Zachary’s unremitting passion for gastronomy and devotion to culinary craft can be traced back to his family’s trade in Singapore’s ‘Local Tze Char Scene’. This exposure led him to pursue formal culinary studies at the age of 17 first at Republic Polytechnic’s Diploma in Restaurant & Culinary Operations, and later on at the prestigious The Culinary Institute of America. Since then, he has received training in some of the most celebrated kitchens in the world including, the Waterside Inn (UK), Hertog Jan & Restaurant Carcasse (Belgium), and Ilden (Singapore).
Over the years Zachary managed to form his own culinary ethos: Passion , Perseverance, Creativity and Consistency.
