Our Story
Our Story
At LIORA, we believe the most memorable meals are rarely remembered for a single dish. They are remembered for the warmth of the room, the conversations shared around the table, the people behind the food, and the feeling that lingers long after the last course.
The name LIORA is inspired by the idea of light — a symbol of warmth, clarity, and quiet presence. It reflects the kind of restaurant we set out to create: one where thoughtful cooking, genuine hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere come together to leave a lasting impression.
Culinary Point Of View
Korean Flavours, European Techniques
Our menu is rooted in Korean flavours, ingredients, and fermentation-led cooking. Rather than reinventing tradition, we build upon it. Modern European techniques inform the way our dishes are structured, sauced, plated, and refined, while every flavour remains unmistakably Korean at heart.
Behind each dish is a process that often goes unseen. Ingredients are carefully sourced, sauces are developed over time, and fermentation is treated not as a trend, but as a foundation of flavour. Every element is considered, refined, and given a reason to exist.
We believe craftsmanship isn’t about doing more. It’s about knowing what matters, and giving every detail the attention it deserves.
Team
A Chef-Led Concept, Built by a New Generation
Our craftsmanship philosophy extends beyond the kitchen. Every member of our team plays a part in shaping the experience — from the first welcome to the final farewell.
Behind LIORA is a team of chefs with over three decades of collective experience, bringing together backgrounds in acclaimed kitchens, international competitions, and different corners of the culinary world — led by Head Chef Kenny Chung and Sous Chefs Aiken Low and Gerome Ang.
The team brings together over three decades of culinary experience, with Kenny, Aiken and Gerome having honed their craft across some of Singapore’s most respected kitchens and a range of culinary settings. Their experience extends from Michelin kitchens and acclaimed restaurants to international competitions, with accolades including championships at the Singapore DEYTT, HOFEX Black Box Challenge and YCYW, as well as representing Singapore on the international stage in Monaco, Japan, Macau and Australia.
Together, our team crafted a menu that draws from everything they have learnt, tasted and loved, bringing different perspectives into one distinctly LIORA expression.
