About

Chef Tom Kung is the Group Executive Chef of 1-Group, the leading multi-lifestyle and F&B group in Singapore, overseeing the Spanish Cuisine Development of UNA.

Chef Tom’s culinary journey began with a fervent fascination for Spanish cuisine, a passion that would shape his remarkable career. Under the tutelage of the renowned Spanish-Italian Chef Jean Philippe Patruno, Chef Tom honed his skills for three years, immersing himself in the rich tapestry of Spanish culinary traditions.

Works

Our heritage menu is a celebration of Singapore’s rich culinary heritage, infused with modern touches that make each dish both nostalgic and innovative. Drawing inspiration from local flavours and traditional recipes, the menu showcases iconic elements like chili crab, laksa, and salted egg, reimagined in creative formats such as Kueh Pie Tee and squid ink prawn rolls.

These heritage-inspired dishes sit alongside international favourites, like the Wagyu Burger and Truffle Carbonara, blending familiar Asian tastes with Western influences. The result is a menu that not only pays homage to the long-standing history of the Alkaff Family’s endeavours in the spice trade but also Singapore’s multicultural food scene today, offering diners a unique culinary journey that is both comforting and exciting.

Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to highlight the diverse flavours that make Singaporean cuisine special. Whether you’re craving traditional street food flavours or modern fusion dishes, our menu provides an elevated dining experience that remains deeply rooted in the local culture.
