To what do we owe the pleasure?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I come several times a year from Paris, and this time I&#8217;m here to develop some new menu items, to carry out quality assurance, and meet our customers.\u00a0We\u2019re working on some very exciting new items for the savoury menu, which I hope Singapore will enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re the 4th generation of a family of great bakers and patissiers, so how did your folks react when you decided to strike out on your own?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Hailing from a long line of artisanal bakers and being exposed to it at a young age, it was natural that I fell in love with baking. It is in my blood. In fact, I started baking with my grandfather at his bakery when I was a young child. My family was and is very encouraging. I\u2019m proud to say I\u2019ve kept true to the traditional baking techniques handed down from my family, and created my own style by marrying them with international flavours.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5644.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19847 lazyload\" alt=\"IO6A5644\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5644.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5644.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5644.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us more about your collaboration with the Spa Esprit Group \u2013 how did Tiong Bahru Bakery come into being?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I was introduced to Cynthia Chua of Spa Esprit Group by one of my business partners. We met and clicked instantly. We\u2019re both very passionate about creativity and have great synergy. I was very excited when I visited Singapore as it\u2019s a melting pot of traditional cultures and modern influences. At that time, Cynthia shared that although there was growing awareness for gourmet breads, what was available in the market was still very limited. So we decided to set up Tiong Bahru Bakery.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5630.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19733 lazyload\" alt=\"IO6A5630\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5630.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5630.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5630.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A56651.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19848 lazyload\" alt=\"IO6A5665\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A56651.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A56651.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A56651.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>France and Singapore have very different climates. Was it difficult adjusting and adapting traditional French techniques for the humidity in our country?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Due to the humidity in Singapore, we have to bake the breads at a lower temperature for a longer period of time. This forms a slightly thicker and sturdier crust, which helps to protect against and counter the humidity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re a man who is wearing many hats \u2013 trainer, entrepreneur, cookbook author, and you even have your own TV show! Which part of building your mini empire did you enjoy the most?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I love every bit of it. I am very passionate about baking and I love sharing my knowledge and skills. If I had to choose, I reckon I most enjoy researching and developing new bakes and flavor combinations. I enjoy travelling and experimenting with new ingredients and creating new flavours and styles of bread and cakes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We just have to ask: what\u2019s your favourite bread?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I adore the Miso Rye Bread: it\u2019s savory, complex, delicious, versatile and unexpected. There is so much depth to the flavours. I love having it with a smear of butter and topped with a raw oyster \u2013 it\u2019s great with eggs too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re a regular globetrotter because of what you do. Do you have a favourite city to visit or a city you\u2019d love to set up shop in?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I love Japan. It is an amazing country that is so modern yet has so much respect for tradition and craftsmanship. That\u2019s why I set up a Gontran Cherrier bakery in Tokyo\u2019s Shibuya district in 2012.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5734.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19740 lazyload\" alt=\"IO6A5734\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5734.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5734.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/IO6A5734.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve also been in Singapore more than a few times.

I love how there is an amazing mix of the traditional street food and new dining concepts, and how there is space for such a large array of different food concepts.
