While a wave of new home-based cafés are churning out matcha latte after matcha latte, there’s a hidden villa in the jungle of Bukit Timah taking home dining to the next level. Self-proclaimed as “Singapore’s worst-kept secret for communal feasts”, Fork In The Jungle is a dining initiative set in the boho Balinese-style property that is Crane Jungle House. Yes, Crane as in furniture and homeware brand Crane Living – FITJ is its owners’ other passion project.
From tropical brunches to Italian dinners and Japanese-inspired outdoor barbecues, every private dining experience at Fork In The Jungle comes with a theme of sorts. These are ever-changing, but all are full-course meals where you’ll get to dig into five to seven dishes cooked with love. Typically, a minimum of six diners is required – so you’ll have to rally your foodie crew and sign up together – but from time to time, Fork In The Jungle opens ‘tag-along’ slots for those who prefer coming in a smaller group or as a pair.
Not to worry about any awkward small talk with strangers – all attendees get to dine in their own secluded corner of the sprawling villa, so you can soak in the resort vibes at full leisure while catching up with your buddies on the latest tea.
As for those who do wish to encounter new faces, sign up for The Banquet instead – Fork In The Jungle’s lively communal dinner that’s held on every second Wednesday of the month. There’s always a new flavour to sample, as the three-course menu is changed every month.
TIME OUT TIP FITJ’s resident mascot, Simba the dog, will grace you with a special appearance if you request for his presence.
Prices for The Banquet and brunch start from $88 per person, while other meals cost upwards of around $138 per person depending on the menu. Find out more about Fork In The Jungle and make your booking here.
