Our Team

James Tan and Eric Chan, Co-founders & Co-owners

Mad About Sucre was established in 2015 by co-founders James and Eric. Prior to their careers as restaurateurs, James and Eric were successful C-suite executives in marketing, strategy, pre-opening and operations with a total of 5 decades worth of corporate experience.

In 2014, the duo conceptualised and brought to life Mad About Sucre, a restaurant that champions clean eating and a natural lifestyle. Now with its roots established in Singapore, James and Eric hope to introduce Mad About Sucre’s brand of clean eating to more people around the world.
