Today I’m interviewing Andrew Yip, Head of Future Food at Monde Nissin Singapore, what the heck is Monde Nissin and why are they interesting? They are a philipino based mega food corporation that bought Quorn about 7 years ago.
Andrew was one of the first people I contacted in Singapore mainly because he posts great food content on Linkedin. When I visited him, I was introduced to some amazing food applications using Quorn technology. If you want to see some pictures, check out the shownotes. I have mixed feeling about Quorn. Some products in the United States are not my favorite. Their hot dogs taste like cat food and their nuggets taste like fish but I was super impressed with the spam sticks and bao I tried using Quorn technology.
Anyways, we then did a podcast in the Monde Nissin office.
You’ll learn about Andrew’s journey from being a chef to an R+D scientist, his philosophy in product development and also why Andrew believes Singapore is such a central place for brands like Quorn to set up an Asian HQ there. They are not the only ones.
