Some evenings are defined not only by what is served, but by the meeting of minds behind it.
As part of the Tatler Best Takeover Series, presented in partnership with , , .sg and , we were honoured to welcome Chef and the team from the Philippines' only two-Michelin-starred restaurant, , for an evening celebrating culture and culinary exchange.
While Chef Boutwood's British-Filipino heritage informs Helm's deeply personal and acclaimed tasting menus, Chef de Cuisine Jordan Keao's approach at Butcher's Block is shaped by his Hawaiian roots and a profound connection to wood-fire cooking. Though distinct in expression, both chefs share a commitment to honouring provenance, storytelling and the transformative power of exceptional ingredients.
The evening unfolded as a thoughtful conversation between traditions, philosophies and techniques — one that lingered well beyond the final course.
Our heartfelt thanks to Tatler Singapore and the above partners for making this happen and to Chef Boutwood and the Helm team for joining us. We look forward to many more meaningful collaborations ahead.
