Meet David Ang
Resident Trainer | Chef Trainer

A chef of flavours with over three decades of culinary artistry, Chef David Ang’s journey began at SHATEC Singapore (1987–1991) before sharpening his skills at the Culinary Institute of America in New York (1995) and California (2001). His professional path took root at The Westin Hotels Singapore in 1986, where he rose to Sous Chef within seven years — a testament to both talent and tenacity.
From there, Chef David embarked on a rare and extraordinary voyage: serving as Executive and Personal Chef to billionaires, travelling across Japan, Europe, and America aboard luxury mega yachts. Those years at sea and abroad became a masterclass in global gastronomy, exposing him to the finest ingredients, spices, and culinary traditions the world has to offer.

Chef David’s cooking is anchored in New Asia cuisine — a harmonious fusion where the soul of Asian ingredients meets the elegance of modern techniques. Drawing from the depth of Asian spices, the precision of traditional methods, and the sophistication of Western plating, his menus tell a story that transcends borders. His approach reimagines family-style Asian dining into individually plated dishes, often paired with wine, to create an authentic yet elevated experience.

David Ang

In 2021, after decades of travelling, Chef David returned to his roots once more. Today, his mission is to share his wealth of experience with aspiring chefs who have the right attitude, discipline, and appetite for knowledge. For him, cooking is not just a profession - Always cook with heart, serve with style! It’s a lifelong voyage of taste, and belief that great food is a bridge between cultures and connection.
