Gordon Ramsay's Singapore High-End Resto Aims For Another Michelin Star, The Oscar Award For Chefs

Michelin-star chef, Gordon Ramsay, recently opened a high end eatery in Singapore but his love of the street food in the town has grown since long ago.

Bread Street Kitchen is a casual dining spot with a blend of modern and vintage décor. On the menu, it serves all things European traditional like Eggs Benedict, English Breakfast, Shepherd's Pie and Fish 'n Chips.

Only months ago that the celeb's restaurant have been introduced but the deep connection to the city is much longer. It started 15 years ago, Ramsay told CNN, that his visit to Raffles Hotel opened his mind to hawker foods.

On his third visit to Singapore, Ramsay claimed that it's not just delicious cuisine but more of a family environment - which he loves seeing. Ramsay is also responsible for creating inflight menus for Singapore Airlines.

Bread Street Kitchen is his second restaurant in Asia. Ramsay's design is a place for lunch and dinner, or for an occasional drink that taps in the culture with a relaxing environment. "It's family-oriented," he exclaims the atmosphere of Singapore culture for being very unorthodox, lively and family-oriented. "You don't really see that in London. All that authenticity gone, here we still have it."

The 49-year-old chef describes Singaporeans as impatient individuals, yet knowledgeable of great foods. He recalled the guide that approved, Singapore being a destination for foodies. The city's market is competitive and tough, according to Ramsay, as big chefs from Europe, U.S and Japan are marking their names here.

Ramsay's few dozen restaurants have a total of 16 Michelin stars, 9 of which he currently holds. He mentions that receiving a Michelin Star is akin to that of an actor receiving an Oscar. He welcomes the pressure of having to keep the achievement to that level - describing it as 'catastrophe' if in case the Star goes down from three to two.
