About Chef Dee
Born in Hong Kong, Chef Dee is one of the Singapore’s youngest executive chefs in Chinese cuisine.
Inspired by his father who was a Chinese cuisine chef with decades of experience, Chef Dee moved to Singapore at the age of 16, where he later joined W Hotel as a cook. He was then introduced into Tung Lok Seafood where he honed his skills and went on to specialise in local cuisine at Conrad Centennial Hotel.
Moving forward, he accepted the opportunity to be Head Chef at the then newly-opened Mott 32, before his most recent stint as Executive Chef at Chinese restaurant Clan 7, with his own innovative interpretations of modern Chinese cuisine.
Today, Chef Dee helms 黑珍珠 The Black Pearl as Executive Chef, bringing his culinary expertise to the new contemporary Cantonese fine dining concept.
