Jimmy Lim’s JL Studio is the first restaurant serving modern Singaporean cuisine that has won that accolade.
In 2020, Jimmy Lim sat in the Michelin Guide Taipei and Taichung ceremony, stunned to hear that his modern Singaporean restaurant JL Studio had shot into the list for the first time with two stars.
Lim’s love for cooking was sparked by his late father, who ran a zichar stall selling dishes such as chilli crab and fish head curry. From a young age, he would help out at the stall, intrigued by the heat and action and absorbing his father’s tenacious spirit.How Johanne Siy went from having just US$1.25 in her bank to Asia’s best female chef in 2023
In the initial years, Lim faced an uphill task convincing Taiwanese diners, who are used to lighter seasonings and had a more refined palate, to take to the spice-heavy food. Lim would cook the dishes in the flavours he had grown up with, convinced that it was the best-tasting examples ever, only to face negative feedback.
For example, the spicy-sour fish stew ikan assam pedas was made into a cold dish of hamachi wrapped in radish. Instead of the usual tamarind, the sourness of the gravy comes from fermented and juiced local starfruit.
