Only the best dining and drinking spots in Singapore.

Quenino by Victor Liong

While standing out in fine dining is a competitive sport these days, there is pleasure to be found getting comfortable at Quenino by Victor Liong, the chef behind Lee Ho Fook, Melbourne’s go-to for creative, new-age Chinese cuisine. At Quenino, his culinary horizons expand to Singapore and Malaysia’s waters, where flavours prepare you for a night of sensory overload, but only in the best ways possible.

Found on level four of Artyzen Singapore in a tranquil space of its own, Quenino by Victor Liong has to be one of the hotel’s biggest draws. Its name, which points to the crossroads of flavours around Asia, is derived from ‘little one’ in Kristang, a creole language spoken by a community of mixed Portuguese and Malay ancestry. It’s also a reflection of Liong’s journey as a third culture chef. Born in Brunei to Chinese-Malaysian parents but raised in Sydney since the age of six, Melbourne has been his home since 2013, the year he opened Lee Ho Fook.

The space is a reflection of Artyzen Singapore’s design-led ethos. A collaboration between the award-winning architecture firm, Ong & Ong, and Australian design studio, Nic Graham & Associates, it aims to evoke tropical Singapore with views of pocket gardens. Guests may also head up to the rooftop, where the herbs and vegetables grown are used in its food and drinks.
