✨ Our Story

​Where It All Began

 

The story of PasirPanjangBoy began with open doors and shared tables — where neighbours arrived unannounced, food was served in enamel trays, old porcelain bowls, and even banana leaves, and conversations ran late into the evening. It’s a story carried by scent and laughter, by the spirit of heritage that lives in every kitchen.

 

Back in those days, Tupperware and Pyrex parties were the highlight of the week — a reason to cook something wonderful, to feed friends, and to celebrate the simple joy of being together. Those gatherings shaped the way we see food today: as memory, connection, and the heart of community.

Tinoq – The Heritage Keeper

 

For Tinoq, it was also about the love of baking — when teatime became a community ritual. Neighbours would gather with plates of homemade cakes and kuih, while hot tea and coffee were always provided by our Malay and Indian neighbours — teh tarik or spiced chai. These moments of generosity and warmth live on in every dish he creates, blending the nostalgia of the past with the creativity of the present.

 

Born and raised in Pasir Panjang’s kampong community, Tinoq carries with him the spirit of Singapore’s early years — where food wasn’t just sustenance, but an act of care. His Indian-Chinese Peranakan roots shape a cuisine that is soulful, humble, and filled with the rhythm of memory.

 

 

Dylan – The Quiet Force Behind the Table

 

Dylan brings balance and curiosity to the table. With a background outside the culinary world, his strength lies in connecting structure with creativity — managing operations, shaping communication, and ensuring every idea translates into action. He brings a modern perspective to the partnership, guiding PasirPanjangBoy to evolve while staying grounded in intention and authenticity.

Together as PasirPanjangBoy

 

What began as our personal journal has grown into a brand rooted in authenticity and Singaporean pride. From private dining and edible gardens to collaborations with names like Bosch, Tiffany & Co., Grand Hyatt, and Raffles Hotel, we continue to honour Southeast Asian heritage through creativity and connection.

 

Our partnership is both culinary and personal — a celebration of love, diversity, and the evolving spirit of Singapore. Every dish, project, and collaboration tells a story of where we’ve come from — and where food, culture, and imagination will take us next.
