Meet The Singing Chef Hendra

Asean Heritage Trail

He cooks, he sings, and he dances! This man can do everything, which is why in Indonesia he is known as the ‘Singing Chef’. “When I do a demo in Indonesia I will sing before and after the show and the women in the audience will sing and dance along. It is a lot of fun and it feels like a real community,” he tells me.


Chef Hendra made an impression with his colourful Indonesian outfit

At his demo in Avenue K he was dressed in a colorful Dayak Tribe outfit from Kalimantan with a traditional Irian Jayan animal tooth necklace…a small representation of just some of the culture that Indonesia has to offer. Speaking in both Indonesian and English he captured the crowd and took them on a little culinary journey.
