Every component of a dish at Born is made with a meticulous eye for detail and this includes the bitter element of the petit fours served. Inspired by his grandmother’s unique treat of ginseng in bird’s nest, Chef Zor infuses the bitterness of ginseng into his “bitter” petit four, the Ginseng / Dark Chocolate bon bon. Here’s how he does it. #restaurantborn #Bornsg #beBORNagain #tobeborn #sgeats #finediningsg @chef_zortan #finedininglovers #professionalchefs #chefstalk #sgfoodies #instafoodsg #CircleofLife #contemporaryChinesefinedining @1855fnb
Our non-alcoholic beverages are a true labour of love, made with time, patience and meticulous craftsmanship. We carefully curate our ingredients, and temper them through a long-drawn process to create a final product with flavour notes that meet our desired outcome for pairing. Meet our Roselle Kombucha. Served with a kiss of raspberry and a dusting of smoked plum. #restaurantborn #Bornsg #beBORNagain #tobeborn #sgeats #finediningsg @chef_zortan #finedininglovers #professionalchefs #chefstalk #sgfoodies #instafoodsg #CircleofLife #contemporaryChinesefinedining @1855fnb #nonalcoholicpairing
Do you know what inspires the “shiu mai” snack that Chef Zor creates for his sophomore menu? Drawn to memories of his part-time job at a dim sum restaurant as a 14-year-old, Chef Zor makes his rendition of “shiu mai” but not as you know it. To add complexity of flavours to this snack, he digs deep into his arsenal of flavours, wielding a smidgen of a secret sauce. A bite is all it takes to know that this “shiu mai” is like no other. #restaurantborn #Bornsg #beBORNagain #tobeborn #sgeats #finediningsg @chef_zortan #finedininglovers #professionalchefs #chefstalk #sgfoodies #instafoodsg #CircleofLife #contemporaryChinesefinedining @1855fnb

End your meal on a ‘sour’ note — and by sour we mean fresh, fun and unexpected. Part of the medley of petit fours, ‘sour’ is nostalgic sweet featuring a homemade dinosaur-shaped gummy presented on a hawthorn chip. The gummy is infused with fresh mango passion fruit puree, while the chip is crafted using soak-dried hawthorn that has been blended, spread thinly on a mat, then air-dried to retain its form. #restaurantborn #Bornsg #beBORNagain #tobeborn #sgeats #finediningsg @chef_zortan #finedininglovers #professionalchefs #chefstalk #sgfoodies #instafoodsg #CircleofLife #contemporaryChinesefinedining @1855fnb #petitfours
Our sophomore menu opens with a delightful quintet of snacks. To start is a pineapple cocoa sphere inspired by one of Chef Zor’s favourite childhood treats — sweet canned pineapples from Pekan Nanas, a town in Pontian named after its sprawling pineapple farms. Elevated with infusions of liquorice and chilli, this refreshing one-bite-wonder sets the stage for the journey of flavours that lies ahead. #restaurantborn #Bornsg #beBORNagain #tobeborn #sgeats #finediningsg @chef_zortan #finedininglovers #professionalchefs #chefstalk #sgfoodies #instafoodsg #CircleofLife #contemporaryChinesefinedining @1855fnb
