What is OwnselfMake Chef?
Ownselfmake Chef is a private dining experience hosted by Chef Shen Tan where you will enjoy Singapore-inspired menus which mix and meld various culinary influences. Many elements of the food are handmade, hence the moniker Ownselfmake Chef.
Chef Shen Tan is a self-taught cook, who made a career switch in 2008 with her twice steamed Nasi Lemak at Maxwell Food Centre. She later helmed the kitchens at Wok & Barrel and Ujong, developing mod sin dishes like Ba chor mee pasta, pulot hitam pudding and Shendol.
This creative streak led her to start Ownselfmake Chef with menus that explore specific themes based on a certain protein – ie aPORKalypse, BBQ Mai Tu Liao, Sinfully Seafood moving on to other themes exploring culinary ideas of umami (Sweet Surrender) or Spice (Spice Shenanigans).
Welcome to the OWNSELF MAKE CHEF LAB!
Our new space, where we will not only make new food memories, but revisit some of our favourite dishes that have shaped and made OWNSELF MAKE CHEF’s heritage.
The isn’t just a private dining space – although I do want you to enjoy a very private and memorable meal here. But it’s also a kitchen of percolating ideas that not only marry culture, tradition, and modern influences, and how to achieve that fine balance translated through flavours in the dishes, or even the misce en scene of the dinners.
Food brings people and ideas together, and in my new chapter for OWNSELF MAKE CHEF which I started in 2017 – I cannot think of a better way to present it through the OWNSELF MAKE CHEF LAB, which will also be a playground for more collaborations to come to elevate the dining experience. Because food should never be boring.
