The Naked Finn

Singapore, Singapore

The only eccentricity of this establishment lies in its name. ‘Naked’ relates to the simple, pared-back style of cooking promoted by its founder Ken Loon, and ‘Finn’ takes after the lead character in a reasonably obscure film version of Great Expectations. But there’s nothing Dickensian in the feel of this cosy, unpretentious seafood restaurant. A little off the beaten track and pleasantly quiet as a result, it’s ideal for a business or social lunch and equally good for dinner. The baton of lead chef has been passed on to Marcus Leow, whose personal cooking style has continued but a;so developed the ‘less but better’ philosophy of Loon. For the most part, seafood is still prepared with just olive oil, sea salt and the occasional dollop of silky butter, but Leow does allow himself the odd Asian accent (think dips and pickles). The presentation is as contemporary as the art galleries that share the space at the Gillman Barracks – once you’ve eaten a simply delicious lobster roll and indulged in the house-made coconut sorbet, why not take a small painting home to remember the experience by?
