世界で活躍するトップシェフたちも訪れる、マレーシア・ペナン島の「Root House by Gēn 根家菜」。 ここの中国料理、めっちゃおいしかったです！ 手がけるのは、ペナン島のファインダイニング「Gēn（根）」のオーナーシェフ、Johnson Wong（ジョンソン・ウォン）氏。「Gēn」は「Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026」で89位にランクインしている注目店です。 「Root House by Gēn 根家菜」は、2026年にオープンした中国料理レストラン。ジョージタウンにある歴史的な建物を活用した「1926 Heritage Hotel」の中にあります。 こちらのテーマは、店名にもある「根（Root）」。 マレーシアには、福建、福州、広東、潮州、客家、海南など、さまざまな地域をルーツに持つ華人たちが暮らしています。同店では、こうした中国系移民の、伝統的な家庭料理や郷土料理を現代的な視点で再解釈しています。ジョンソンシェフは、それぞれの料理が持つ歴史や地域性を大切にしながら、マレーシアの食材や調味料、現代的な調理技術を取り入れます。 伝統的な中国料理のおいしさを大切にしながら、食材の組み合わせや盛り付けにも工夫があり、ファインダイニングで培った感性が随所に感じられます。 それでいて、難しく考えずに「おいしい！」と楽しめるのが魅力。しっかりとした旨味があり、どの料理も箸が進みました。 ペナン島の豊かな食文化と、ジョンソンシェフの料理に対する情熱を感じる一軒でした。 Root House by Gēn 根家菜 @roothousebygen Gēn（根） @genpenang Johnson Wongシェフ @veryveryverybigburger2.0 1926 Heritage Hotel @1926heritagehotelpg 予島YUDAO（台湾）Nickシェフ @nickyangpowei August（ジャカルタ）Budi @bwcahyadi フーディー詩文さん @travel_foodie_tokyo #asia50bestrestaurant

Madder roots for @roothousebygen Beneath the soil, roots grow quietly, anchoring a plant before anything becomes visible above the ground Before a meal reaches the table, there are roots, ingredients, the land and the hands that bring everything together The natural dye hanging piece becomes a gentle reminder of where things begin, and of the beautiful unseen connections that nourish us In a space where food brings people together, this piece is a small reminder of our connection to the earth, from the roots beneath the soil to the things we share at the table A little tone, rooted in nature hand-dyed @sputnikforest 📸 @sputnikforest

Honoured to serve as an Asia Taste Advisor for the @chineserestaurantawards 2026, a programme founded in Vancouver in 2008 that has grown into a celebration of Chinese cuisine and the people behind it across Canada, the United States and Asia. As a Malaysian Chinese of Cantonese and Hokkien descent, I grew up with this food at the family table, and seeing it celebrated on this stage is more than I ever imagined. Representing Malaysia, this year’s Top 50 Honourees include Restaurant Shu, Xip Wah Lau and Yun House among the Elite 25, alongside Fifty Tales, Gerai Makanan Sai Kee, Hai Kah Lang, Peng Chu, Roothouse by Gen and The Teochew Club among the Essential 25. Swipe for the full list.

Every Chinese family in Malaysia has a dish that tastes like home, but "home" means something different in every dialect. At Root House by gēn, Chef Johnson Wong traces how those recipes changed when they reached Malaysian soil, and what local produce did to them. Hakka lei cha, Fuzhou red wine chicken, Hokkien cheong fun, each one a small history lesson you can eat. We came for dinner and left with a new way of seeing food we thought we knew. 📍 @roothousebygen Penang #RootHouseByGen #JJinPenang #PenangBestEats #PenangFood #PenangRestaurant
