Uncover the driving forces behind a successful life - a glimpse into her personal background and inspiration

Chef Phyllis Lim has a deep love for the culinary arts and a passion for creating delicious dishes and sweets that bring joy to others. Her curiosity in the kitchen has led her to experiment and innovate in her cooking, and she is always striving to improve her craft. Though she was unsure whether to pursue culinary or pastry, a meaningful thought came to her after her grandmother's passing: the ability to make someone smile with her food is priceless. This sentiment remains dear to her heart and continues to inspire her culinary creations to this day.

Despite not growing up in a family of means, Chef Phyllis Lim has always been driven to pursue her passions and find ways to reach her goals. 

• As a child, she worked a variety of odd jobs in order to save up some extra money. After completing her education, she landed an internship at The Ritz-Carlton Singapore, despite having no prior experience in the industry. 
• Although it was a daunting task, she worked hard every day to learn the ropes and make her mark. She can fondly recall her earliest days in the kitchen, where she would spend hours in the walk-in freezer just to get a small number of ice cream tubs ready for service. 
• Through perseverance and dedication, she was able to overcome these challenges and ultimately discover her true passion for cooking and creating incredible culinary experiences.

 A journey into Chef Phyllis' innovative pastry creations and techniques

For Chef Phyllis Lim, creating pastry masterpieces is all about finding the perfect balance between traditional techniques and modern twists. She strives to take classic desserts and add her own unique flair to make them stand out from the rest. When working on a creation, she always asks herself what she can add or take away to make it truly special without detracting from its essence. Despite being her own harshest critic, Chef Phyllis never stops looking for new inspiration, new techniques, and exciting new ingredients to elevate her pastry game to new heights. She is always pushing the boundaries to create innovative and unforgettable creations that will leave her patrons in awe.

In today's age of social media and constantly evolving food trends, Chef Phyllis Lim remains true to herself and her own creative vision when approaching her pastry creations.

• While she takes inspiration from various trends and styles, she strives to put her own unique spin on everything she creates. One unconventional ingredient that she frequently uses is soy sauce, which adds a savoury, umami flavour to her pastries. 
• Despite being a skilled and experienced pastry chef, even Chef Phyllis faces challenging tasks from time to time. One of her biggest hurdles was perfecting a vegan croissant, which involves a complex and delicate process.
• However, she overcame these difficulties by running numerous tests and making sure not to compromise on texture or flavour, ultimately achieving the perfect vegan croissant with the signature honeycomb crumb which is a hallmark of traditional French croissants. Discover the secrets to Chef Phyllis' vegan croissants, from perfecting the laminations to achieving the perfect flaky texture, in her exclusive pastry classes.
