NATALIE ENG, 26
Ecole Gregoire Ferrandi-trained pastry chef known for her beautiful French desserts and pastries. Joined Swiss luxury home appliance brand V-Zug as a gourmet pastry chef in October.
Working from the brand’s new showroom at Scotts Square six days a week, Eng not only conducts events and demonstrations for V-Zug’s clients (many of whom are real estate developers), she holds “little classes” as well, for customers who want to know more about the brand’s kitchen appliances.
“My job also takes me overseas. Through this, I want to take myself further and learn from people I respect.
“My goal is to set up my own school, hopefully in a few years, where I will teach and also invite overseas chefs I respect to hold masterclasses here.
“I see a market in teaching because I think Singaporeans are more interested in learning stuff than eating it. And with a school, you can let people see the work that goes into making pastries.”
