Situated in the historical Jinrikisha Station building at the apex of Neil Road, this one-Michelin-starred establishment possesses a unique charm and gorgeous interiors that seem to embody the chef’s hopes and dreams: bright and mesmerising, austere yet dramatic. The counter provides front row seats to a quiet and efficient kitchen working at furious pace under chef-owner Zor Tan’s watchful eye. To fully appreciate a meal at Born, set aside sufficient time and space for the chef’s nine-course menu. Based on the concept “Circle of Life”, each course is a generous sharing of the stages of Tan’s life, with names like “Through my Eyes” and “Doraemon”. Every dish is executed with a combination of precision, intriguing ingredients and captivating flavours. Creative, delightful and occasionally whimsical, Born perfectly embodies the blissful marriage between French fine dining and Chinese culinary tradition.
