Looking for a unique afternoon tea that celebrates Singapore’s rich culinary roots? Step into Pacific Emporium at Pan Pacific Singapore, where a refreshed afternoon tea experience awaits, crafted with heart, heritage, and a whole lot of flavor.
Nestled on Level 1 of the hotel, this all-day gourmet café brings a modern twist to tradition, led by the newly appointed Executive Pastry Chef Edina Si. If her name sounds familiar, it’s because Chef Edina has been making waves in the pastry world for years, and now, she’s back at Pan Pacific Singapore to lead the charge with her signature style.

Meet the Chef Behind the Magic
Chef Edina’s journey began in a family kitchen, guided by her mother’s culinary skills and her grandmother’s baking wisdom. That early passion took her all the way to Le Cordon Bleu in Paris at just 16, where she trained in both cuisine and pastry.
From there, she honed her craft under legendary chefs like Chef Yamashita Masataka and Chef Jérôme Chaucesse, and even collaborated with pastry stars like Cédric Grolet and Nicolas Paciello during her time at Fauchon. Her style is global, but her heart remains rooted in local flavours—using the best of Singaporean ingredients to tell stories through dessert.
Her return to Pan Pacific Singapore marks a homecoming, having previously served as Assistant Pastry Chef. Now at the helm of the pastry team, Chef Edina is setting a new standard across the hotel - from weddings and events to the award-winning buffet restaurant Edge, and of course, the showstopping afternoon tea at Pacific Emporium.
