Tan Ding Jie: “I never really appreciated cooking or Singaporean cuisine until I went to the UK to study. Over there, you really see what everywhere else has to offer. Even though there were a lot of Singaporeans in London, strangely enough, you don’t see a lot of Singaporean restaurants. Coming back to Singapore, that was when I started to rediscover Singaporean cuisine. I realized that we have such a rich history, our cuisine is so interesting and intricate – it tells stories about who we are and where we came from. You can trace the provenance of these ingredients and I thought, if there was going to be a story to tell, I wanted to tell a story of local Asian ferments.”
