Nicco Santos
Chef/co-owner of Celera and Sambar; Chef/co-founder, Café Aurora
Known for his impeccable mastery of Asian flavours, with a focus on Peranakan fare, chef Nicco Santos paints us a scrumptious picture through every brushstroke of his menu at Café Aurora, an elevated smart casual concept serving approachable yet sophisticated Southeast Asian highlights. In partnership with chef Quenee Vilar, Café Aurora impresses as it serves diners smartly seasoned meals that are worth returning for, in its dimly lit dining room. Soon he will open his fine dining concept, Celera where these flavours will be finessed into a tasting menu experience. At his more casual project, the cloud kitchen Sambar, he delivers street-food favourites that keep loyal patrons’ cravings quenched and coming back for more.
