Exquisite Taste

CORNER HOUSE

-

Located within the expansive and verdant Singapore Botanic Gardens, near the Nassim Gate Entrance off Tyersall Road, the one Michelinst­arred Corner House is a wonderful old twolevel property repurposed as a celebratio­n of E.J.H. Corner, the former Assistant Director of the Singapore Botanic Gardens who lived there for 13 years during his long tenure. Helmed by the acclaimed and multiaward­ing winning Jason Tan, the former executive chef at Sky on 57, a delightful menu has been built around GastroBota­nica, a concept that emphasises refinement and quality and gives equivalent weight to both proteins and the botanical elements. To deliver such a bold concept Tan uses only the best produce which, when allied to his vision and talent, has resulted in some truly spectular dishes presented in a way that the garnishing is as much of a highlight as the main components.

With set menus and the Corner House Degustatio­n backed by what must be one of the most impressive wine lists in the city, there are endless culinary highlights including oignon doux des Cevennes – onion done four ways, the Pear William with red wine, chocolate, hazelnut praline and Indonesian long pepper, and the New Zealand blue cod crispy scales.

For dining there are a variety of individual spaces including The Verandah, with its delightful old-world charm and elegance, The Claret Corner, the restaurant’s sophistica­ted wine cellar, which can be divided off to accommodat­e eight people, or for romance and intimacy The Whispering Corner, a glazed verandah found on the second level.
