With more than 35 years of experience under his belt, the 51-year-old Chef Yong Bing Ngen is the Chef-owner of three chinese restaurants in Singapore. He believes that a good Chinese chef should have a solid basic foundation of Chinese cooking skills and also be continuously exposed to the different ingredients and produce available in the market. Harmoniously introducing new ingredients which he discovers into his menu is his guiding culinary philosophy. The Malaysian-born chef aims to continue to innovate and push culinary boundaries while keeping true to the roots of Chinese cooking.
