Despite the long hours involved in running two restaurants, with a third opening this July that will serve Thai cuisine, Liew relishes being in control of how she manages her time, somehow finding the headspace in between meetings and calls to be there for her family and her team.

“It’s so important to keep evolving in this business to stay relevant; to keep striving and never look back," she adds. "My father also taught me that leadership is by example. We have to work hard if we want the people around us to do the same. I’m so proud to be able to manage a dedicated team that puts great effort into making sure our restaurants deliver the best.”

Having refined her time management skill over the years, Liew’s idea of downtime today takes many forms: from joyous family gatherings and fitness activities to those rare and brief moments to herself with a glass of Johnnie Walker Blue Label in hand at the end of a hectic day.

“What I look for in a glass of whiskey is a beautiful aroma and a rare blend,” says Liew. “I love how rich, smoky, and smooth Johnnie Walker Blue Label is. With each sip, there are new layers of flavours to discover and always something new.”

Striking a remarkable balance of flavour, smokiness and warmth, Blue Label represents a celebration of those rare achievements in life, whether it’s the feat of maintaining two restaurants through a pandemic or the joy of seeing loved ones face-to-face after being apart for so long. Meant to be savoured and appreciated, every sip houses a rare and exceptional taste that's found in only one of every 10,000 casks—truly a fitting drink to fete life’s one-in-a-million moments.
