Interests:

Passionate about culinary experiences from all aspects from: hosting, experimental cooking to exploring new dining opportunities across different forms- Street food, cafes to Michelin starred restaurants both locally and globally. My foray into getting a first hand in real cooking took off during days as an undergraduate in Australia where i was an overseas student living in the dormitory with 7 other housemates. As a child, i always watched and was mum's sous chef, so with some basic knowledge i naturally took on the role as the dorm chef- from handling the grocery funds to whipping up meals for 6-10 almost daily while coping with project work during school term was challenging but totally enjoyable as food brings people together. My housemates and i would sit and chat over the food- exchanging feedbacks and during our conversations, we learnt about each other's cultures and diversities and certainly bonds have been built with some solid friendships that took us from university days right until today spanning globally. That said, I host a multitude of informal sessions from a mix of heritage of cusines from Straits Chinese, Singapore Local delicacies to Korean bbq and Samgetong (Korean Korean Ginseng Chicken broth) Japanese Ramen and all izakaya and the likes of Cantonese fares as well. Given my propensity to personal branding. My goal is always to ensure that my guest leave with memories and experiences of the gathering sessions which typically is a 360 experience that encompasses the 5 senses: Visially appealing - Food is well plated with the right mix of cutleries and cockey, Taste- Food quality has to be of a level that I am pleased with, Touch- I like to engage my guest either through DIY, Chatters- Ensure the right mix of crowd for the synergy, Sounds/ Touch:- Ambience setting must be set with the type of food to be served for the evening. The outcome:- A wonderful experience leaving one with memories to take home and treasure.
