About the chef

In his childhood, Chef Fredric spent much of his childhood peeling buah keluak and sampling rempah for the many Nyonya dishes that filled his family’s dinner table. And who better to learn from in the kitchen than your own grandmother, particularly if she is the matriarch of a Peranakan family!

From a NITEC in Western Culinary Arts, Chef Fredric got his start in the F&B industry training under renowned Italian chef Mario Caramella at Forlino and the now-defunct inITALY. He also experienced stints in Extra Virgin Pizza, The Lokal, and Teepee Bar & Restaurant, learning to reinterpret traditional flavours into modern, swoonworthy fare. He articulates his craft best, "Writers pen stories through words and I share my family’s stories through food."
