The menu though is far from posh or disruptive, featuring a mishmash of European classics and Asian-inspired fare
While the Dempsey Hill’s laidback appeal continues to attract its fair share of casual gourmands, a few of its recent F&B openings are flaunting more sophisticated designs. The latest is Moonbow by first-time restaurateur Dylan Soh and veteran local chef Heman Tan, who also helms the kitchen. The duo had envisioned a somewhat whimsical setting—a room dressed in a palette of pastels and muted champagne hues, decked out with plush seats and elegant lighting, and in one corner, a 4m-tall artistic installation of naturally dried branches gathered “from a private garden” adorned with magnolia flowers. Diners have a full view of the open kitchen and the bar located beside the entrance to the patio dining area where brunch can be enjoyed.
Equally charming is how the restaurant takes its name from a natural phenomenon also known as a lunar rainbow, that Heman had witnessed while brainstorming ideas for the restaurant name last year.
