As with all of our hospitality concepts, at Nanyang Blossom ( ), we kicked a collaborative research phase during which, together with our clients, we picked out the most relevant and interesting facets of their vision, culture and cuisine. What followed was an intricate process of ‘weaving’ the atmosphere based on these pillars.

Specifically, we had extensive conversations with Chef Patron Darren Liew ( ) about his vision and the Nanyang region around the South China Sea - a melting pot of different cuisines with a common denominator of freshness, brightness and variety coming from the fertile lands, abundant rain and the sea. We also spoke about his childhood and favourite ingredients, home cooking, spices and herbs.

The elements which inspired us most and we chose to explore further revolve around landscape, nature and the archetypes of local cultures. Specifically, the fertile lands, the rain, the estuaries filled with labyrinthine nets and poles - traditional oyster farms and fishing boats, a testament of centuries past.
