Celebrity chef Andre Chiang announces retirement, closing restaurant Raw
Chiang is no stranger to nurturing young talent in the culinary field, having mentored pastry chef Mohamad Al-Matin and chef Zor Tan, who had helmed Restaurant Andre, Raw and Sichuan Moon and is now chef-owner of one-Michelin-starred Restaurant Born.
Raw will begin serving its final menu, themed The Last Dance, from Aug 16 until the last day of operations on Dec 31. The final menu is described as “a personal love letter to everyone who loves Andre and his cuisine”.
The acclaimed chef doesn’t rule out the possibility of future pop-ups.
He recently ran a sold-out 12-day residency at Raffles Hotel Singapore in May this year.
He also helmed the Michelin-starred Restaurant Andre in Singapore, which closed in 2018.
