Chef Kian Lam Kho, the author of Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees, will be a guest chef at Meiji Japanese Cuisine until Feb 25 as part of Fayetteville Restaurant Week.

• From software to food: Growing up in Singapore, Chef Kian began his career as an aerospace engineer and software developer for Wall Street before eventually transitioning to pursue food and writing. 
• Programming flavor: Like coding a computer program, Chef Kian enjoys experimenting with recipes and ingredients to deliver a unique dish, taking liberties to make them his own while preserving the different cultures behind them.
