Headed by acclaimed chef Jason Tan, this classy garden restaurant serves what they call French-inspired, gastro-botanica cuisine, which aims to celebrate sustainably sourced seasonal produce. Their Business Luncheon menu ($58 for three courses, $78 for four courses, available Tuesday to Saturday) offers an initiation to their one-Michelin-starred cooking. You'll be spoilt for choice with options that sound as delicous as they look — think Iberico pork with polenta, buckwheat and beurre noisette, and Patagonian toothfish with cauliflower, parmesan, garlic, hazelnut and lardo. Don't miss their signature "My Interpretation of Kaya Toast" for dessert! Pro-tip: This is one of the places that offers their set lunch menu on a weekend, so make a date for a Saturday feast!
Avg price: $70 per person

4.5 munchies: Served in carpaccio style, I absolutely loved how the sweetness and creaminess of the raw scallops contrast with the gently-spiced pickled fennel, blanched trombetta zucchini strips, and yuzu gel droplets. Tobiko and torched mentaiko roe were also added for some mild-smoky and briny punch. Every bite was a burst of freshness and celebration of texture and flavour!

3 munchies: Slow-cooked and grilled till it was soft and tender, the Hungarian Mangalista Pork is served with steamed kernel corn and corn puree, yellow mustard seed, and burnt leeks. Finished with tasty red wine au jus, it was a pity that the pork was a tad salty. Go for either the Patagonian Toothfish or M6 Australian Wagyu Beef for your main course instead.

4 munchies: Accompanied by harissa foam that had a nice tinge of Moroccan spice and earthy complexity, the pan-seared Patagonian toothfish was cooked to perfection. What really complemented the soft, flaky fish was the creamy butternut squash velouté with natural sweet flavours. The pan-fried cauliflower added some crunch and ikura topping enhanced the dish with its brininess.

The perfect end to a business luncheon at Corner House. Sit back and relax in the cool climate controlled balcony seats overlooking the lush greenery in the botanic gardens while savouring these teeny treats. Crisp macaron shells with delicious salted egg filling… wish I could have a few more pieces. 😋

Literally blown away by the quality, flavours and entire restaurant setting by the end of an excellent luncheon. Everything that was presented on the plate felt like an art masterpiece on display by the chef, who executed every bit of ingredient with finesse and flair.

The Business Luncheon costs $58++ for 3 courses and $68++ for 4 courses, and if you ask me, it's definitely value for money, especially for the quality of food that you are getting.

One of the mains is the Hungarian Mangalitsa Pork which was served with sweet corn, yellow mustard seed, burnt leek and red wine au jus.

Hit me with these any time any day. Simplicity at its best yet elegantly executed. This was part of the Business Luncheon at Corner House, which is available from Tuesdays to Saturdays. More on my experience at Corner House in my upcoming posts.

The pieces of soft shell crab tempura were large and crunchy. Within the pool made of butternut squash, that hid a hint of harissa heat, was the mini island of a wobbly 62-degree egg. This was one of the two generously-sized starters I had because yeah, I'm greedy like that.
Broccoli mousseline, eryngji, Indonesian long pepper jus. This is available on their business luncheon and lunch discovery menu.
