7 Wonders Boutique Capsule

An alumnus of prestigious establishments in France, the U.S. and Singapore, Chef Kevin Wong opened Seroja in 2022 to pledge his love to the Malay Archipelago. His seafood-focused tasting menus pay tribute to Malaysian culinary traditions with a generous use of local produce, spices and techniques. The plating is meticulous and artful and the flavours subtle and finely balanced. Ask about the food and wine or non-alcoholic beverage pairing.

Pork cuts and offal like belly, trotter, intestines and skin are cooked in a soy-based marinade with spices. The depth and rich flavours of the meat are the perfect accompaniment to the kway chap ribbon noodles.

The space is simple yet elegant, befitting the hotel that houses it. There is a 10-seat counter made from a 200-year-old cypress tree from Nara, Japan, plus a private room. Chef-owner Sakuta works closely with the all-Japanese kitchen team, creating a season-driven omakase menu based exclusively on Japanese fish. Even the rice is a blend of two Japanese cultivars in a precise ratio for the perfect texture. Every item is prepared with utmost care.

Embodying the essence of fine dining, this romantic restaurant has it all – wonderful food, service and ambiance, and spectacular views. Chef Westaway makes good use of top-notch British produce and inspirations to turn out modern culinary creations that never fail to impress. A British classic, fish & chips, gets a posh makeover with sour cream, lemon zest and caviar. Even the alcohol-free gin and tonic palate cleanser is impeccably crafted.

The Malaysian owner opened this simple shop in 2024, specialising in authentic nasi lemak, often considered the national dish of his home country. The chef, who is also Malaysian, cooks rice in coconut milk with pandan leaves, and garnishes it with fried anchovies, peanuts, fried egg, sliced cucumber and spicy sambal. For a substantial meal, add sides such as ayam berempah (fried chicken leg), rendang chicken or ayam kunyit (turmeric chicken).

Where better to find a priceless jewel of the Singapore dining scene than in The National Gallery? Chef Julien Royer and his highly accomplished kitchen make wonderful use of luxury ingredients of unimpeachable quality. Creative combinations, impeccable techniques and exquisite plating result in dishes that are as elegant as they are memorable. The understated and graceful room, overseen by a highly polished service team, provides the perfect backdrop.

Unlike other branches in the group, this one has a European décor echoing the colonial style of the building that hosts it. That said, the menu remains the same as the others. Apart from the main menu, make sure you check out the chef’s selection menu. Double-boiled soups, flavourful and hearty, are unmissable. Deep-fried spare ribs marinated with shrimp paste are crispy and loaded with umami.
