SINGAPORE: Chef Ian Tan owes a debt to disaster. The kitchen was in a roil: two cooks had called in sick, a thousand diners had to be fed, the waiter was to step up.
The pleasantly confounding starter sampled by this reporter was the first dish of his three-course Peranakan menu that scored full marks at the awards, prompting one judge – celebrity chef-owner Adam Handling, of London establishment Frog – to declare it fit to eat every day, Tan told The Straits Times.
After the serendipitous crisis, he became a dogsbody, doing the unglamorous work of chopping garlic, grabbing crockery and seasoning sauces. In his three years at the ramen shop, he never made a complete bowl.When, at 18, it came time to choose a vocation, it was a no-brainer, he said.
Just how profound the personal is to this rising young chef becomes apparent in conversation with other cooks.
