About this listen

From Forbes director to self-taught chef, Shen Tan’s journey is anything but ordinary. Shen (@chefshentan & @ownselfmakechef) carved her own path through Singapore’s brutal F&B scene - from running hawker stalls and restaurants to private dining.

In this episode, Shen shares:

  • Why she traded in her power suit for an apron
  • How being self-taught shaped her philosophy (and her battles with imposter syndrome)
  • Her unfiltered take on Singapore’s merciless F&B industry
  • Her advice for aspiring café owners and home cooks

This episode packs a punch with a generous serving of sambal!
