Nestled in the balmy residential neighbourhood of Upper Serangoon, a diner that goes by the name of Jane Provision Shop has been making steady waves in the local scene. While unassuming at first glance, its high level of foot traffic in the evenings proves that there is more to it than meets the eye. Originally a cafe specialising in homemade bakes and teas, the space underwent a rebranding early last year and is now positioned as a friendly neighbourhood diner and craft sake bar.
At its helm is 39-year-old chef and baker Jane Chung, who co-founded the space with her partner, 26-year-old photographer Samuel Foo. Shares the duo of the decision to pivot and rebrand: "After travelling around the world and experiencing a wide range of popular restaurants and bars, we were yearning for a place that melded serenity and taste. Combine that with a lack of quality sake bars in Singapore and it was the perfect opportunity to fill a gap in the market." A quick glance at the current interior and one would immediately notice the Japandi influences that pervade the homey space, its earthy modernity nicely contrasted with an assemblage of antique cups, vases and assorted trinkets that have been collected through the years. Neatly arranged and displayed throughout the diner, many of these pieces are sourced locally from popular haunts, such as vintage furniture store Aa Furniture.
