The High Tables with Chef Daniele Sperindio

If you need more reason to head 62 floors up to the vibey HighHouse restaurant, then here’s one: its new chef collaboration series, The High Tables. From April onwards, renowned chefs will take over HighHouse’s kitchen in 3-month stints to add their personal flair to the Pan-Asian cuisine the One Raffles Place venue is known for.

We had the pleasure of enjoying the first chef collaboration with Daniele Sperindio, best known for helming Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant, Art di Daniele Sperindio. His National Gallery venue may be no more, but The High Tables collaboration sees him more casual and playful, starting with the stylish, music-forward HighHouse backdrop and little nods to Asia and Singapore in the menu. 

Of the eight exclusive dishes, you’ll find unexpected delights like Summer in Seoul, a refreshing slurp of somen, aged watermelon, and tomatoes in a cold watermelon rind broth spiced with geranium leaf. Other surprising combinations: Italian cheese, Amalfi lemon curd and Thai basil in a crispy waffle dish; Hokkaido scallop pasta in a cheesy sauce cut with black lime; and a Marsala wine infused Italian custard. 

The High Tables dishes are available a la carte ($16 to $48), with some you can enjoy as add-ons to HighHouse’s set menus.
