Part 2/4
When it comes to collaborations, Danny Yip, the man behind The Chairman, always does it right—and great. Because he takes each and every one of these events seriously. He would visit the cooking venue months ahead. He would take pains to understand his collaborators, the cooking techniques involved, the ingredients available locally, and many other things. I have attended a number of his dinners, and never found anything wanting (that’s a lot coming from me!).

This time round, Danny cooks with Kevin Wong (one of my favourite chefs in Sg) and hosts Chef Cho Eun-hee and Chef Park Seong-bae (Onjium). It was a meeting of Chinese, SE Asian, and Korean cultures; yet the flavours worked as one—with the different ‘schools’ tickling the tastebuds in their own way, without clash or imbalance. Overall, the flow was seamless. And I tasted new ways of mixing and matching ingredients that overturned tropes and traditional ‘rules’ of cooking. It was an eye-opener for me.

Thank you for a truly educational and delicious experience.
