Oh Chong Hau takes top prize in Hennessy MyWay 2025 Malaysia finals

At the KLCW 2025 Festival Village in Sentul Depot, Hennessy hosted the Hennessy MyWay 2025 Malaysia finals — featuring six mixologists from Malaysia. The bartenders who showcased their creative cocktails on stage were Camen Chung of Cabinet 8 KL, Ivon Soon of Frank’s Bar, Oh Chong Hau of The Nest Cocktail Bar, Rendey Ray of Rhu Bar, John Lim of The Riff District and Justin Yow of Good Friends Club.

The crowd and the panel of judges (comprising Julien Pepin Lehalleur, Laura Drozdowski Lot, Chong Wai Keng, Katelyn Tan, Peter Chua and Rachel Tann) watched on as the mixologists crafted their respective drinks on stage — creating cocktails based on the theme of sustainability. Ultimately, it was The Nest Cocktail Bar’s Oh Chong Hau who won the top prize with his creation: ‘The Golden Fondue’. The cocktail was concocted using Hennessy V.S.O.P and consists of pandan leaf, gula kabung and apple juice. Served alongside a crispy duck skin, ‘The Golden Fondue’ comes topped with pumpkin cheese foam. Earning himself the Malaysia Champion title, Oh Chong Hau will head to Cognac, France later this year as he represents Malaysia at the Global Finals.
