Ex-Owner of Twelve Cupcakes, Started Multiple Restaurants

Before this new F&B venture, Ong was perhaps most well-known as the former owner of Twelve Cupcakes.

In 2011, he founded the dessert store with ex-wife Jamie Teo. They sold it to an Indian tea company for $2.5 million in end-2016.

However, in 2021, Ong was fined $65,000 for underpaying and failing to pay the salaries of seven employees, This happened when he was still a director at the company.

Teo and Ong have since said that it was a third-party employment agency hired by their HR director that was responsible for the crime.

Since Twelve Cupcakes, Ong has gone on to start multiple restaurants, including Rookery, Mischief, and Dan’s Steaks. He also started the craft beer brand Brewlander with other business partners.
