Chef de Cuisine

Aven Lau

Chef de Cuisine Aven Lau’s distinctive culinary expression, goes beyond crafting delicious food – with every dish, he aims to create lasting visual and gustatory memories for his guests with exceptional flavours and striking presentations.

“First impressions speak volumes. With a classic dish such as foie gras, if guests think ‘wow, that looks different,’ before they’ve even taken their first bite, I hope they’ll treasure that feeling of novelty and excitement,” says Chef Lau.

Chef Lau brings to ÉPURE a wealth of culinary experience amassed at several of Asia’s most lauded dining institutions, including three-MICHELIN-starred Odette in his hometown of Singapore (no. 6, Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2023), as well as Hong Kong’s one-MICHELIN-starred Belon and Bâtard (no. 82, Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2022). In 2023, Lau joined ÉPURE to offer ÉPURE’s guests a dining experience like no other.
