Andre Chiang's next course to be served up in Chengdu

Singapore

WHEN chef Andre Chiang announced the closing of Restaurant Andre on Oct 11 last year, he lost no time flying off to China - where he enjoys a strong following - to explore new opportunities. He is now the culinary director of The Bridge, a Sichuan restaurant in Chengdu, in partnership with a Chinese company.

His role is to "conceptualise and create" at the restaurant, which is set on Chengdu's Anshun Bridge, a historic landmark dating back to Marco Polo's travels in the 13th century.
