Welcomes First
Non-Italian
Chef

Grissini at Grand Copthorne Waterfront welcomes Chef Kenny Huang as its newly appointed Head Chef. At just 33 years old, Chef Kenny is young, innovative and passionate about the culinary arts. With him at the helm, diners can expect exquisite a menu expertly executed with authentic Italian cooking techniques and fresh produce with a Japanese touch.

Growing up helping in the kitchen of his father’s restaurant, Chef Kenny’s passion in the culinary arts began at a young age. The joy of seeing satisfied diners at the restaurant motivated him to pursue his passion. He moved to Turin, the capital of Piedmont in Northern Italy, in 2013 and spent two years immersing himself in the authentic Italian culture and cuisine. He honed his skills in various elite establishments, including a Michelin-starred restaurant. This allowed him to learn authentic Italian cooking techniques while having the room to explore and develop his creativity in creating extraordinary dishes with simple ingredients. Following his stint in Italy, he returned to Southeast Asia and worked at another five-star hotel prior to joining Grand Copthorne Waterfront.

“Chef Kenny brings a refreshing take on Italian cooking and diners will be treated to a stellar array of new dishes,” said Grand Copthorne Waterfront General Manager Mr Pjey Mayandi. “Chef Kenny is the first non-Italian chef to head Grissini since the Italian restaurant opened in 2016.”
