Big Shift In The Singapore Private Dining Scene

Singapore has embraced the idea of private dining a while ago. It is very personable and intimate, therefore it comes with a price tag. But what if I tell you that it is no longer the case.

Prices go down

The big shift in private dining scene comes with the launch of HopHop Chef mobile app, as the price of the private chef service has dropped dramatically. If you spend $20-30 per person when you eat out with family and friends, now you can upgrade to private dining while keeping the same budget. Score!

Who are the chefs?

The chef pool includes only professional chefs, who are interested in earning a side income by cooking at homes, while having the flexibility of accepting bookings only when they are available and being paid for each gig. They are vetted and tested by the HopHop Chef team.

Chef Aneel Sharma, who was one of the first chefs to join HopHop Chef says: “I like that I get to cook for food lovers. When I cook at client’s home it is unpretentious and genuine, just like my food. I bring smile to all.”

Is my kitchen ok?

We are all wondering if your kitchen is ok for a chef. HopHop Chef asks customers to confirm they have a stove, a pot and a pan. You will also need some basic kitchen utensils (see picture) and plates to serve.

Mr Lim, a client of HopHop chef says: “I hate to search for parking on a Sunday evening, and I can’t even have a beer. Now we can stay home and have a good time together with proper good food. Good service, no fuss.”
