Inspired by the rich diversity of culture and produce that South-East Asia brings, experience laut at its most authentic. With local sea produce as their main inspiration, they have created a fusion between local favourites and modern gastronomy. The result? Mindblowing. Try their Oyster Eggs (S$11), a classic dish of steam egg with local seagrapes and oyster,  the 'best-of-both-world' Carrot Cake (S$15), Squid Gado Gado (S$25), traditional Malay peanut sauce-dressed salad with a seared whole squid and our favourites, Tataki-style Tuna (S$15) that tastes almost exactly like Char Siew and the Otah (S$32) that we guarantee you can finish the whole dish, including the tail.

Experience it best with the award-winning bartender’s cocktails like Grass, Kumquat, Sugarcane and June Plume. All with an Asian twist of either fruit, herbs and spices!

P.S. They have a 3-course lunch set at S$29. Perfect for an escape from the bustling day for an afternoon break.

P.P.S. All the ingredients are sourced from South East Asia and each ingredient used in their dishes are well-thought-through to be used thoroughly!
