Meet Generation T Caleb NG

Introducing the game-changing young talents on Hong Kong Tatler’s Generation T List. This month—a forward-thinking entrepreneur who wants to reshape the food industry.

Caleb Ng discovered his love of cooking as a child alongside his twin brother, Joshua. Fast-forward 20 years, and the brothers’ culinary empire, Twins Kitchen, runs restaurants and projects around the globe. Recent initiatives closer to home include a pop-up event space, Preset, as well as Hong Kong’s first “culinary incubator,” Taste Kitchen, which offers a platform for young kitchen talents to test their ideas and find an audience. Here, Caleb introduces his work in his own words.

In some ways the food industry is stuck in the Stone Age.

I’m always testing its boundaries because a lot needs to be changed—bullying in the kitchen and excessive food waste, to name just a couple. I’m trying to find more innovative ways to do things and always looking to the future—asking myself what F&B will look like in 20 years.

The lifespan of a restaurant is getting ever shorter.
