HighHouse

HighHouse is a restaurant and bar on levels 61 and 62 of One Raffles Place, in the heart of the CBD. It serves modern Pan-Asian sharing plates, with wide views of the city through tall windows.

HighHouse is run by OUE Restaurants and opened in December 2023, in the space once used by 1-Altitude. It covers more than 10,000 square feet and mixes food with music and art. On selected nights it stays open late for After Hours events with DJs, for guests aged 18 and over.

What to order

The menu calls its style Mod-Pan-Asian, with flavours from around the Pacific coast. Executive chef Sam Chin leads the kitchen, and plates are meant for sharing. Dishes marked as chef's picks on the dinner menu include:

• Hand-cut beef tartare with wasabi stems and quail egg yolk
• Grilled halibut with conpoy and a green peppercorn butter sauce
• That Expensive Indomie They Told You About: instant noodles with miso foie gras, braised chicken and a fried egg
• Lobster mac n cheese made with lobster bisque and three cheeses
• Sweet potato Basque cheesecake with sea salt ice cream

There is also a raw bar with oysters and a seafood platter, plus steaks such as an Arita A4 Wagyu striploin. Under a series called The High Table, guest chefs add their own dishes to the menu for a limited run. The drinks list covers signature cocktails, wine by the glass and sake.

The setting

A double-height feature bar links the two floors. It faces a screen about 14 metres wide that plays generative digital art by onformative, a design studio from Berlin. Paintings, sculptures and digital pieces by other artists, among them Naoko Tosa, are shown around the venue.

Window seats look out over Marina Bay or the Padang, and they come with a minimum spend per person. The venue also has a wine cellar, a private dining room for up to 10 guests and The Hideout, a private karaoke room.
