On any given day in Berawa, one would find that its eclecticism never dims, no matter the time of day. Lunches already light up afternoons before the sun hits its peak, transitioning into social evenings that extend well into late nights. There’s a lingering sense of stylish chic, and KONG fits right into this milieu, drawing all kinds of crowds to its dining room.
The restaurant’s colonial-style space, inspired by 1920s Singapore, is a place where history becomes the blueprint for vintage aesthetics that’s been modelled through a contemporary lens. Velvety furnishings sit under moody lighting, undercut by arched windows that let in just enough sunlight for a warm, fuzzy lift.
As the saying goes, you eat with your eyes first. That’s a principle KONG embraces wholeheartedly, but it doesn’t just stop there. Flavours are built up to pair, allowing the taste buds to enjoy each plate as much as the eyes do. Helmed by Chef Nick Escobar, whose most recent notch in his belt boasts experience in Nobu New York Fifty Seven, the menu flows seamlessly from day to night, allowing guests a flexible option to whet their appetite at any occasion.
Lunchtime hours may be filled with a refreshing Yellowfin Tuna Tartare, offering a coastal lift suited to the tropical beach atmosphere. For something heartier, options include the Lamb Ragu Pappardelle or the signature burger served with gorgonzola and triple-cooked truffle fries. After sundown, one can choose Wagyu Foie Gras Gyoza, Confit Duck Leg, and Chocolate Fondant for a full-course meal.
If the convivial mood encourages guests to linger past the last bite, the bar is ready. Conversations often get livelier once drinks are poured. The selection includes reliable favourites like an Aperol Spritz and inventive creations such as the KONG Diablo, a medley of tequila, pineapple, dark cassis, and ginger soda.
