Restaurant Labyrinth

September 21, 2025

As a 100% Singaporean, I truly appreciate every dish here. The menu celebrates flavours that are uniquely Singaporean, yet presented in such an elevated and creative way. What I love most is how I can share not just the food, but also the stories and origins behind each dish with my non-local friends. It’s a super fun tasting experience — playful, nostalgic, and delicious all at once. Definitely a spot I’ll be bringing and recommend more friends to again!

In a blink of an eye, it's already 10 years since my last visit. First time was mind blowing as it was new then and I'd never seen Singapore foods deconstructed like this. This time the menu changed slightly to match the season, but it's like a wine maturing, it was sublime and experiential. Each dish was accompanied by a story of the origin, with each outstanding in it's own way, and staying true to the original flavours. Special mention to the bak kut teh, well flavoured, the chilli crab puff that came in a McD apple pie-looking pack, the hae mee which was deconstructed into a 3 parts, congee with radish (best), the rojak so polished but tasted exactly like rojak, and the Yusheng - so pretty and delicate, yet kept to the chinese new year taste. There was a also a milo palate cleanser to make it nostalgic for us.

Labyrinth serves one of the most thoughtful tasting menus I’ve encountered. Yes, it’s a journey through Singaporean culinary tradition and heritage, but it felt like something much more: a very personal trip down Chef Han’s memory lane, told in vignettes like The House on Mango Street. Everything’s at the standard of a one Michelin star spot. But how you feel about the menu will depend on your personal connection to the dishes. Memories are powerful in how the immediately turn on like a lightbulb. Memories are shared when they’re part of a cultural identity. Memories are also scary in how much they get distorted through rose-tinted glasses. This is Labyrinth’s greatest challenge, unique to its own concept. Unfortunately, for me, rather than having “Ratatouille moments”, I often ended up comparing the dishes to platonic versions embedded in my memory. I curse the day McDonald’s stopped frying their pies (though Jollibee is a fine substitute). I was beyond excited when presented with a chili crab pie that’s an homage to McD’s fried pies; it did not live up to the mythological being that resides in my memory. The same goes for the coffee bun. Rotiboy’s already a perfect product; any fancified version of it will just fall flat compared to sweet childhood memories. The satay was genuinely interesting using pistachios instead of peanuts, but, again, it could not compete against memories of waiting by the streetside vendors eagerly waiting to fill our tummies as the smell of chicken fat dripping onto hot charcoal filled the air. And so on. You get the idea. Our memories are monsters. The dishes that stood out the most were those that distanced themselves just enough to not trigger nostalgia, yet remained recognizable as the dish that inspired it—or, now that I think about it, they’re the dishes with no strong personal connections. The rojak was one of the most delicious palate cleansers I’ve had. The taste was definitely rojak. Yet, my mind did not compare it against the street food version as it was such a huge reinterpretation of it. The congee was recognizable as congee, but the use of turnip instead of rice distanced itself just enough. I’d gladly tip another bowl of this into my gullet. Objectively, the food was delicious and meticulously prepared. My own personal memories made it difficult to take the food as is. That’s a me problem. If you compare Labyrinth’s prawn mee against the typical hawker stall’s, Labyrinth’s is a hundred times better. The drink list focuses on wines and liquors from around the world that are produced by those from an Asian background. The wine pairing highlights interesting grape varieties and/or production methods; the story about the rasheh was so entertaining. Grab the whisky offered after the meal. It was a complete dessert by itself despite the lack of sugar. The restaurant’s quite small with few tables compared to the number of service staff. The service went above and beyond in many regards, like waiting to open the door for you when you return from the restroom. If you’re a tourist from outside SEA, just go here and you’ll have a great time. It’s proper Singaporean fine dining. Such a great introduction to the cuisine. If you go to a generic French or Japanese spot that you can get anywhere in the world over this unique experience, I have so many questions for you.

Amazingly fun and interactive experience drawn from the creativity and innovation of reimagined local dishes! Kudos to Almond who was very cheerful and friendly with impeccable service! Loved the prawn noodle and duck satay (the best!!!) so many thoughtful touches from Chef Han and the team. Hope to come back for new menus!! 💜
