Celebrity chef Christine Huyen Tran Hà will be presenting her gourmet dishes at Ozone restaurant, located in the Ritz-Carlton, from 28 June to 1 July. Diners will be treated to a delectable range of seasonal dishes like seafood ceviche, a Texas fried chicken sandwich and Korean Wagyu beef tacos.
What sets her apart from other celebrity chefs is that she was able to give shape to her culinary vision without being able to physically see. A rare disorder robbed her of eyesight, but she did not let her dreams die.
In 2012, Chef Hà defeated over 30,000 home cooks across America to win the highly sought-after MasterChef US title. Gordon Ramsay, the show’s judge, commends her highly, claiming that her palate is more refined than that of many Michelin-starred chefs.
Her achievements did not stop there. She went on to add more feathers to her cap, from hosting TV cooking shows to writing cookbooks to winning the Helen Keller Personal Achievement Award in 2014. Through her success story, she hopes to inspire others – and not just those who face physical challenges, but anyone who wants to take a leap of faith.
