THEY MADE IT :)
Congratulations to Chefs Jason, Dexter, Kit and Wei Lung! We're so thankful to have been a part of their journey and supported them through fundraising (and luggage carrying!) 💖
A little secret: we're planning a showcase of the team in April, where we'll reinterpret the gelato flavours used in the competition, and the props used will be displayed around our outlets. Keep an eye out for it!
MEET THE WORLD CHAMPIONS:
TEAM SINGAPORE
Four chefs, with more than 60 years of experience and eight medals between them. These are the personalities representing Singapore in the upcoming Gelato World Cup 2026. The team was put together by the Singapore Chef's Association and Singapore Pastry Alliance.
A typical day for the chefs begins at 8am and ends at 1am. Between their day jobs and the competition preparation, they spend an average of 80 to 90 hours a week honing their craft, all for their common goal of taking a place on the podium in this year’s competition.
Jason Tan Yirong
Chef Jason began his career in Le Cordon Bleu Sydney where he graduated top of his class, and has since accrued a diverse range of experience in the kitchen, at competitions and in education where he played no small role in nurturing the next generation of chefs.
A previous competitor himself, Chef Jason was the Team Manager in the 2024 World Gelato Cup, and will reprise the role in the 2026 edition.
