The 43-year-old is looking to step back for now as he considers a "rethink" regarding his distinctive cuisine.
Whatever his future holds, cooking quality and honest food for customers remain top on his list, he said.
There is also a possibility of him entering a consultancy role for F&B businesses.
"I'm also excited to share my experiences with the next generation of young chefs, and to contribute my expertise to other areas of the F&B industry," he shared.
AsiaOne has reached out to chef Jason for more information.
Having been in the profession for more than 20 years, he has cooked at the highest level — from Corner House, a French restaurant that's held its Michelin star under him from 2016 to 2020, to Euphoria.
Euphoria, which opened in 2020, earned its first Michelin star in 2022 and has retained it yearly ever since.
In March, Euphoria was one of seven Singapore establishments to have made it on the annual Asia's 50 Best Restaurant 2025.
Ranked 48th, its highest position on the list was 20th in 2024.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen defends surgery timeline as Barcelona face player registration woes
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Marc-Andre ter Stegen said on social media he would be out for three months following surgery on his back, leaving Barcelona unable to register new players. BARCELONA, Spain - Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen hit back at suggestions he is to blame for the club's inability to register new players, insisting on Aug 8 that his back surgery and recovery timeline were fully approved by the Spanish champions. The 33-year-old German's three-month rehabilitation schedule has created an unexpected headache for Barcelona, who had hoped to use his injury to ease their Financial Fair Play constraints under LaLiga rules. Barcelona had asked him to sign a long-term medical leave that would allow them to clear 80 per cent of his wages until mid-season and comply with LaLiga's Financial Fair Play rules, thereby allowing them to register new players. But Ter Stegen's announcement on social media that he would be sidelined for only three months irked the club management as LaLiga rules require a player to remain out of action for at least four months to be considered a long-term injury. 'The decision to undergo surgery was made after consultation with medical professionals and fully approved by the club,' Ter Stegen said in a statement on Instagram, a day after he was stripped of the club's captaincy. 'Moreover, I announced publicly the minimum recovery timing that I shall need after that, which had been communicated to me by most reputed experts and always in coordination with the club.' Season starts Aug 15 Barca signed 24-year-old goalkeeper Joan Garcia from local rivals Espanyol in July while Marcus Rashford was signed on loan from Manchester United. Top stories Swipe. Select.

'I would also like to clarify - in light of certain speculation - that all of the club's signings and contract renewals were completed prior to my surgery,' Ter Stegen added. 'Therefore, at no point could I consider that my unfortunate circumstances with the new surgery I had to undergo would be necessary for the registration of other colleagues... Any alternative interpretation seems both unfair and inaccurate to me. 'I understand that difficult moments can generate tension, but I trust through dialogue and responsibility we can resolve this situation constructively. I am fully willing to collaborate with the club's management to resolve the matter and provide the requested authorisation.' The controversy highlights Barcelona's financial struggles as they battle to register new signings once again. Last season, the club approached Spain's National Sports Council to allow them to field Dani Olmo and Pau Victor until the end of the season after LaLiga said they did not have the capacity to register the two players based on their accounts.

Pinterest slumps after flagging soft ad spend in major market U.S
Pinterest shares plunged about 15 per cent on Friday after the image-sharing platform warned of weaker ad spending in the U.S., its biggest market, due to the removal of the "de minimis" trade loophole. Tariffs-driven uncertainty and a suspension of the exemption that allowed packages valued at or under $800 to be shipped to the U.S. without facing import duties have forced some Asian e-commerce companies to scale back their U.S. marketing budgets. Those companies are now focusing on Europe and their home markets, where advertising rates are typically lower than those in North America, impacting ad revenues at Pinterest. The company, known for curating links to lifestyle products such as home decor, fashion accessories and beauty items, saw a 25 per cent decline in advertising prices in the second quarter. With U.S. tariffs in place, the trend is expected to continue. "Management's comments on tariff concerns extending into the third quarter likely spooked the Street," Roth Capital Partners analysts said. A user growth slowdown, especially in North America, also added to investor worries. The company added 8 million users in the quarter to 578 million, lower than the 17 million in the first. It is much smaller than rivals such as Meta-owned Instagram. The stalled user growth is a "significant" concern, AJ Bell head of financial analysis Danni Hewson said. "As followers of the fortunes of MySpace, Bebo and Vine could tell you, it can be hard to regain relevance in the social media world once you have lost it." To boost engagement and attract more ad dollars, Pinterest has been doubling down on investments in shopping tools and personalization. But that is pushing up costs just as revenue growth is under pressure, hitting profits. The company's quarterly adjusted profit per share of 33 cents fell short of expectations of 35 cents on Thursday as total costs and expenses jumped 15 per cent.
