YOU know how late bloomers work. They waffle about, giving little inkling of the greatness they’re capable of. Then suddenly, they make the kind of transformation that causes you to sit back and go, “wow”.
Meta chef Sun Kim is a little like that. His waffling days have long past since he first opened the restaurant in 2015 – we were convinced he’d fully bloomed when he moved to his second location in 2020. But now, at Meta’s current iteration in Mohamed Sultan, you wonder if the smell of paint and the excitement of moving to new digs triggered a spike in his dopamine levels – because version three is his most polished effort yet.
