Silk Spoon
Features
Victor Liong’s casual CBD spot Silk Spoon feels like a convenient extension of the office – somewhere you can go before, during and after work for a coffee, a bite to eat, and even a cocktail.
The pint-sized canteen is housed on an upper-level plaza in the same precinct as Movida Aqui and Rosa’s Canteen, and is a long way from the high-end dining of Liong’s acclaimed modern Chinese restaurant Lee Ho Fook.
Named after the Silk Road, the diner draws on the flavours of Central Asia, northern India and the Middle East. Cue signature plates like a pot pie of chicken curry and root vegetables topped with a flaky roti lid; slow-cooked lamb that’s brined and seasoned with cumin, then served with bulgur wheat, pickled vegetables and flatbread; and a version with slow-cooked duck, using the legs leftover from Lee Ho Fook’s Peking duck that are spiced and confited at Silk Spoon.
There are also help-yourself fridges stocked with pre-made rice bowls (with toppings that include ginger poached chicken, as well as crumbed pork) and light salads with heirloom carrots and honey or broccoli, brussels sprouts and edamame.
The relaxed offering combines quick-service features like QR codes and pre-packaged meals with a fit-out by Min Chun Tseng (behind Toddy Shop) featuring green-and-white-striped banquettes, emerald green tiling and bistro wicker chairs, inspired by both Taiwanese and Parisian teahouses.
