ROYALEYS SMOKY BOAT
Smoky Boat RiceRoyaleys Smoky Boat
Our first chef at Chef X @ Clarke Quay Central is Royaleys Smoky Boat, operating from 26 Apr to 21 June 2024. We spoke to founder, Sydnee, to find out more about her journey.
It was during 2020 where the uncertainty of the pandemic hit that Sydnee found herself drawn to the kitchen. Cooking became her solace, a way to express love for her family through steaming plates and warm aromas. Soon, she found herself sharing these meals with friends, sending them care packages of flavours.
The surprise on their faces was Sydnee’s reward, they inched her to start selling but the thought of commerce never crossed her mind. It was about passion and the pure love of creating something delicious and sharing it with loved ones for her.
Fast forward a year, the whispers about her cooking had grown, not through paid marketing but through the honest recommendations of friends turned fans. This outpouring of love and loyalty was more than heartwarming, it was inspiring. It was the push Sydnee never knew she needed, the spark that ignited the flame of a new dream – Royaleys Smoky Boat.
Being a part of Chef X @ Clarke Quay Central
Sydnee is incredibly honored to be a part of Chef X and to be the very first resident chef. This exciting opportunity allows her to connect personally with her beloved regulars and forge relationships with new customers, a stark contrast to running her business from home where face-to-face interactions were limited.

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.
