Not chef Andre Chiang. His eponymous two-star restaurant will shut down next February and he’ll be returning its Michelin stars. Want a farewell meal there? It’ll cost you an eye-watering $800.
Taiwan-born chef Andre Chiang jolted the foodie world earlier this week by announcing that he will be closing Restaurant Andre after eight years of being in the business. The restaurant is at the apex of its popularity — some say it hasn’t even reached its full potential yet. It won two stars in the inagural edition of Singaporean's Michelin guide in 2016 and retained them in this year's edition, which was published in June. It is also #2 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2017 lsit.
There were murmurings among industry insiders about the notoriously perfectionist chef’s discontent with getting anything less than three stars. “I don’t know how to be better, but we’ll keep doing what we can do,” the 41-year old had said to us after the inaugural awards ceremony back in 2016. He emphatically denies the rumours, though. “My decision to close Restaurant Andre is not related to any awards. I do not have to prove anything to anyone,” he told CNN.
