The take

Nine courses of modern Singaporean in a conserved Blair Plain shophouse (Duxton / Neil / Craig). Not a hawker centre, not a three-star dining room, not Baba House (closed through 2027). Address after booking.

Hosting since 2016

Chef cooking a modern Singaporean tasting in a conserved Blair Plain shophouse — the URA conservation precinct on Duxton / Neil / Craig, not a hawker night and not Keong Saik's bars. The menu changes; chilli crab is a flavour, not a bucket of mud crab. Baba House at 157 Neil Road is closed for restoration through 2027 (NUS) — this table is not that house.

Highlights

  • 9-course tasting in a conserved Blair Plain shophouse
  • Modern Singaporean, not a copy of Odette or Jumbo
  • Wine and zero-proof pairings available (extra)

What you'll do

  1. 1

    7:00 PM

    Welcome bites

    Sambal tartlets and a laksa-leaf drink on the shophouse roof. Address after booking — it is a residential street.

  2. 2

    7:30 PM

    The table

    Nine courses, one long table. Tell us allergies when you book; this is not à la carte.

  3. 3

    10:00 PM

    Sweet end

    Kaya and teh-tarik desserts. You are out before the Keong Saik bars peak.
