Khanh Ong is an Australian cook, television personality, author and restaurateur. He was as a contestant in the tenth season of MasterChef Australia, and later appeared on the twelfth season, MasterChef: Back to Win.[1]
Ong was born in an Indonesian refugee camp to Vietnamese parents, where he spent the first couple of years of his life. He arrived in Australia in the early 1990s and his family settled in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne. His parents owned a butcher shop, which started his love for food. He later attended Haileybury in high school and found a love for making clothes.[2] When Ong was fifteen, his father died from liver cancer.[3] He eventually started a certificate in pattern making, garment construction and fashion business from the Melbourne School of Fashion.[4]
