Corner House opens for dinner

SINGAPORE — New restaurant Corner House officially opened today (July 25), with Professor Tommy Koh as the guest of honour at a private luncheon.

The restaurant occupies the black-and-white bungalow in the Singapore Botanic Gardens known as EJH Corner House, formerly the Les Amis Group’s Au Jardin restaurant.

Corner House is co-owned by Chef Jason Tan, formerly Sky On 57’s Executive Chef, and Wine Culture’s Renny Heng. Chef Tan’s kitchen prides itself on “gastro-botanica” cuisine, using seasonal produce and giving prominence to vegetables. It is a style that goes hand in hand with the restaurant’s setting and decor, which pays homage to the EJH Corner House’s original resident, the late botanist and mycologist Edred John Henry Corner.

Corner House opens for dinner from 6.30pm to 11pm, and will begin serving lunch on Aug 19. Sunday brunch will be served starting Aug 10. Closed on Mondays until Aug 31. For reservations, call 6469 1000.
