Allen (Hsing Wei Chen)

Specialties

Chocolate Panettone.

Vanilla is my absolute favorite spice. I discovered PROVA Gourmet products during my years working in France and was immediately captivated by their exceptional quality. The exacting standards and passion this company dedicates to vanilla resonate perfectly with my own product philosophy: a constant pursuit of excellence and authentic flavor.

His journey

Born into a family of pastry chefs, Chef Allen grew up immersed in the world of fine food. After honing his skills in several prestigious hotels in Taiwan from the age of 16, he moved to France in 2012 to further refine his expertise. There, he worked for several years alongside MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) Yann Brys, an experience that profoundly shaped his technique. Upon returning to Taiwan, he took over the three family shops, "Chung Tung." In 2023, he embarked on a new chapter by opening "Brillant Pâtisserie," his fourth establishment, dedicated to the excellence of French pastry.
