Introducing our Operational Manager, Head Chef and Chef Instructor, Andri Guntur. With over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry; he is ready to share and nurture all the students, including our team members, with his knowledge, talent, and ideas.
He has liked to cook since elementary school by selling sandwiches recooked from his parent’s grocery stall. From that, he continued to pursue his love for the culinary field at NHI, the school of culinary arts in Bandung. He then trained at The American Club, Singapore.
From that, he started his career at Movenpick Doha, Qatar in charge of the Western and Asian culinary section. Afterward, he returned to Indonesia to continue his culinary journey at The Apartment Jakarta and Cassis European Dining Jakarta.
Traveling to Bali with his lovely family, he started his own business as a chef-owner of Waroeng Uun’s and Cahaya Tsamara as a supplier of frozen fruit and Indonesian traditional spices. At the same time, he worked at Kentongan, Indonesian Food & Beer Terrace Bali as an Executive Chef & Operational Manager.
His last endeavor brought him to sugarhead Bakehouse & Academy where he is in charge of the operational aspects as Manager, Head Chef, and Head of sugarhead Academy.
Sheldo Winoto has been in love with cooking since his childhood. Born in Kediri – East Java, he spent his early years watching cooking shows on television and cooking at home. In High School, he discovered the joy of baking and in 2009 he received a Diploma in Pastry and Bakery from the renowned NHI Bandung Institute of Tourism. In 2013 he arrived in Dubai where he made a name for himself at five-star hotels such as The Oberoi Dubai, St. Regis – W Hotel, The Westin Al Habtoor City Hotel Complex, and Five Palm Jumeirah Dubai. He delights in creating unique desserts by pairing local taste with a touch of French pastry magic. Before returning to his Bali roots in 2019 Sheldo left his mark in the Dubai food world. The Tropical Lamington is now a patent delicacy on the dessert menu of his last property to work in Dubai.
For him, pastry is unique, with unlimited art, a meditative state, and a passion. On returning to Bali he joined Ulu Cliffhouse as the Head Pastry Chef. During the pandemic, he joined Mamaka by Ovolo Bali. He fell in love with Sugarhead Bali and proceeded to bring the sweet spell and magic that comes alive in his desserts. He is thrilled to be a Sugarhead Pastry Chef Instructor who can share his considerable knowledge and his many pastry tricks with our delightful students.
“Creating a dessert is like remembering and making a moment that I enjoyed in my whole life”.
