The Climb
Great bars depend on tempo as much as technique, and Chew Qing Ting works in that register at Madame Fan (Singapore) and Steep Social (Penang). As Head Bartender at Madame Fan, the bar is a place where service, timing, and control have to land cleanly; as co-founder of Steep Social, the work shifts to shaping a hospitality identity from the ground up. In both roles, Chew’s name stands behind the same basic discipline: keep the room moving, keep the standards clear, and let the details do the talking. At Madame Fan (Singapore), the Head Bartender’s brief is not just to pour well but to hold a bar with composure. Chew Qing Ting’s work there reads as measured and precise, with each action serving the larger rhythm of the room. That balance of craft and presence matters behind a bar where execution and atmosphere have to stay in step. Steep Social (Penang) sits on the other side of the trade: building rather than running, defining rather than repeating. As co-founder, Chew Qing Ting is part of the work of giving a place shape and keeping that shape consistent. The result is a profile built on two complementary forms of hospitality labor—daily service at Madame Fan and founding work at Steep Social—both rooted in steady judgment rather than noise.
