#Loca Niru

SAVE THIS‼️This new restaurant was the Best High-end Restaurant in 2025! 🐉 Bet many of you didn’t know there this 140-year old heritage house in Dhoby Ghaut, let alone this new fancy restaurant that’s said to be the “Best High-end Restaurant of 2025”! Helmed by Chef Shusuke Kubota, @locanirusg is a contemporary innovative concept that fuses Japanese ingredients with French culinary techniques. The space itself was a real beauty, but what’s even more stunning is their food. Every dish was so unexpected (but in a good way)! We started off with their 𝘏𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘯, which comes with frog; wouldn’t usually be our choice, but this one was done perfectly — crunchy with a nice blend of spices. 🐸 Some other dishes that wow-ed us were their version of a chawanmushi that’s more like a concentrated mushroom consommé full of umami, and the pan-seared grunt fish with this award-winning Nyonya beurre blanc sauce. The Tasting Menu is 8-courses at $298++ per person. The service was superb, the staff was so attentive and welcoming. We can really see why they came up on top!

Here’s an interesting location of a restaurant in Singapore we checked out recently, and it is well-hidden near Dhoby Ghaut MRT. Loca Niru is a contemporary innovative fine-dining restaurant located in the 140-year-old House of Tan Yeok Nee managed by Gaia Lifestyle Group. Many might have overlooked this building (us included) which is a stone’s throw from Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station. A brief history of House of Tan Yeok Nee – the last surviving “Four Grand Mansions” of Teochew architecture in Singapore which was built in 1885 and gazetted as a national monument. Today, the House has been restored as a cultural and lifestyle destination. The cuisine here is coined as Contemporary Innovative cuisine, honouring Japanese and global produce with French and Japanese techniques. There is only an 8-course Tasting Menu (S$298++ per person) for dinner service at the moment, and you expect nuanced flavours of Southeast Asian such as their Buah Keluak bread course, and spices and ingredients used across the courses. It is a beautiful venue with lovely presentation of each course. One to bookmark for sure!

Loca Niru, opening Nov 6, is a new fine dining restaurant at the historic House of Tan Yeok Nee, one of the last remaining traditional Chinese mansions built in Singapore in the 19th century. Here, chef Shusuke Kubota, formerly of Omakase at Stevens, has developed a cuisine marrying his Japanese roots and French culinary training with explorations of Southeast Asian flavours.

@locanirusg One of the more memorable meals I’ve had first quarter this year, and easily one of my favourite new restaurants. 💯👍🏻😋 If you haven’t been, you should definitely add it to your must-visit list! Loca Niru is an innovative fine-dining destination housed in the historic 140-year-old House of Tan Yeok Nee, helmed by chef @shusuke_kubota . His culinary style artfully blends Japanese refinement, French technique, and Southeast Asian flavours, with a deep respect for heritage and quality produce. #locaniru #locanirusg

Set within the 140-year-old House of Tan Yeok Nee, @locanirusg opened on November 6 as the first fine-dining restaurant to inhabit the historic landmark. Located on the second level of the national monument, the new concept by Gaia Lifestyle Group brings contemporary dining into one of Singapore’s most storied spaces, led by rising chef @shusuke_kubota, better known as Chef Shu. The restaurant’s name draws from Zen philosophy, referencing balance, restraint and harmony—values that echo through both the house itself and the cuisine. At Loca Niru, Japanese sensibilities are layered with French technique to form a contemporary, quietly expressive menu that looks forward while remaining deeply grounded in craft and tradition. #LocaNiru #sgrestaurants #Tatler #TatlerDiningSG #TatlerTastes #TatlerSingapore

The ONLY place in Singapore to try this! 🏵️🧈🍇 📍 Loca Niru • House of Tan Yeok Nee Enjoyed this dish more than I thought I would Let me walk you through this astonishing dish! 🐟 Wakayama grunt (isaki), lightly brined then pan-seared till the skin turns beautifully crisp ✨ 🌼 Zucchini flower stuffed with scallop mousse — delicate, buttery, gently perfumed with citrus and shallots. 🏵️ And then, this sauce… wow. A classic French beurre blanc enriched with fish stock, layered with a vibrant Nyonya rempah — * ginger flower * lemongrass * blue ginger * gula melaka calamansi Unapologetically bold flavours, expressed with restraint ✨ This sauce was born when Chef Shu competed in a Japanese cooking competition — with this very concept, he showcased the depth of his craft honed in Singapore. It earned him runner-up, and now we get to taste exactly what won over the judges too! And finally, to mop all that exuberant sauce: 🧸 Buah Keluak Bread Earthy buah keluak paste folded into yeasted dough, served with whipped butter If you appreciate refined French technique rooted in bold Southeast Asian flavour — this is a must-try. Let me know when you’re planning to go! 🎐Operating Hours: • Tue – Sun • 6.30pm – 11pm 🍃Closed on: Mon & Sun 🌍 Website: https://locaniru.com/ #foodirectorysg #finedining #sgrestaurant #beurreblanc #rempah

A remarkable evening at Loca Niru—an eagerly awaited dinner that surpassed expectations! Set inside the beautifully restored 140-year-old House of Tan Yeok Nee, now a national monument, the space adds a quiet gravitas to the meal. Chef Shusuke Kubota’s cuisine draws on Japanese sensibilities, French technique, and Southeast Asian influences, grounded in seasonality and thoughtful sourcing.

Loca Niru was one of those evenings that just stays with you. Elegant and refined, yet warm and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, everything flowed so beautifully. Set within a stunning heritage space, there’s a calmness to the room that lets you really settle into the experience. The menu leans into fresh, seasonal produce, with a Japanese–French influence that feels thoughtful and beautifully balanced. Each dish had its own moment. You could see the detail and feel the textures from the gentle pour of jus, the crack of a delicate tuile, these little elements that make you slow down and really take it all in. Chef Shusuke Kubota’s talent comes through in every plate. There’s a confidence and precision to the food, with a real sense of care behind it. And the service is truly exceptional. Warm, attentive and incredibly knowledgeable, we were so well looked after from beginning to end. Feeling very lucky to have experienced this 🤍 Thank you @fabfoodieswede and @locanirusg for the invitation. #finediningexperience #finediningsg #luxurydining #diningexperience #sgdining

🍜 Tokyo’s cult-favourite Udon Shin has officially opened its first overseas outpost at Takashimaya and yes, expect to queue. .
Brought in by Gaia Lifestyle (the team behind Gyutan-tan, KOKO Patisserie, The Black Pearl and the fantastic new Loca Niru), this one genuinely delivers. . A little backstory:
Udon Shin started in Shibuya in 2011, founded by Chef Narahara Shinji out of pure love for noodles. Their udon is made in-house every morning, achieving that perfect balance of koshi (firmness) and nobi (stretchiness). . Their signature Carbonara Udon is the crowd magnet . Thick kamaage noodles tossed with umami dashi, parmesan, butter and crispy bacon tempura. Despite its name, the noodles stay firm till the last bite with the creamy touch. . If you want to appreciate their craftsmanship, the Tempura Zaru Udon is the purest way to taste that silky, chewy texture. Would you queue for it?
