MasterChef Australia 2018 winner Shashi Chelia has launched his first restaurant in India, Pandan Club, at T Nagar, Chennai.

Born in Singapore and raised in Adelaide, Chelia says she chose Chennai because it is steeped in tradition and the city is always hungry for new flavours.

Pandan Club has a unique Peranakan Malaysian menu. Since the Peranakans are Chinese who have adopted Malay culture, there is a strong Malaysian influence in their cooking.
