Cooking is one of Miko’s forms of bonding with his family. Every Sundays, he prepares breakfast for them. From his first Beef Broccoli dish when he was just 8 years old, Miko has developed his cooking skills—from his knives skills to developing his taste palette.

No stranger to the show because of the Australian version, Miko became excited the moment he learned the call for local auditions for the Pinoy Edition. He knew immediately that it was his chance to be a step closer to becoming a professional chef. Outside the kitchen, Miko is also a varsity basketball player in school.
