Themed “Molecular and Physical Gastronomy: Key to Culinary Innovation,” this session celebrated the intersection of science and culinary art, marking a momentous occasion as Le Cordon Bleu commemorates its 130th anniversary.
To mark this historic celebration, Tan Sri Sir Dr. Jeffrey Cheah, Professor Dato’ Elizabeth Lee, Charles Cointreau and Prof Hervé commemorated the occasion in a special 130th Anniversary cake-cutting ceremony, honouring Le Cordon Bleu’s legacy of global culinary excellence spanning over a century.

His insights continue to shape the evolution of modern cuisine, merging scientific curiosity with gastronomic creativity.
The event at Sunway University was the culmination of a remarkable series of engagements conducted in collaboration with Sunway Le Cordon Bleu and its partners.
A public session was held on “Learning Through Taste: The Science Behind Tomorrow’s Food” at Petrosains, featuring an engaging exploration of how sensory science influences the future of food. Attendees included students of Lycée Français de Kuala Lumpur (French School of KL), encouraging young minds to connect science with culinary innovation.
There was also a demonstration on “Creating Tomorrow’s Cuisine: New Trends and Transformations in Culinary Art” at Sunway Le Cordon Bleu, and “The Science Behind Taste: Innovations in Culinary Art”, hosted in collaboration with Alliance Française Kuala Lumpur. Children also had a chance to participate in “Flavour Experimental Workshop for Kids”, an interactive learning experience.
