Deric Fong, known as Wei, opened Whisked the Right Wei at the former Choux Cafe site in Swanbourne in late July 2023. The opening brought him back to the kitchen where he began learning French pastry from Emmanuel Mollois—and gave him a way to honor the promise he made to his mentor to share the recipes he had been taught.
Where Whisked the Right Wei opened
Whisked the Right Wei opened at 93 Shenton Road, Swanbourne, in premises previously occupied by Choux Cafe. PerthNow reported on 3 August 2023 that Fong had opened the café the previous Tuesday, placing its opening in late July. PerthNow’s report
Fong’s path from apprentice to café owner
Learning at Choux Cafe
Fong began working at Choux Cafe in 2010 as an apprentice. There, Mollois taught him French pastry and desserts. Returning to the same kitchen years later felt “unreal,” Fong told PerthNow. PerthNow’s account of Fong’s return
From Choux to Bistro des Artistes
In 2013, when Mollois opened Bistro des Artistes in Subiaco, he brought Fong on as head pastry chef. Before the restaurant opened, Fong and Mollois travelled to Paris, where Fong learned from Mollois’s mentor, Denis Ruffel. PerthNow’s career timeline

PerthNow reported that Mollois died from bone cancer in 2017. Fong spoke about the loss and the knowledge he still wished he could have gained: “I miss him, of course, because he passed away quite young and I still had a lot to learn from him, but unfortunately I can’t,” he said. PerthNow’s interview
The promise behind the opening
Fong said he had promised Mollois that if he ever opened his own shop, he would share the recipes Mollois had taught him. He described that commitment as a way to keep both the recipes and their shared memories alive: “But I just have to keep my promise and the memories we made in France.” PerthNow’s interview
