Sonder is helmed by Chef Joe Leong, who comes from a family of professional chefs. Most notably, his father, Sam Leong, is a renowned celebrity chef who founded Forest, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Resorts World Sentosa.

Previously working in various dining establishments like Forest and V Dining, Chef Joe has stepped out of his father’s shadow as the head chef of Sonder.
