AVENUE 87

A Singapore Friendship Retold On A Platter

- 

Located in the heart of vibrant Amoy Street, Avenue 87 is a Modern Asian restaurant that embodies and celebrates two personal journeys beginning with its name. Born in the same year, 1987, Chefs Glen Tay and Alex Phan both spent childhoods in Hougang: Glen at Avenue 8; Alex at Avenue 7.

Modern Asian cuisine of well-known dishes are transformed by the memories, travels, and professional discourse of the two chefs. Many components are prepared from scratch. The local and the artisanal are celebrated, and old and new methods explored and often combined. Dining at Avenue 87 is a deep dive into gastronomy in which two chefs push each other’s boundaries to produce magic.

The results are nostalgic yet contemporary; and always comforting. The dinner tasting menu, inspired by foods that Glen and Alex loved growing up, comprises either four or six courses, with a wine pairing option specially curated. Glen and Alex recommend the 6-course tasting menu for an immersive gastronomic experience.

As a gesture of Asian hospitality, each dining guest is first welcomed with a tasting portion of the house-brewed herbal blend of the day. The AVE87 Tea, a twist on the traditional eight treasures tea, offers a soothing reception, while the refreshing Lotus Root Tea revitalises the senses with mild bitterness and astringency from aged Mandarin peel.
