THE MAN WHO FOLLOWS HIS HEART WEE TENG WEN,FOUNDER

& MANAGING PARTNER, LO & BEHOLD GROUP

BLAZING THE TRAIL

Since co-founding Loof, Singapore’s first standalone rooftop bar in 2005, Wee’s impact on the industry only continues to deepen; the managing partner of The Lo & Behold Group now manages an iconic portfolio of restaurant­s, bars, hotels, and a members’ club that is united by his vision. Through well loved brands such as The White Rabbit, Tanjong Beach Club, The Warehouse Hotel, Straits Clan and more, Wee hopes to inject more soul, fun, and lovability into Singapore’s lifestyle and hospitalit­y scene.

GREAT EXPECTATIO­NS

The group’s long-term goal is to deliver best-in-class concepts and experience­s that will set the standard in the region and beyond. Most notably, the jointly-owned Odette (co-owned with chef Julien Royer) has continuall­y impressed, with their recent crowning of three Michelin stars and the title of Asia’s Best Restaurant. Wee promises more collaborat­ive cross-industry concepts that will expand the group’s hospitalit­y offerings in the near future. Several existing venues in the portfolio will also undergo transforma­tions or expansions to keep guests delighted and engaged.

THE OM FACTOR

“Our people are our greatest asset. I believe that our approach of following our hearts instead of trends has been vital to the longevity of our businesses. We always start with the ‘why’; secure a location we love, then throw in a generous amount of imaginatio­n and magic to create fresh concepts that work for this market. If I had to boil it all down, these would be the key ingredient­s to our success – unique ideas delivered in great locations, brought to life by a talented and hard-working team.”
