Located in Robertson Quay, the U.S. Center for Dairy Excellence (U.S. CDE) is the first of its kind established outside of the United States of America. Designed as a learning destination and ideation hub, it focuses on promoting dairy products and cementing its relationship with Southeast Asian business partners.
The brief was straightforward — shooting breakfast favourites and well-loved regional dishes with dairy products as the highlight. We curated a wide variety of dishes — appetizers, mains, desserts, and beverages. Each shot places the main dish front and centre, with embellishments of accompanying ingredients. Heritage dishes were given a warmer treatment and vintage props to evoke the aesthetics of yesteryears. In contrast, modern dishes and breakfast sets were given a cooler and brighter treatment, but with similar ingredient styling for a cohesive look and feel.
