I’m frugal with compliments; but Labyrinth’s latest menu has me singing like a bird. The concept, technique, flow of flavours, and sequencing of dishes speaks of the maturity of chef Han Liguang and his team.

They have delved deep into the history and development of Sg street food. They have unearthed old, almost forgotten recipes and given these heirlooms a modern spin. More importantly, their refreshed approach is no longer “in your face”. There’s much subtlety here. Up-to-date techniques were used to extract essential flavours; which were then juxtaposed on the plate with delicacy.

This is definitely my kind of food! Congrats, chefs Han, Zee, James, Shaun and the team! Less

A couple of dishes truly stood out at Yong Fu, Singapore. The charsiew was surprisingly yummy and the durian cake (dessert) easily puts many local durian desserts to shame. My favourite was the razor clam consommé - the ‘less is more’ recipe was divine!

I was privileged to witness the collaboration of Executive Chef Tam Kwok Fung x Chef-owner Wu Rong in the Wynn Guest Chef Dining Series.

While chef Tam needs no introduction—especially within Cantonese gastronomy in Asia—chef Wu Rong is an elusive Fujian Masterchef behind a number of famous Fujian restaurants in China. He is also shifu to chef Chen Zhiping of famed Meet The Bund in Shanghai.

The dishes of chef Wu were executed in the purest Fujian tradition—subtle, balanced and highly refined in flavour. Meanwhile, chef Tam’s versatility shone through Cantonese dishes done in his signature style—experimental, innovative and sometimes witty.

Part 3/3
So happy to participate in the 2nd anniversary dinner of Seroja. Instead of helming the stage alone, chef Kevin Wong invited 3 of his chef buddies to cook together. They were chef Barry Quek (Whey, HK); chef Hans Christian (August, Jakarta); and chef Shaun Ng (Hide, KL).

Although based in different cities, they shared a similar cultural upbringing and heritage. Hence, their flavours synchronised and the courses flowed in harmony without losing their individuality.

In fact, I was playfully guessing who was behind each dish.

Another bonus was I got to know more friends - the chefs and their teams.
