Naeum Restaurant

The 2nd restaurant in the list of the best restaurants in Singapore is Naeum Restaurant. Louis Han, the chef, grew up in Korea, worked in Abu Dhabi, and met his wife in Singapore. Each destination on his travels helped define a separate phase in his life – and the 31-year-old hopes to keep these cherished memories and prior experiences alive through food at his first restaurant.

Thus, Naeum Restaurant is an ode to remembering. The wood-washed 28-seater exudes homey comfort, with an open kitchen for curious eyes, and an episodic menu that delves into the chef's personal journey and mind. Although Korean flavors take center stage, the meal is not bound by tradition; global ideas are included in the inaugural dishes prepared using some of Louis' favorite ingredients.

Naeum will give a taste of Korea in take-out boxes during this stay-at-home period. A bansung menu ($78) will be available on a weekly basis, featuring items such as grilled pork, pancakes, and duck galbi patties. Otherwise, don your chef's hat and try your hand at making the chef's uni somyeon ($98 for two) with a curated kit of noodles, seasonings, 50g of sea urchin, and abalone mulhwae; or a gourmet barbeque feast ($298 for three) featuring ready-to-cook slices of nuruk dry-aged wagyu striploin, galbi-marinated Iberico pluma, gochujang-laced chicken thigh, plus sauces and vegetables.
