Restaurant Andre to go out at its peak, gives back Michelin stars

Andre Chiang

Chef Andre Chiang, whose eponymously named restaurant has held the title of Singapore's best restaurant and is consistently ranked among the top restaurants in Asia, has asked Michelin to take back his two stars and announced plans to close next year.

It was a surprising one-two punch announcement issued just after Chiang celebrated the restaurant's seventh anniversary this week, and one that continues to reverberate in Singapore's dynamic fine dining community.
