Singapore bonus episode - Interview with Chef Petrina Loh
Today we have a Singapore bonus episode for you – our interview with chef Petrina Loh. When we were conducting the interviews for the main episode, Petrina was travelling in Japan and Korea doing food research and looking for inspiration for the menu at Morsels, the restaurant she is the chef and owner of. We missed her back then, but we caught up with her upon her return.
This year, that’s in 2022, Petrina received the World Gourmet Award as the best female chef in Singapore. But before seriously venturing into the culinary world, Petrina was a banker for 10 years!
In this episode we unpack this story as well as what Petrina serves at Morsels and her secret places for comfort food in Singapore.
