Chef-owner Willin Low continues to purvey his distinct brand of modern Singaporean fare in dishes such as a spinach salad dressed in palak (Indian spinach sauce), with toasted squares of halloumi standing in for traditional Indian paneer (cottage cheese). He riffs on Singaporean favourites like Hokkien prawn noodles and beef rendang, turning them into comfortingly modern creations such as prawn stock-infused pasta and slow-cooked short ribs. Since Low started the restaurant in 2005, his menu has evolved to include inspirations from his many travels—think Shanghainese kao cai with quinoa and Filipino adobo in cannelloni.
