Chef Aaron Tan (陈健倫) was appointed Executive Sous Chef of InterContinental Singapore in March 2023, while retaining his role as the Executive Chinese Chef at Michelin-recommended Cantonese Restaurant, Man Fu Yuan renowned for its modern culinary presentations underpinned by authentic Cantonese craftsmanship.
He plays a key role in supporting the Executive Chef in overseeing the hotel’s culinary operations across its portfolio of restaurants, banquet and off-site catering.
Boasting close to 30 years of culinary and catering experience, his journey in culinary arts began at the tender age of 12 in the kitchen of a restaurant in his hometown of Perak where he was working part time. Accepting the head chef’s challenge to whip up a meal of fried rice, the sense of pride and accomplishment Aaron derived from this simple, yet significant achievement spurred him to pursue a career in the kitchen.
