Candlenut
Top 6 in Top 13 Best Restaurants In Singapore
The Candlenut's new COMO Dempsey location breaks from the stark design of its prior Dorsett Residences location. Large straw lanterns dangle from the roof, weaved baskets line the flooring, and vintage objects like an ice kachang machine complete the look. It's worthy of a Michelin star while being warm and friendly.
Dining here is a group activity. Choose from Lee's classic 'ahmakase' menu ($65 for lunch, $88 for dinner) or the new à la carte menu. A kueh pie tee ($20), which is loaded with hamachi tartare, pickled shallots, and laksa leaf pesto. Put the entire piece in your mouth and you'll discover that it's nothing to write home about. Because of its simplicity, the chap chye ($18) stands out. The vegetables are cooked until they reach the ideal texture, which is a cross between chewy and melt-in-your-mouth. Other standouts include wok-fried sambal tiger prawns with petai beans ($24) and Petuna ocean trout curry ($30). After all, Lee's cuisine is unquestionably a source of pride for us.
