Chinese flavours and western presentation is the killer combos that brings the appeal back to eating light
2019 was a big year for restaurants promoting a healthier lifestyle. The return of Richard Ekkebus’ Amber, newly dairy-free and gluten-free (though bread has also made a return to the table) and the launch of Christian G Mongendre’s Treehouse at H Code had us paying more attention to what we ate. In the year 2020, ZS Hospitality presents Miss Lee, their latest vegetarian restaurant since they shuttered Home: Eat To Live.
Residing on the ground floor at 198 Wellington, the same building that houses VEA, the entrance is unmistakable. Designed by JJ Acuna and his firm Bespoke Studio, the facade of Miss Lee feels a lot like a scene taken from Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel. The extensive use of emerald green, blush pink, and bright yellow brings playfulness and energy to the restaurant, while handmade tiles, glass and marble enhance the texture. Tables are evenly spaced throughout the petite space overlooking the bar.
