Among the illustrious chefs coming to Singapore for WGS 2017 are Jarno Eggen (The Netherlands) of two-Michelin-starred De Groene Lantaarn; four-time World Barbeque champion Grill-Ueli alias Ueli Bernold (Switzerland); Daniel Ovadía, one of Mexico’s most successful chefs-restaurateur; Dharshan Munidasa, who put his native Sri Lanka on the culinary world map with two restaurants in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list; dessert sensation Kiriko Nakamura (Japan) of one-Michelin star Tirpse; and Canadian First Nations Chef Representative Quentin Glabus (Canada). Showing Singapore’s diners why they are the ones to watch is a select group of young chefs from the esteemed Pachacútec Culinary Institute in Peru, protégés of the school’s founder and South America’s renowned Chef Gaston Acurio. Adding some spice is celebrity Chef Thaninthorn Chantrawan (or Chef Noom as he is popularly known) from Thailand, famous for his successful stint on the Thai version of Iron Chef.
