Masterchef Sang-Hoon Degeimbre of one-Michelin-starred restaurant I’Air Du Temps in Belgium, drew astounding oohs and wows from his audience who was given an eye-opening demonstration on some of the techniques used in molecular gastronomy. It’s not everyday that one sees a nitrogen-filled tank being whisked out on a trolley during a culinary class to freeze gin-infused meringue or a rotating smoker used to introduce the smell of wood shavings and Sichuan pepper in a cloud of smoke into his food. Truly an unforgettable and educational session, Degeimbre’s masterclass was a success story, to say the least! Click here to visit our photo gallery!

The night kicked off on a promising note when Shan Wee’s cocktail, Firestarter, was auctioned off for $100. Things got more heated up as Chloe Cho’s Butterfly cocktail went for $150, and the show-snatcher of the night; James Yip’s Yippie Cocktail, went for a jaw-dropping $350. From 7.30pm onwards, doors were opened to the public and all cocktails were priced at $15, mixed by the glittering lineup of celebrities like Justin Ang(987FM), Hamish Brown(Gold 90.5FM), Steven Chia(CNA), Renee Yong Mei(Love 97.2FM), Vernon A((987FM), Kate Reyes(Gold 90.5FM) Cruz Teng(YES 93.3FM) and also Chloe Cho.
