Singapore’s Boomerang Consultancy Pte. Ltd in collaboration with Sphere (an events arm of SIngapore Press Holdings, Inc) are bringing to Manila a unique gastronomic experience. Borrowing the same idea that has brought delight to foodies and the culinary world in Singapore for the past four years, Epicurean Masters presented by Banco de Oro (BDO) gathers world-class celebrity chefs on November 19, 24 and December 3, 2014.
Asia has been increasingly enjoying the limelight as a success story, seen as the major force leading the recovery of the global economy in the aftermath of the last financial crisis. The time has come for Asia to showcase its many facets of talents to those intrigued by its success.
One keenly watched aspect is the growing depth of rich and diverse offerings in exceptional dining cuisines across Asia. The records bear this out as the number of award-wining Michelin star chefs in Asia have been steadily rising; from Tokyo, Osaka to Hong Kong and Macau. Indeed, Tokyo now has the largest number of Michelin rated restaurants in the world.
Against this vibrant backdrop lies the creation of “Asian Masters” – a celebration of who we are to the world! It is a gourmet and lifestyle event that takes pride in celebrating Asia – our talents, our produce, our heritage and our culture.
Targeted at anyone who enjoys dining and vibrant lifestyles, the event provides a unique, carefully crafted platform to showcase a myriad of gourmet activities which includes demonstrations, workshops, luncheons, gala dinners and tastings. Lifestyle activities that revolve around the performing & visual arts, fashion, wellness, clubbing etc. are included, always with a thread of gastronomy and dining weaved into its programme.
Positioned as a key regional annual event that takes place over an entire month, its reach will extend far beyond Singapore’s shores to visitors from Hong Kong, China to Japan and Malaysia and now in the Philippines.
Inaugurated in January 2011, Asian Masters 2013 culminates one month of gastronomic and lifestyle events in the month of November. Targeted at anyone who enjoys dining and vibrant lifestyles, the event provides a unique, carefully crafted platform to showcase a myriad of gourmet activities which includes demonstrations, workshops, luncheons and gala dinners.
Hosted at venues such as Hotels, Restaurants, Theatres, Galleries, and Boutiques, this event targets a multi-tier market that enjoys dining & keeping up with trends; from the man on the street to the elite and is intended to showcase distinctive Asian talents & products. Using Singapore as a platform, Asian Masters encompass highlights that will engage regional visitors and positioning Singapore as a vibrant destination of Asia.

Chef Bobby Chinn is a hugely popular culinary figure throughout Asia and in London.

Chef Bobby is one of the more colourful global chefs. His restaurants : Restaurant Bobby Chinn in Hanoi (since 2001) and Bobby Chinn Saigon (since 2011) have been compared to Rick’s Café of Casablanca. His third restaurant is The House of Ho in heart of Soho, London is showcasing a resolutely Vietnamese menu and some dishes with a “Bobby’s twist’.
Chef Dan Segall came on the radar of the culinary world because of his landmark innovations in restaurants like Zuma, Fat Cow, M1NT Shanghai, and KU DÉ TA Singapore. He is best-known for coming up with unique and very distinctive creations wherever he has worked.
Because of his culinary exile, Chef Dan Segall traveled to nearly 20 countries in five continents. This approach has allowed Segall to use all these influences as his playground to create a wonderfully inventive fusion menu for anyone who tries his food.
Chef Diego Chiarini on the other hand has been internationally recognized for his unique style of cuisine on numerous occasions. He has worked at Bice in Tokyo Four Seasons Hotel which has garnered the distinction of ten best Italian restaurants in the world.
His penchant for hand-selecting only the finest ingredients sourced directly from Italy has given prestigious establishments like the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris, the Four Seasons Hotel in Milano, and the Hotel de Paris in Monaco even more sophistication and culinary appreciation from guests the world over.
