AS EXECUTIVE CHEF OF INTERCONTINENTAL SINGAPORE, CHEF ERIC HAS MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF CULINARY EXPERIENCE AND IS THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE SINGAPORE CHEFS’ ASSOCIATION. CONGRATULATIONS CHEF ERIC!
We’ve got the latest scoop on his plan to take Singapore’s culinary industry to greater heights…
What are some new initiatives that you’ll be introducing?
We’re developing a scholarship programme specially for young chefs and they will be mentored by the National Culinary Team and professional chefs. After their training, they will join our National Team and we believe they will make us proud on the world’s stage.

Our multiracial society and the abundance of international cuisines which allows our chefs to creatively combine different cuisines to create something even more spectacular.
Where’s your go-to place for a good meal?
I really enjoy our local comfort food like chicken rice, laksa and kway chap, but if I had to choose, I’d recommend Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck!
