Raffles Hotel Singapore proudly continues its literary legacy with the fourth edition of the Raffles Writer’s Residency, welcoming its first-ever chef as Writer-in-Residence — Chef André Chiang. A visionary in modern gastronomy, Chef André is celebrated for his artistic culinary approach and contributions to the global dining scene. Now, he brings his storytelling to the page with his latest book, Fragments of Time.
Since 2019, the Writer’s Residency has provided a creative sanctuary for esteemed writers, following in the footsteps of Rudyard Kipling, Ernest Hemingway and Joseph Conrad. This year, we celebrate the intersection of literature and gastronomy, where storytelling unfolds through words, flavours and memories.
Fragments of Time by Chef André Chiang
Inspired by the Chinese idiom “吉光片羽”, this 200-page book weaves together culinary, cultural and historical narratives, reflecting on Singapore’s gastronomy and Raffles Hotel’s rich history. Blending heritage and innovation, Chef André explores the preservation of culinary traditions, the role of chefs today and his inspirations from the Grande Dame.
