Get to know me better

Cooks with soul and serves a piece of my heart in every plate

An intuitive chef who learned to cook at home from a young age, and took an in-depth culinary education at Enderun Colleges before going to Paris, France to enhance my techniques and broaden my culinary horizon.

Out of passion for cooking, I specifically chose to become a virtuoso of the French cuisine - cooking techniques which I believe to be the most masterful and refined. And I use these sophisticated methods to combine different flavors from around the world to create unique dishes of exquisite quality bespoke to your preferences and dietary requirements. This way, I am able to create dishes with depth and layers of flavors and textures that you and your loved ones will truly enjoy while sharing your special moment together.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

..a noble profession that brings to people the most basic of needs - food, in a way that gives a delightful and memorable experience to diners.

I learned to cook at...

..home. And I have further refined my skills at Restaurant Aux Lyonnais by one of the most celebrated modern chefs, the great Chef Alain Ducasse.

A cooking secret...

..using high quality ingredients and applying cooking techniques that highlight its natural flavors. No shortcuts.
