Foodie Confidential

Dine in privacy and style at these private dining rooms of restaurants.

01 HIDEAWAY BY NAE:UM

Nae:um, a contemporary Korean restaurant underpinned by the "nostalgic scents" (as its name roughly translates to) and not-so-distant food memories of its Gangnamborn chef-owner Louis Han, celebrates its third anniversary on Telok Ayer Street with the opening of a private dining space occupying the entirety of its second floor.

Styled as a "home away from home", the aptly titled Hideaway features the same charmingly elegant atmosphere of the main dining room, with woodsy touches and rustic elements on a calming backdrop of cream and birch.

It seats up to 14 at a private table adjoined by a living room and dedicated open kitchen, from which Han and his team serve Hideaway-exclusive tasting menus that are a "globally diverse extension" of Nae:um's contemporary Korean fare.

02 ESTIATORIO MILOS

A recent addition to the culinary line-up at Marina Bay Sands is Estiatorio Milos, the first Asian outing of a buzzy Greek restaurant chain in Canada, New York, London, and Dubai.
