Pinoys on Parliament 2023: Panels and Speakers
Mark Singson
Growing up in Vancouver, Mark Singson has been able to explore, in detail, the three pillars that inspire everything he does - Food; Art; Music, and they have had a profound impact on the culinary creations for which he is celebrated.
At the beginning of his career, Mark had the privilege of working at some Vancouver main-stays such as The Fairmont Pacific Rim, Oakwood, and Boneta, to name a few. Eager to expand his horizons, Mark ventured off to Melbourne, Australia where he worked at Vue De Monde, and Saint Crispin before hosting the first of many Pop-Ups with much success. Upon his return, Mark successfully helped open the acclaimed AnnaLena, which currently sits on the Canada’s 100 Best list of restaurants.
Inspiration comes in many forms for Mark - most often, though, from his Filipino roots, which inspire a multitude of dishes or become fresh takes on traditional dishes. Mark hopes to introduce the ingredients and flavours of his childhood to a wider audience while incorporating modern techniques that create a refined dining experience.
