The entrance to Na Oh, Korean-American chef Corey Lee's restaurant at the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore in Jurong West.
It started with a conversation in San Francisco he had in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, with Mr Euisun Chung, executive chairman and chief executive of Hyundai Motor Group. “I was immediately relieved to see that all our planning and design sessions had materialised into a restaurant that feels comfortable, calm, both traditional and modern, and is able to harmonise with the factory,” he adds.Benu is known for tasting menus that marry Korean and Asian flavours with Western techniques. On the menu at Na Oh is upscale traditional Korean food that chef Lee says is “full of rustic and homey reference points”.
Chef Lee says: “They allow diners to taste ingredients they probably consume every day – soy sauce and bean paste – but made using traditional methods without preservatives or pasteurisation. The fermentations are alive and continue to change.”
