The Dream Team: Paige with Julien Royer and Wee Teng Wen

Published: Nov. 7, 2021, 10 p.m.

Wrapping up Season Two with passion, purpose and peace, Paige is joined by the dynamic duo of Julien Royer and Wee Teng Wen.

\n

Julien is Chef-Owner of Odette, the three Michelin-star French restaurant recently tapped number one among Asia\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants. Wee Teng Wen is founder and managing partner of The Lo & Behold Group, on the forefront of hospitality and lifestyle in Singapore, with concepts including the Extra Virgin Pizza, Tanjong Beach Club, The Warehouse Hotel, Loof, and Odette.

\n

Teng Wen and Julien share why they connected, and how picking the right partner cannot be overstated. Julien shares on the strong female role models, all namesakes of his restaurants, who shaped his cooking, kitchen, and mindset; and he reminds us frequently of the importance of humility, and he shares how he changed and adapted his food once he spent more time here. Teng Wen chats on Tiger parents, the hypercompetitive F&B industry, and explains the starting point for his company was to \u201ccreate a more lovable city through bold concepts and intentional hospitality\u201d. They cover work/life balance, lofty and ambitious dreams for F&B, and their upcoming joint venture, \u201cClaudine\u201d, opening in Dempsey on 16th November 2021.

\n

Both of these men have a commitment to the people they are serving and employing, and that strong purpose and passion resonates in this podcast episode. Listen, laugh, and learn, as together we all Pass the Power.
