MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
One Star: High quality cooking
The high ceiling makes the dining room feel open and spacious, while bamboo lampshades and rattan chair add a sense of serenity. Influenced by his mother and grandma, the young chef cooks traditional Peranakan fare with a creative twist and an Indonesian touch. The menu features many one-bite dishes, with up to 100 combinations. Those having difficulty making a choice can opt for the 20-course tasting menu. Service is warm and friendly.
