Irene Sunshine

Hi, I’m Irene Sunshine Hamons, and my life is shaped by three passions— FOOD, ART, and COMMUNITY. Through 'Private dining,' I create more than just meals—I craft intimate, soulful experiences, where flavors tell stories and every dish is made with heart. With 'Art of Awakening', I bring ideas to life through visual storytelling, turning complex thoughts into something meaningful and inspiring. And with 'Impactful New You', I hold space for authentic connections, sparking conversations that uplift and transform. For me, life is about creating, sharing, and growing together—one meal, one story, and one moment at a time. ✨

Culinary Passion

I specialise in crafting exclusive private dining experiences, where food is not just a meal but a journey—blending flavors, culture, and artistry into every dish. Based in tropical Singapore, I bring my love for Asia and Italian-Japanese fusion cuisine to intimate gatherings, curating menus that are both healthy and indulgent, inspired by my global adventures.

 

My private dining experience is set in a stunning rooftop space, offering breathtaking sunset views and a jacuzzi, designed for a select group of up to 10 guests. Here, I take guests on a gastronomic adventure, featuring Asia as well as Fusion cuisine, handcrafted drinks and special selected French wine.

 

My culinary journey began at the age of nine, learning from my mother, an incredible home chef who mastered Chinese, Malay, and Indian cuisine. One of my most cherished memories is baking mooncakes with my mom and daughter—three generations, coming together through food, tradition, and love. That deep connection with food and family shapes everything I create today.

Beyond hosting intimate dining experiences, I also teach masterclasses:
🍞 Sourdough Baking – From starter cultivation to specialty bakes & scoring techniques.
🍹 Kombucha Brewing – From fundamental brewing to advanced flavoring & tasting.

During the holiday season, I channel my passion into fundraising workshops and festive dining experiences, such as my Christmas Gastronomia Experience, featuring smoked duck Wellington, Japanese snow crab risotto, and festive desserts.​

 

Whether through food, design, or inspiration talks like my "Impactful New You" series, I love creating experiences that leave a lasting impact.​If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind private dining experience, where food tells a story and every bite is crafted with heart, let’s connect!

Creative Work

As the Co-founder of Art of Awakening, a visual consulting firm that helps individuals and organizations communicate ideas more effectively through visual storytelling, sketchnoting, and creative strategy. My work transforms complex concepts into engaging, easy-to-understand visuals, making information more accessible, inspiring, and memorable.

Community & Contribution

During COVID time, I set up Sunshine New You, a platform where I’ve hosted a series of inspiration talks featuring authentic and thought-provoking speakers. ‘Impactful New You’ is a platform dedicated to fostering heart felt connections and personal growth. Through meaningful conversations and shared experiences, it inspires individuals to embrace change, self-reflection, and the power of community. To date, we have conducted seven runs of 'Impactful New You'.

 

In 2024, with the setup of NY Café, we also launch "Impactful New YOUTH" which extends the NEW YOU vision to younger generations, empowering them to explore their potential, build confidence, and develop a sense of purpose. It’s about giving youth the tools and support to navigate their journey with strength and resilience.

 

We consistently organise a wide range of sustainability initiatives, some designed by ourselves and some by partnering with amazing individuals and organisations. Some activities includes:

* Zero Carbon Cycle

* Give-A-Gift

* 2030 SDGs Game

* ComChest Fudai

We will continue this journey to support growth and bring smile to every corner we go. 

Do contact us if you are keen to join us a volunteer.
