POPO’S KITCHEN

Popo’s Kitchen 

 

Our third chef at Chef X @ Clarke Quay Central is Popo’s Kitchen, operating from 5 September to 30 October 2024. We spoke to founder, Jasmine, to find out more about her journey.

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.

Being a part of Chef X @ Clarke Quay Central

 

After three years of operating a home-based business, Jasmine is ready to expand and reach a wider audience. Chef X presents a valuable opportunity to test the market and assess the viability of a commercial venture.

Located near offices, Chef X will allow her to cater to both the office crowd and individuals seeking to try Popo's Kitchen without the need for pre-orders. This will provide a convenient and accessible way to introduce her food to a new customer base.

About Chef X @ Clarke Quay Central

 

Chef X @ Clarke Quay Central is an initiative by Far East Organization that provides home-based chefs and private dining chefs with a sandbox to operate their own full-fledged commercial restaurant within Clarke Quay Central mall for four or eight weeks. From 26 April 2024, each resident chef will serve out of a professionally designed F&B space fitted with commercial-grade kitchen equipment, with a dining area that can accommodate up to 24 diners.

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.
