Andr\u00e9 Chiang has had huge success in his life. He’s the only Chinese chef to make the Michelin Guide World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants list, as well as the top Chef list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But in 2018, Andr\u00e9, who is recognised as Asia’s culinary leader, decided to close down his fine dining restaurant, Restaurant ANDRE, which came as a shock to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s no wonder that Andr\u00e9 and his restaurant made it to Netflix as his story is one like no other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Singaporean filmmaker Josiah Ng gave viewers a glimpse into Andr\u00e9’s world in the Netflix documentary Andr\u00e9 & his olive tree<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The intimate documentary follows Andr\u00e9, Taiwan\u2019s first Michelin-starred chef-restaurateur, as he documents his experiences of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9 is famed for his “Octaphilosophy”. This cooking philosophy is based on eight characteristics: Unique, Texture, Memory, Pure, Terroir, Salt, South and Artisan. This is said to be “the backbone of the creative process of ANDRE\u2019s creation<\/em>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is evident from the Netflix documentary that Andr\u00e9 is a perfectionist. And the closure of his successful restaurant, Restaurant ANDRE, along with a request not to be included in the 2018 edition of the Michelin Guide Singapore, is said to have been in a bid to achieve perfection. The\u00a0restaurant closed\u00a0in February 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chef Andr\u00e9 is married to Sudarampai Chiang. The couple tied the knot in 2006 after knowing each other for just three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Andr\u00e9 is Taiwanese, his wife, known as “Pam”, is from Thailand. The couple are often pictured together on her Instagram @sudarampai<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWho is chef Andr\u00e9’s wife?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
