Brazen New Lunch Set Offerings at Dehesa

Kilo Under Pressure #06: Clay Kuok

After playing host to four amateur chefs in its kitchen, Kilo Kallang now invites Clay Kuok to bravely face its stoves and a restaurant full of discerning guests. The Art Director, previously from Macau, is ready to keep the good vibes going with dishes like with dishes like Kra Pao Quail’s Scotch Eggs with Guava Som Tam and Canggu Tacos made with Balinese Braised Pork, Fried Corn & Tempeh.
