Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Malcolm and his hardworking crew have been investing a lot of money in research since 2007 to make sure our locally farmed fish have enough room and time to thrive.

A Milestone for Local Farmers

A Feast of Locally Farmed Fish
The event will also include vegetables, bean sprouts, and eggs from island farms in addition to our locally farmed fish. This demonstrates how Singapore’s multicultural identity can be reflected in a lunch suited for the country’s leaders, made with fresh vegetables from the area.
Preparation and Execution
Once everything is prepared, the culinary staff starts chopping and marinating the components for a meal that highlights the greatest dishes from the area. Chef Elvin Leong explains, “When we know these events are important, we set directions for the menus, ensuring that the proteins, vegetables, and all other ingredients meet our high standards.”
