He had the privilege to learn how to cook Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian and a variety of Latin American cuisine during his travels, and discovered that hands-on cooking classes allow any traveller to dive deep into the local culture by interacting with locals and tasting local heritage food. Daniel is deeply passionate about creating meaningful employment opportunities for stay-at-home mothers and active seniors. This is why Food Playground does not hire professional cooks or celebrity chefs. Instead, Daniel purposefully crafted out flexi-work employment opportunities specifically for stay-at-home mothers and active seniors and equipping them with the necessary skills to run cooking classes!To find out more about Food Playground, visit www.foodplayground.com.sg or facebook.com/foodplayground.com.sg2024 Honoree of 'Spirit of Enterprise' Award2022 'Champion of Good' by National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre2021 'Culinary Experience of the Year' Award by Travel & Hospitality Awards2020-2024 Travellers' Choice Best of the Best Award by Tripadvisor2018-2019, 2021/2022 Winner of 'Brands For Good'2018 Winner of 'Best Cooking School' by World Food Travel Association2017 Winner of 'Best Work-Life Balance' by Human Resources Excellence Awards2015 Winner of 'Singapore Service Excellence Awards' by SPRING Singapore2013 Winner of 'Best Learning & Travel Experience' by Singapore Tourism Board Show less
