Is that for decoration or can you eat it?-that's always the first question we get asked," begins John Lim with a laugh. As the founder of luxury botanical design studio This Humid House, his affinity for the language of plants and flowers is a given. While his newest culinary venture might seem like a departure from his usual field, Lim views it, instead, as an extension.
"Senang Supperclub is a way for us to challenge that assumption, that something can't be both beautiful and edible. I've always thought of food as a soft power. This is a nation of foodies and we have a very developed food culture. The way I see it, there's a potential for the same kind of sophistication to be applied to plants and flowers, and that's what we've tried to do in our work. It's been a dream of mine to be able to combine both of these things in a way that allows them to resonate with each other."
Hosted at This Humid House's beautiful new office space, Senang Supperclub invites guest chefs to prepare a menu, then turns it into a culinary experience like no other. On the surface this might seem like your typical gastronomic pop-up. Dig deeper however, and you'll find that it goes far beyond just that.
"For most, a typical Senang Supperclub session begins with the fight to find parking, or with being dropped off and getting very disoriented, because this is such an unassuming area that few people know it," Lim jokes. "What we do is put a small pedestal with a floral arrangement far out onto the street so it's impossible to miss. It's a bit of an announcement. Guests head down a passageway and when the door opens, what they'll find inside is a nice surprise."
