East meets West

Nostalgia. The most powerful seasoning that turns raw ingredients into influential gratifying dishes. Thus, I chose peranakan. Growing up in a modernized Peranakan family directed my unique pattern in my cooking – combination of peranakan flavours and westernized flair. I always believed that a dish should amplify a chef’s individual personality. Hence, in all my creations, my diners will get to know a little bit of me each time. That’s what food is all about in my kitchen – the unexpected explosion of savors and culture.
