Amy Ng, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore
Boasting over three decades of experience in pastry-making, Amy Ng is definitely a strong contender in this category. The finalist of last year’s PCB Pastry Chef of the Year has won herself several awards to date, including the Chef RAS award by the Restaurant Association of Singapore in 2006.

Kenny Kong, Swissôtel The Stamford & Fairmont Singapore
Starting his career as a humble junior pastry chef in his native Hong Kong, Chef Kenny Kong’s personal philosophies of uncompromised beauty and style are strongly reflected in his works of culinary art. Today, as executive pastry chef of Fairmont Singapore, Kong devotes the same energy and passion into his craft as he has done over the years, building upon his experiences in countries such as France, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Janice Wong, 2am:dessertbar
Creative, innovative, detail oriented, risk taker and go-getter – the five most fitting description of Chef Janice Wong, the sole female chef of this year’s World Gourmet Summit. With an education from the world’s most prestigious culinary school, Le Cordon Bleu and a résumé that reads like the guide to the best of the culinary world (from wd~50 to Per Se and Alinea), Chef Wong is a vision of excellence and brilliance. Focusing on quality and bringing the best out of the ingredients that she used, all her dessert creations are to die for. An innovator in her own right, she aims to elevate the status of desserts to that of their savoury counterparts in top restaurants in Singapore and the world.
