“I have come back to my roots, and it feels really good,” said Dan, who will be serving up Hainanese Chicken Rice, Siu Mai, Char Siu Bao, chicken and pandan broth and Hong Kong Ice Milk Tea from 1 June.

“Making my food as accessible as possible is important to me so there will be a range of dishes from as little as £6 on the menu.

“The origins of my food lie in simple dishes made on the streets of Asia, so to cook them at the home of street food in Birmingham, Hockley Social Club, is going to be a great buzz.”

Dan grew up in Birmingham and was introduced to cooking at his auntie's Chinese takeaway, inspiring him to start his training at University College Birmingham. 

Spending much of the next decade in Singapore, he gathered culinary inspiration from many sources in the Far East and combined them with the influences of his upbringing in the UK, creating a style of modern European and Asian cuisine which won over the judges in the MasterChef: The Professionals competition.
