I had the privilege of interviewing several remarkable Singaporean women who are making significant strides in Hong Kong’s culinary scene for CNA. These talented chefs, including Theign Phan, Astoria Koh, and entrepreneur sisters Eunice and Esther Lau, are not only running some of the most acclaimed kitchens but are also redefining what it means to be a female chef in a fast-paced and ever-competitive market. Their backgrounds and experiences bring a fresh perspective to the culinary arts, demonstrating the power of perseverance and passion.
Theign’s culinary style, which marries her Singaporean roots with modern influences, has captivated diners, while Astoria’s innovative desserts have set new benchmarks for creativity. Eunice and Esther’s entrepreneurial ventures showcase the dynamism of female-led businesses in the culinary world. All of these Singaporean women serve as powerful role models, inspiring others to embrace their culinary dreams and break through traditional barriers.
