Apart from physical resources, resident chefs will be offered guidance. They can look forward to receiving advice and tips - from menu planning, food presentation and recipe refinements, to business and human resource management, from Chef Isaac Tan, Head of Culinary & Product Innovations for Commonwealth Concepts (CWC), the F&B joint venture between Commonwealth Capital and Far East Organization. An industry veteran who has led dining institutions such as Bedrock Bar & Grill since its inception in 2008, Chef Isaac Tan currently steers 12 distinct brands under the group, including Fat Cow, Kinki Restaurant + Bar, and The Marmalade Pantry.
Each resident chef, who will helm the restaurant for four or eight weeks, will showcase their culinary skills and individual styles, cooking at the unit for dine-in customers, with the option of takeaway. The current line-up will see a rotating roster of four home chefs, cuisines ranging from asian platters, to heartwarming food inspired by grandmother’s kitchen and Korean kimchi-based dishes, to Japanese bentos and a seven course omakase.
Our third chef is Popo’s Kitchen, operating from 5 September to 30 October 2024. We spoke to founder, Jasmine, to find out more about her journey.
Popo's Kitchen
For two decades, Jasmine dedicated her life to nurturing young minds in the preschool sector. Now, it's time to turn her attention to another passion: food.
Inspired by her mother, a culinary icon in the family, Jasmine has always loved cooking. During the pandemic, she had the opportunity to explore this love more deeply, crafting meals for friends and family. While she started with Western and Italian cuisine, her heart has always yearned to recreate the traditional Chinese dishes that have shaped her taste buds.
Popo's Kitchen is a tribute to her grandmother, who was adored by her grandchildren. Like her, Jasmine believes in the power of comfort food to nourish both the body and the soul. Just as Jasmine approached childcare with care and dedication, she brings the same level of attention to her cooking. Her goal is to create wholesome, flavourful dishes that are both simple and satisfying.
