Encore began with master patissier Barry Symington, who trained under a French chef and dedicated over 40 years to perfecting the art of baking. In 2006, he founded Encore in Sydney, Australia — a brand rooted in French craftsmanship, Austrian elegance, and the belief that desserts can spread joy. Barry’s passion wasn’t just about technique — it was about heart. Every pastry he made carried a sense of generosity, warmth, and exacting quality. In 2013, Barry met Lin, a young aspiring baker who shared his love for the craft. Their bond grew beyond mentorship — built on trust, respect, and a shared vision. In 2014, Barry brought Encore to Malaysia, passing the brand into Lin’s hands, along with his values: integrity, passion, and perfection. Today, Encore Malaysia continues Barry’s legacy — baking fresh daily with 100% handmade techniques and no shortcuts. Our creations reflect our core: craftsmanship, generosity, and joy. Encore is more than just desserts. It’s a promise — to bake happiness, one bite at a time.
