Felix Chong
In August 2015, Chef Felix co-founded Divine Palate and has been helming the private dining kitchen since then. There are unlimited local talented chefs in Singapore and even Asia. Being an Asian, Chef Felix wants to make a difference and promote the recognition of our homegrown chefs. Divine Palate is established as a platform for these capable and skilled chefs to present their creations for our valued guests.
For a company to succeed over the long haul, customers have to see a strong, differentiated value proposition to buy your products or services instead of a market full of alternatives. Divine Palate strives to provide an extraordinary experience for our guests at each individual event.
