Today I’m talking to Aiven Lee at Yum Sing House. Evolving from its original iteration when it opened in 2021, at Yum Sing House the spotlight is no longer on the karaoke upstairs, although you can certainly still belt out the hits should you wish, but the focus is now the culinary experience downstairs. Helmed by Malaysian-born Head Chef, Aiven who was head chef at Longrain and Mamasita, the menu is inspired by the food of Aiven’s childhood and the memories he has of his mother cooking vast amounts of food for Chinese New Year and other festivals. A house favourite for example, is the crispy-skinned roasted dry aged duck, a take on a traditional duck a l’orange with an Asian twist of spring onion, ginger and coriander. I sat down with Aiven to talk about food, family and finding your passion. Aiven has an infectious laugh so listen out for it. It will make your day. As will his food, what a great combo!
