Specialty Cuisines: Western, Singaporean, Malay, Japanese & Indian
As a veteran in the F&B industry, winner of the 2007 World Culinary Competition and advocate for healthy cooking, Chef Steve Yap is a gourmet food force to be reckoned with.
He started his home chef journey with Esseplore because of the creative freedom it gave him in making his own dishes and sharing them with the world. His first feast, Symphony of Seafood Pen Cai, debuted to an amazing reception during the lead up to Chinese New Year!
Specialty Cuisine: Peranakan
Chefs Julianna & Florence share a friendship spanning 25 years and a strong passion for cooking and hosting.
Having felt a desire to share their Peranakan heritage with more people through authentic food, and upon the encouragement of family and friends, they embarked on their home chef journey with Esseplore.
Since then, they’ve received positive reviews about their food and, knowing the happiness it brings to others, haven’t looked back.
Specialty Cuisine: American Barbecue & Modern European
A barbecue enthusiast, Chef Jimmy fell in love with American barbecue for its its indirect heat and meat smoking flavour which led him to be trained in this method in the US.
Realising that he wanted his barbecue to be eaten in a setting where people bond over good food, and needing some marketing and logistical support, he became a home chef with Esseplore and has received a warm reception for his menus on the Feastbox platform.
Specialty Cuisine: South Indian (Kongunadu & Chettinad) & Indian Vegetarian
Growing up watching her mother and grandmother working their magic in the busy kitchen of their South Indian home, Chef Latha brings her family’s homemade style and soul to all her dishes.
As a mother of two children, she started as a home chef with Esseplore because it offered her the chance to do what she loves for a living and still be present at home. She also appreciates that the Esseplore brand prices and conveys the value of the menus which involve much effort in the selection and preparation of ingredients.
Specialty Cuisine: Chinese
Chef Wendy has loved cooking since young. After obtaining her Diploma in Culinary Arts, she pursued a career in the F&B industry teaching cooking classes.
Constantly on the hunt to grow her skills and share her food with the world, Chef Wendy started her home chef journey with Esseplore. Her debut feast, the Claypot Lobster Feast, is a bestseller on the Feastbox platform.
Specialty Cuisine: Seafood
Chef Andrew and Sandy are #couplegoals in the home dining scene, sharing a passion for cooking. Their specialty is seafood, which they get fresh from Chef Andrew’s father’s kelong.
Aiming to reach more people with their delicious take on freshly caught local seafood, they joined the Esseplore platform and began their journey as a home chef tag team. Their most popular feast, Fresh Kelong Seafood, debuted to a raving reception due to its freshness and generous portions.
