His Malaysian culinary journey kicked off in 2014 as a Chef de Cuisine for an international chain, before collaborating with Vantador Steakhouse.

As Chef de Cuisine for PRIME, Moya hopes his latest venture will further motivate him professionally and personally as he assumes responsibility for PRIME’s food standards, kitchen operations, menu curation, cost management, and staff betterment.
