Born in Penang, Malaysia, Chef Khoo started out with his family in the catering business, delivering food on a bicycle.
He joined the Golden Sands Beach Resort in Panang as a kitchen artist, mainly doing ice sculptures and tallow work.
His first break came when he was offered a job as assistant chef garde manger in Bermuda at the Southampton Princess in 1987. After three months, the garde manger chef left and Khoo was promoted, where he stayed for three and a half years.
In 1990 he joined The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead in Atlanta as assistant garde manger chef, where he won best of show in food competition. After a year, he joined The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island, Florida, as an opening team member and garde manger chef. In his six years there, he headed all areas of the kitchen as cafe, banquet chef, and finally executive sous chef, before moving to the Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas as executive chef. Since taping for Great Chefs, Khoo has taught, worked at the Ritz-Carlton Bali, and has now moved to the Ocean Palace Resort and Spa in Long Branch, New Jersey.
