Cantonese fare with a twist
Mitzo at Grand Park Orchard hotel aims to make diners abandon preconceptions.
IF your idea of Cantonese food includes Lazy Susans spinning in the middle of the table, boisterous family gatherings, and big sharing platters served by cheongsam-clad waitresses, Mitzo at Grand Park Orchard hotel is all set to change your mind.
Taking over the all-day dining Open House, Mitzo aims to put the "sexy" back in Cantonese dining. The modern Chinese fine-dining restaurant is set to officially launch on Dec 18. Save for the chopstick table-setting, guests won't be able to tell that it is a Chinese restaurant right off the bat because the decor will be sleek and polished. To create a more intimate dining experience, the 100-seater space is divided into sections and tables will be set up for two, four and six diners.
According to Tan Shin Hui, executive director and head of marketing communications, you can walk into Mitzo and not know that it's a Chinese restaurant at first - that is, until the food is served. Mitzo will stay true to the familiar flavours and authenticity of Cantonese cuisine even as it is served small-plates style. There will also be a selection of dim sum.
