If you’ve dined at Esplanade’s Supply & Demand and thoroughly enjoyed its Italian fare and the mouth-watering, yet elusive focaccia made in-house, you have chef-owner Wu Si Han to thank. The 31-year-old, who honed his craft at Sky on 57 and Singapore’s then-only three Michelin Starred Restaurant Joël Robuchon fine dining, is the first Singaporean Gaggenau culinary partner. He joins the ranks of illustrious chefs like Ivan Brehm and Stephen Zoisl – both based in Singapore.

For Chef Wu, cooking is not just a job; it’s a creative outlet. He firmly believes in the endless possibilities that different ingredients offer, allowing him to craft a myriad of recipes. He remains open-minded and constantly explores new cooking methods, especially during his travels.
