AIR CCCC

Gorgeous building facing lush greenery, cool open kitchen, stylish branding; but dodgy food. Good homemade ice cream, but do they pride themselves on minimising your food? Why give a few cubes of bread pudding when you can just serve the damned bread pudding?

Gorgeous building facing lush greenery, cool open kitchen, stylish branding; but dodgy food. Although the chicken was done very well and I appreciated the deboning, the portion doesn't justify the bill. Mind you, lunch has no ala carte, and the set meal isn't enough for most people.

Gorgeous building facing lush greenery, cool open kitchen, stylish branding; but dodgy food. Some thought went into this starter lah. It's zesty plus wasabi. But I felt no strong emotion.

Gorgeous building facing lush greenery, cool open kitchen, stylish branding; but dodgy food. This is their signature bread and butter. It's okay but didn't blow me away.

Opened in January 2024 by renowned chefs Matthew Orlando of Amass and Will Goldfarb of Room4Dessert, together with entrepreneur Ronald Akili of Potato Head, AIR CCCC is a sustainable farm-to-table restaurant, research lab, cooking school, and farm where produce for the restaurant is grown.
.
The restaurant is warmly lit with ample natural light, the idea of transparency spanning from the open kitchen and common dining hall to the natural surroundings.
.
The facade features ribbon windows that open up views to the lawn, while paths take guests beyond to the urban farming gardens run by social enterprise City Sprouts.
.
The fixtures and furniture were designed by Spanish product designer Andreu Carulla, using recycled timber, styrofoam packaging, and plastic bottles sourced from a former art installation, as well as paper mache and bamboo ceiling lights.
.
Staff accord guests personalised attention, exercising great care with dietary restrictions. They communicate well in fulfilling requests and taking orders.
.
I note staff work quickly, greeting and seating guests, clearing finished plates throughout the meal, and cleaning up efficiently when guests leave.
.
Staff also demonstrate good product knowledge, being able to describe dishes on the seasonal menu, which changes monthly and features fresh ingredients grown on-site.
.
No surprise that AIR CCCC is usually fully-booked, advance reservations are highly recommended.
.
Style is Modern European and Modern Singaporean fusion, and true to its name, aims to provoke deeper contemplation about food, sustainability, and community.
.
Dishes are creatively put together. Flavours are bold, and uncompromising, yet wholesome and nourishing.
.
Portions are designed for communal dining and sharing, except for desserts which are individually-portioned.
.
Prices command a premium for their casual gourmet dining experience, yet is well worth it, budget about SGD $68++ per person for weekend brunch, and SGD $98++ per person for dinner.
