Native
Native has made quite a reputation for itself, thanks to Vijay Mudallar’s uncompromising approach to creating cocktails with regional and local ingredients. And now, you can experience its philosophy in the form of a full-service restaurant built on the same principles. Conveniently located on the first floor, just below the cocktail bar, the unimposing, casual setting is perfect for nostalgic, comfort food with a dash of adventure and the usual experimental segues. Head chef MJ Teoh, who has previous stints at Pollen, Nouri and Appetite, has conjured up a hearty menu with homegrown vibes – and plenty of vegetarian options.
Really Cold Somen that is equal parts spicy, savoury, sweet and tangy. We heartily recommend that you follow that by assembling your own Miang Kham. The wonderfully tart and rich pineapple shoyu is the perfect base for this bite-sized ‘rojak’, and the sprinklings of crispy borlotti tempeh will leave you craving for seconds.
