He read law at the University of Sheffield, completed his postgraduate studies at the London School of Economics, and was called to the Bar in London before returning to Singapore in 1997. Upon his return, Peng began his career as a corporate litigator before leaving the legal profession to pursue his passion in hospitality.

A member of the Singapore Tourism Board’s Tourism Consultative Council, he was recognised with the New Tourism Entrepreneur Award in 2004 for his transformation of a humble shophouse into the iconic Hotel 1929. In 2011, he was again honoured with the Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year Award at the Singapore Experience Awards. In 2016, the World Gourmet Summit presented him with the Lifetime Achievement Award, recognising his contributions to the food and beverage industry.
