Culinary whiz Andrea DeCruz enjoys preparing Peranakan dishes like pork rib buah keluak and sambal petai prawns. Here’s how she masterfully whips up everything in her home kitchen with V-ZUG’s sleek appliances
To Andrea DeCruz, cooking is a labour of love. The self-taught cook first started her culinary journey when she was a student in university, sharpening her skills by preparing home-cooked meals for her sister whom she shared an apartment with.
The former actress-turned-entrepreneur honed her craft further when she got married; DeCruz credits her knack for cooking flavourful Peranakan meals for her loved ones to her mother-in-law, who she describes as a “wonderful Peranakan cook”, with her actor husband Pierre Png and loved ones happily relishing all the delicious meals she prepares.

The kitchen is often termed the heart of the home, and this rings especially true for DeCruz and Png. The warm and cosy space is where one can find DeCruz displaying her culinary skills frequently. And as any discerning home chef will understand, having state-of-the-art appliances in the kitchen helps streamline the process of whipping up a gourmet meal—which is why it’s only fitting that their kitchen is furnished with premium appliances from Swiss manufacturer V-ZUG.
