15 Stamford by Alvin Leung

15 Stamford by Alvin Leung is the swish restaurant designed by the late Jaya Ibrahim at The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore. Chef-Founder Alvin Leung, made famous by three Michelin-starred Bo Innovation in Hong Kong, has pulled together favourite recipes from around Asia. Dishes are refined and elegant without as much – if any – of the culinary molecular engineering that the Demon Chef is known for. Whole Boston Lobster with Mangosteen, Tomato and Spicy Thai Dressing ($58) offers a taste of Thailand, while the Korean-inspired Spicy Tuna Tartare ($26) with housemade gochujang delivers on flavour, spice, and texture. Mix in the accompanying Son-in-Law Egg and scoop up the cold tuna with the Prawn Crackers for a sharing starter.

15 Stamford by Alvin Leung in its elegant setting with quality cuisine is a spot to earmark for entertaining out of town guests for a dip into different Asian flavours without the necessity of a plane ticket.
