Desiree

I love the ocean, which is the reason why I live on a boat. It lets me appreciate what life has to offer at its simplest. Growing up in a modern society, a lot of my previous traditions and cultural roots seem faded and lost. I’m half Hainanese and half Peranakan, regardless 100% Singaporean. Food is the most beloved thing about my culture, and I would like to strive to keep it alive.

Delicious Singaporean food on a boat! The most unique dining experience that I have ever had.

I had such a wonderful time with Chef Desireé on her lovely boat in the peaceful Berkeley marina. The food was incredible and even though I hadn't heard of Paranakan food before, I was delighted by the flavor of the food and the authentic manner in which it was prepared. I will definitely be going back for more!

What an adventure, from finding the right pier in the Berkeley Marina right up to the satisfying "pop" of the sweet potato-palm sugar dessert! Desiree is a wonderful host, welcoming guests onto her 30' boat for an afternoon of sunshine, wonderful scents, and new flavors. I can't wait for my next taste of Singapore's famous hawker fare, made by Desiree!

Food was great - def tasted like a warm home cooked meal. The samosas and palm sugar dessert were awesome! Desiree is a great host and fun conversationalist. We had some good laughs that night and would totally recommend this to others!!

Desiree was such a funny outgoing animated host, we had a good 7 people in her cozy boat and she worked her magic in the kitchen – learned a lot about Peranankan food/culture and tried a bunch of spices jams and foods that I would not know how to buy at supermarkets on my own. I'll definitely be recommending her to friends!

Great food and a wonderful experience. Desiree was a great host and introduced us to a bunch of Peranakan food, all of which were delicious. The stew with nuts was great. And of course everything tastes better on a boat!

The experience was exactly what I expected, and hoped, it would be- a warm, casual, mellow dinner on a sailboat. Awesome food and genuine people. Highly recommended.

Desiree blew us away with her food, hospitality and unique setting. A well thought out menu ensured everyone in the group was beyond satisfied. She is a very bubbly personality which makes everyone feel at home instantly. Will recommend her highly and will return to her for sure!
