Jermain was a mere 26 years old with no culinary experience when he became infected with the cooking bug. Now at the age of 34, he is the owner of his own restaurant, De Rozario – which was awarded a Michelin star this year.
Over the years, Jermain has developed his own style, throwing out the culinary rulebook and cooking only what he likes. The 2019 Michelin Guide says Jermain “combines and presents Indonesian and Asian flavors with a lot of creativity. Playful at times, but always striking. A kitchen with punch and finesse!”
