6. Shane Pow Launches Taiyo Camp Club By Taiyo at Chef X
Local celebrity and host Shane Pow is taking on a two-month residency at Chef X with Taiyo Camp Club by Taiyo, a cosy camping-themed pop-up. Running now until 6 January 2026, the experience brings the warmth of rustic outdoor cooking to the heart of Clarke Quay Central. This marks Shane’s debut as the 10th resident chef at Chef X, where he’ll serve hearth-inspired treats along with his much-loved artisanal banana loaves from Taiyo Bread Shop.
Shane’s baking journey began as a simple passion project during breaks from acting, when he started experimenting with ripe bananas in his home kitchen. Encouraged by overwhelming support from fans and friends on Instagram, he spent six months perfecting his recipes before officially launching Taiyo Bread Shop.
At the pop-up, visitors can finally get their hands on his three signature banana loaf flavours — Going Bananas, Nutty Nana, and Chocoloco — known for their moist texture and rich aroma. These loaves often sell out quickly online, but will now be available in person.
Taiyo Camp Club brings its bakes to a broader audience through a cosy campfire-inspired concept. Guests can enjoy the signature loaves (from S$30 per loaf or S$4 per slice) along with exclusive creations such as a fragrant Kohaku Focaccia made with burnt butter, and a decadent Belgium Chocolate Cake. The menu also features comforting savoury bites, such as Midnight Ramyeon (kimchi noodles with popcorn chicken) and Golden Drumlets.
In support of the community, Taiyo Camp Club will donate a portion of the proceeds to Care Corner Singapore. The pop-up also partners with De’Longhi and local herbal tea brand Ele Tea, offering a range of beverages to complete the campfire experience.
Chef X is located at Clarke Quay Central, 6 Eu Tong Sen Street, #03-103/104, Singapore 059817.
