Bacchanalia’s back

Housed in an open plan shop house, the new 36-seater Bacchanalia has no walls between the multiple kitchen counters and dining tables. According to head chef Ivan Brehm, the new Bacchanalia is “a living room, dining room and kitchen all in one” and “closes the gap between guests and the kitchen, people and food, making the experience more akin to a dinner party in your own house”. Guests will be walked through the kitchen before being seated for their meal, helping to create informality and allowing guests to actively engage with the chefs and the cooking. Besides jazzing up its floor plan, Bacchanalia will continue to commit cutting-edge cooking methods to create interesting flavours. Exciting new dishes unveiled include pickled Japanese sardine with sweet corn, spring onion purée and chickpea cream, and Tiberian Harvest snapper ceviche with fermented vegetables, black garlic puree, and Penang mace. 39 Hong Kong Street.
