SEP / OCT 2018 THE PADANG 11F E ATURE
IN CONVERSATION WITH CHEF VIK
Recently promoted to Chef de Cuisine for The Padang, SCC’s signature restaurant,
we spoke to Chef Vik about his journey as a culinary master.
Why did you decide to become a Chef?
I started off stewarding and working as a kitchen helper in
the hotel industry at a young age of 16 years. Over time,
I realized that my fascination for cooking grew stronger
and I enjoyed watching cooking shows and learning new
cooking techniques.
I was mentored by celebrity chef, Emmanuel Stroobant,
and landed my first job in 2009 as Chef de Partie under
his mentorship. Since then, I have been on a continuous
quest to improve upon my recipes and learn as much as
I can.
Tell us about your journey as a Chef with SCC.
It was a different environment for me when I first started
off in SCC. For me, having a good team and establishing
a standard way of preparing menu items are essential
in this industry. I prefer to lead a team by being on
the ground with them and I guide them to ensure that
the proper cooking techniques and plating process is
followed through.
This is important to ensure that Members receive the
same or even, better dining experience with The Padang
Restaurant. I am thankful to the management for their
strong support and for trusting the vision I have for the
restaurant.
What is your favorite cuisine to cook?
I enjoy cooking French and modern European cuisines,
mainly because of my past experience dealing with more
intricate recipes.
How do you get your inspiration?
I think that the people we work closely with play a huge
role in motivating us. This is something I picked up
from my mentor. Leadership is an important factor in
inspiration.
What’s your favourite dish on the menu and why?
Do you think you can further innovate the menu?
The Scallops!
Definitely but I would like to focus on the modern
To be honest, when I first started as a Chef with SCC, European cuisine instead of the Asian varieties because
scallops had been a constant dish on the menu, but we already have a very good Asian menu at The Oval
the dish lacked substantial ingredients. So I decided to and Verandah. I would like to see how we can incorporate

Building Friendships
SCC RECIPROCAL CLUBS:
Through Sports
Sports has a most wonderful way of bringing people together. The SCC helps make it easier for its Members to
establish contact and facilitate the building of relationships through visits, tours and sports tournaments with its
reciprocal clubs around the world.
At the recent Soccer7’s, we caught up with Members from two of SCC’s reciprocal clubs where football teams have
been participating in the tournament for many years now - the Royal Bangkok Sports Club (RBSC) from Thailand and
the Yokohama Country and Athletic Club (YCAC) from Japan – and asked what has motivated them to return to the
SCC each year.
Ever since we participated back in 2009, the SCC
Soccer Tournament itself has improved a lot in terms of
the quality of the teams that participate, the hospitality
and management, and the people working behind the
curtains.
It has really offered us a lot of pleasure and joy for the
game we love; it is fantastic to be able to play right in
the centre of the Padang, the heart of the beautiful city
of Singapore.
We would like to be invited once again, we really
appreciate the warm hospitality we get to enjoy from the
Club and the Members and staff; we appreciate every
single minute of it.
Joe Takeda - Yokohama Country and Athletic Club (YCAC)
YCAC was honoured at the Soccer7’s Gala Dinner for 10 straight
years of participation in the SCC Soccer Tournaments since 2009.
The first time I came to Singapore to represent RBSC at the SCC Soccer Tournament was in 1998. Since then,
I’ve returned 10 times, and I see myself continuing to visit SCC to play, upgrading from the Open category to the
Legends category.
Singapore is a nice place to visit, and it is a great feeling to be able to play on the pitch in the middle of the city.
Whenever we come, we enjoy ourselves as a team, and it is also a chance for us to meet old friends. We’ve made
many friends with other teams who participate regularly in the Tournament over the years - YCAC is a good friends
of ours, and of course SCC is always good to us.

• An introduction of Snooker and Pool to Club mem-

• Raise awareness of the facilities available, especially
the Pool Table which was recently installed and
offered free of charge for members’ play.
• Create an opportunity for SCC Members to socialize
and bonding.
At 11am, we started our first game between the Squash
and the Billiards and Snooker Sections and hopefully the
beginning of a new tradition in SCC. While the friendly
tournament progressed, free flow of beers and light
snack were served.
During the first round of the Knock Out format, players
were to play to the end of the frame as for some, this
was their first experience in Snookers and Pool. After the
first round, a time limit of 20 minutes was imposed and
there was some fierce competitiveness especially from
the Golf, Cricket, Lawn Bowl and Squash Sections.

Winner with a 3-0 victory in the final and became the
first winner of the inaugural SCC Intersection Cuesports
tournament 2018. Golf Section won the Challenge

won a $150 F&B Voucher. There was a good spread of
buffet dinner for all participants after the event which ran
into the late evening together with the free flow of beers.
I hope all participants enjoyed the one-day event; we
certainly achieved our objectives. Our next event will be

GOLFERS CORNER @ MEN’S BAR
Thanks to SCC President Sher Baljit Singh, Deputy President Zoher Motiwalla, Chairman GCB Matthew
Streeton, and members of the General Committee, the Golf Section now has a “Golfers Corner” and a wall of fame
at the Men’s Bar. This is the epitome of our treasured SCC Sports culture where every Sports Section is equally
honored and supported.
The Golfers Corner captures our remarkable past glory, honors our Golf Champions and keeps alive the
Golf Section’s never-say-die spirit while setting a dynamic mission standard for the future.
The Golf Section was established in 1984 and is arguably the largest sports section in the Club which
offers Members a full year calendar of competitive and social golf games at both local and overseas golf
courses. In addition we host a quarterly social night with excellent F&B and a live band, a shotgun start Annual
Golf Championship and a sell-out Christmas Social Golf game with a smashing after-game Christmas Party Bash
at the Padang Restaurant.
