From addict to celebrated chef, ceramist and triathlete: Chef Heman Tan on being moulded by God.
The 53-year-old, who is married with three teenagers, is today completely different from the self-described “useless” drug addict he was once was.
Yet, he told Salt&Light humbly: “Even today, God is still moulding and changing me. It’s a process, never a one-time thing.”
Growing up with dyslexia and partial hearing loss caused by a bad fever, Heman struggled as a child in school and was looked down on by his classmates.
As a result, he developed a deep sense of inferiority that led him to join a gang when he was just 12 years old. “I needed to make sure that I had somebody to back me up so I could fight back,” he said.
But it was a decision that cost him more than a decade of his life. “Whatever nonsense things you can name, I’ve done,” he said, declining to give more details on his past vices.
