Our Culinary Heritage
 
PasirPanjangBoy began as a tribute to Tinoq’s childhood in the vibrant kampong neighborhood of Pasir Panjang in the 1960s, where the spirit of community and love for food was woven into everyday life. Growing up in this multicultural enclave, Tinoq’s earliest lessons in cooking came from his mother, neighbors, and even the pushcart hawkers who introduced him to a kaleidoscope of flavors. These humble beginnings have shaped the way we approach food today—with heart, soul, and a deep respect for heritage and fresh ingredients.
 
Over the last two decades, Tinoq’s reputation as a celebrity makeup artist and hairstylist grew hand-in-hand with his love for food. Famed for feting his clients with comforting home-cooked meals during makeovers and shoots, the demand for his dishes led to the birth of PasirPanjangBoy, where his passion for food took center stage.
 
In 2018, we launched our experiential dining concept, 1 Catty n a Pinch, in our charming vintage apartment in Tiong Bahru. Designed to evoke the warmth of a family meal, we recreate dishes that bring back fond memories for our guests. Our private dining experience includes a guided tour of our edible garden, where we share stories about the plants and herbs we grow—a nod to our kampong roots.
 
More Than Just Food
 
Our culinary journey doesn’t stop at cooking. Over the years, PasirPanjangBoy has collaborated with global brands like Bosch Home Appliances, Tiffany, and Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, creating immersive dining experiences and food demonstrations that showcase the beauty of Southeast Asian cooking.
 
We also offer food consultancy services, helping dining establishments with menu creation, market research, restaurant design, and ingredient sourcing. Beyond our professional endeavors, we are deeply committed to charity work, partnering with organizations to support causes close to our hearts through collaborations and food supply initiatives.
 
Meet Tinoq & Dylan
 
Tinoq Russell Goh
A veteran and highly sought-after makeup artist and stylist, Tinoq’s first love has always been food. His cooking is deeply inspired by the kampong-style dishes of his childhood, which are infused with multi-racial flavors and an unyielding passion for bringing people together. From his signature butterfly pea flower coconut rice to ngor hiang with homemade chili cuca, every dish is a heartfelt celebration of life and heritage.
 
Dylan
Dylan’s culinary journey began with his family’s farming roots, where he developed a profound respect for nature and its gifts. A strong advocate for fuss-free cooking, Dylan believes that food should let its natural flavors shine. His love for vegetarian food complements Tinoq’s hearty fare, creating a perfect balance in our kitchen. Whether it’s researching ingredients or learning from the masters in Japan, Dylan’s meticulous approach ensures every dish is thoughtfully crafted.
 
Together, we’ve explored how the environment shapes produce, delving deep into the origins of every ingredient we use. Our shared vision for food—one that values authenticity, freshness, and sustainability—forms the cornerstone of PasirPanjangBoy.
