Singapore’s Familiar Flavours, Unexpected Possibilities

Chicken rice, kaya toast and chilli crab are woven into Singapore’s everyday life. At Restaurant Labyrinth, Chef LG Han draws on the familiarity of these dishes to create a tasting experience that gives diners a fresh appreciation of the food they grew up with.

His interpretations begin with a close connection to Singapore’s culinary culture, including its Chinese roots. Flavours carry memories of places, people and shared meals. Reworking them requires more than technical invention: the dish must still offer something diners recognise and feel connected to.

The Taste Advisors commend Labyrinth’s creative interpretations of Singaporean Chinese classics. One Chinese-language comment describes it as a restaurant with culture at its core—an observation that captures the purpose behind its contemporary approach.

Ranked No. 2 in the 2026 Chinese-Inspired Asia Awards, Labyrinth brings attention to the influence of Chinese food traditions within Singapore’s wider dining identity. Through Chef Han’s cooking, everyday favourites receive the care and consideration of a fine-dining kitchen, offering a compelling way to revisit the tastes of the city.
