Ep. 255 - [Singapore] From Chef to Cooking the Future of Food with Andrew Yip, Head of Future Food at Monde Nissin

Today I’m interviewing Andrew Yip, Head of Future Food at Monde Nissin Singapore, what the heck is Monde Nissin and why are they interesting? They are a philipino based mega food corporation that bought Quorn about 7 years ago. Andrew was one of the first people I contacted in Singapore mainly because he posts great food content on Linkedin. When I visited him, I was introduced to some amazing food applications using Quorn technology. If you want to see some pictures, check out the shownotes. I have mixed feeling about Quorn. Some products in the United States are not my favorite. Their hot dogs taste like cat food and their nuggets taste like fish but I was super impressed with the spam sticks and bao I tried using Quorn technology. Anyways, we then did a podcast in the Monde Nissin office. You’ll learn about Andrew’s journey from being a chef to an R+D scientist, his philosophy in product development and also why Andrew believes Singapore is such a central place for brands like Quorn to set up an Asian HQ there. They are not the only ones. Shownotes: http://myfoodjobrocks.com/255Andrew Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
