The Korean chef and businesswoman was invited to spend some quality time concocting beloved home recipes together with her little girl at Fisher & Paykel’s new showroom in Singapore
Food has always been at the heart of every occasion for the illustrious chef Olivia Lee-Lepinoy, who has worked in Dubai’s Burj Al Arab and Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris. Undeniably, this passion begins from ardent memories of growing up in a Korean household where good home-cooked meals are always cherished.
“I felt drawn to being in the kitchen after surprising my whole family with something I cooked. They were amazed that the little girl had made some soup. While it was not very good, they still expressed how much it pleased them,” recounts Lee-Lepinoy. “This compliment brought me so much joy and made me realise that cooking was something I could do very well. Since then I began cooking together with my grandma when she made kimchi and I was like the little hand always helping her.”
As her daughter has become a little older, Olivia Lee-Lepinoy is similarly passing down this heartfelt activity during the precious moments spent in her kitchen; the chef was invited to have a fun cooking session with her daughter Laura in the newly opened Fisher & Paykel showroom in Singapore.

Fresh produce can be kept in its best condition, with the Fisher & Paykel refrigerator that boasts excellent temperature and moisture control. It also features flexible and variable temperature settings so that the compartments within the refrigerator can be easily optimised and rearranged to ingredient, produce or, wine — a great fit for Lee-Lepinoy to keep food fresh for longer especially with her mission of carrying premium Korean ingredients and produce to the masses with her online business, SoGoodK. “I started my marketing company, BrandFit, four years ago because I wanted to help Korean farmers and raise awareness about my country’s great ingredients,” quips Lee-Lepinoy excitedly. “After seeing the demand and effectiveness of my marketing business, naturally I thought about doing the selling too. I started SoGoodK, because these Korean products taste so good and I wanted to introduce this to Singapore.”

Beyond recreating treasured dishes from home recipes with the use of innovative cooking and cooling appliances, the kitchen has, without a doubt, become a place to unwind with delicious meals for the mother-daughter pair. “Now that she’s growing, it’s interesting to see her tastebuds change every time we eat together. She’s a happy person who eats well, and that’s okay. My friends even seem to think she’ll be a foodie one day since she knows what’s good,” shares Lee-Lepinoy.
