Date: 1 September 2024
Time: 2 PM
Venue: Bayu @ Ascott Gurney Penang

Together with her husband and Co-Founder Indra Kantono, Guoyi helms Jigger & Pony Group, a Singapore-based hospitality company known for delivering convivial hospitality through unique F&B concepts.

Founded in 2012 with the opening of Singapore’s celebrated classic cocktail bar Jigger & Pony, which is currently #2 on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2023 list and #14 on the World’s 50 Best Bars 2023 list, the Group now owns and operates seven exceptional restaurants and bars in Singapore. They are: Asian ingredients-focused cocktail bar Gibson (#25 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2020), Live Twice (a cocktail bar inspired by mid-century modern Japan), modern seafood restaurant Humpback, farm-to-table American grill Rosemead, rum-focused cocktail pub Sugarhall, and new-Italian restaurant-bar Caffe Fernet.

The woman behind Jigger & Pony Group’s core philosophy of convivial hospitality, Guoyi’s
background in the field started with six years spent as a flight attendant at Singapore Airlines, where she learnt what hospitality meant across different cultures. She started Jigger & Pony more than a decade ago as a hospitality ideal - to be a place in the community where people can find comfort, forge friendships, and share happiness.
