Peter Chong’s passion for gastronomy has taken him across the world, yet Vietnam remains one of his deepest inspirations. From the lively energy of street markets and the soulful comfort of phở and bánh mì, to the refinement of contemporary fine dining, he has immersed himself in the country’s culinary landscape with curiosity and admiration. His understanding of Vietnamese food is not only wide-ranging but also enriched by years of personal exploration and storytelling.
Yet Peter’s passions extend far beyond timepieces. With a cultivated love for gastronomy, wine, bespoke tailoring, photography, and luxury travel, he has long embraced the broader world of refined living. For several years, he authored and photographed a food blog that chronicled his dining journeys, capturing both the vibrancy of street food and the sophistication of fine dining across Singapore and beyond.
His frequent travels to Vietnam have deepened this pursuit. From bustling markets and iconic street dishes to the country’s expanding constellation of contemporary restaurants, Peter has developed a profound appreciation for the diversity and cultural depth of Vietnamese cuisine. His culinary explorations mirror the same eye for detail and artistry that define his work in horology—an enduring respect for tradition, innovation, and the stories that transform ordinary experiences into lasting memories.
Today, alongside his culinary interests, Peter serves as Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Deployant.com, one of the world’s foremost horology platforms. His unique perspective—bridging fine watchmaking, gastronomy, travel, and luxury lifestyle—reflects a life devoted to celebrating craftsmanship in all its forms and discovering beauty in every detail.
