Chef Chiang: A Personal Connection to Singapore

At 48, Chef Chiang, renowned for revolutionizing the fusion of French and Asian cuisines, expresses excitement about reconnecting with his Singaporean audience: "I call Singapore the home of ‘grown-up Andre.’ This restaurant will be a deeply personal creation for the vibrant Singapore scene."

From Michelin Stars to New Beginnings

Previously steering the successful Restaurant Andre and Raw in Taipei—both awarded two Michelin stars—Chef Chiang is no stranger to the culinary spotlight. Most recently, he opened Bon Broth, an upscale hotpot restaurant at Raffles City, adding to his impressive gastronomic repertoire.

A Momentous Collaboration

Raffles Hotel Singapore’s managing director, Mr. Christian Westbeld, declares this restaurant launch as a monumental chapter in the hotel’s illustrious history, which has been a canvas for culinary excellence for over a century. He notes, "This partnership is a unique opportunity to showcase Chef Chiang's extraordinary vision intertwined with Raffles’ legendary status on the global dining stage.”

A Culinary Artistry in Writing

This partnership follows Chef Chiang’s noteworthy role as Raffles Hotel’s writer-in-residence, where he followed illustrious predecessors like travel writer Pico Iyer and poet Madeleine Lee. Chiang, the very first chef to take on this role, aims to weave together the art of food and the craft of storytelling.

Fragments of Time - A Reflection of Culinary Journeys

His time at the hotel inspired him to encapsulate his experiences in a book titled 'Fragments Of Time,' released on April 15. This 200-page tribute explores the intertwining of history, food, and culture within the splendor of Raffles Hotel, available for $98 at local boutiques and online.

In Conclusion: A Gastronomic Journey Awaits
