President’s Message 2026

Singapore Chefs’ Association

As we step into 2026, I thank our members, partners, sponsors, and stakeholders for your continued trust and support of the Singapore Chefs’ Association (SCA).

The past year has been a sublime year of progress for SCA, the Singapore Pastry Alliance (SPA), and the Singapore Junior Chefs Club (SJCC). Our chefs have excelled locally and internationally, while continuing to give back through mentorship, community initiatives, and youth development. These achievements reflect the strength of our culinary ecosystem and our shared purpose.

SCA continues to strengthen its governance, modernise operations, and invest in our members through professional development, international recognition, and meaningful industry engagement. Beyond competitions, we remain committed to social responsibility and the belief that chefs play a vital role in shaping communities.

Looking ahead, 2026 will be a defining year with key national collaborations, international platforms, the inaugural Singapore Chefs Festival, and the Singapore National Culinary Team’s journey to the Culinary World Cup in Luxembourg.

As always, SCA remains committed to professional standards, lifelong learning, youth development, and giving back. When we uplift chefs, we uplift communities — and when we invest in skills, we invest in Singapore’s future.
