled in him a lifelong fascination for different cultures and cuisines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
