He’s the chef behind Restaurant André, ranked 6 on San Pellegrino’s Asia’s 50 Best. André has been rocking Singapore’s food scene for five years now as he continues to create delectable French nouvelle cuisine out of the freshest seasonal produce based on his octaphilosophy. His food is so good that The New York Times even included his place in the list of ten restaurants worth jumping in the plane for. Among the dishes he has become recognized for is the one called Memory, composed of warm foie gras jelly and black truffle coulis.
