This August, Singapore’s vibrant dining scene welcomes a rare collaboration that promises to be more than just a meal. Christina’s at Mondrian Singapore Duxton joins hands with the iconic Coriander Leaf for a one-night-only 4-Hands dinner on 23 August 2025, celebrating innovation, heritage, and craftsmanship in equal measure.
Few pairings feel as natural as this one. Coriander Leaf, helmed by the pioneering Chef Samia Ahad for over two decades, has long been admired for its soulful approach to Pan-Asian flavours. Known for honouring tradition while reimagining it with daring flair, the restaurant has carved out a distinctive presence in Singapore’s gastronomic landscape.
Christina’s, meanwhile, has made its mark as Mondrian Duxton’s convivial all-day dining destination. With a menu steeped in the Mediterranean ethos of sharing, it offers seafood-driven plates crafted with seasonal freshness and modern sensibility. Together, the two kitchens create a dialogue that bridges continents and philosophies while remaining rooted in the joy of dining.
The Menu: A Bold Revival of Flavours
The five-course dinner opens with an elegant amuse bouche from Coriander Leaf — a refined take on Miang Kham, the beloved Thai street snack, layered with roasted coconut, palm sugar, ginger, and a delicate kick of bird’s eye chilli.
The meal unfolds with two starters: Christina’s presents dry-aged Orata dressed in yuzu pon and a whisper of wasabi, while Coriander Leaf offers a daring Cambodian Larb, where beef tartare meets bone marrow richness and black rice vinaigrette.
For mains, Christina’s unveils a casarecce seafood pasta, brimming with shrimp, clams, calamari, and bouillabaisse, while Coriander Leaf showcases a red coral trout brightened by Bengali kasundi, butter rice, and pickled carrots. Dessert is a refined crescendo — a pistachio tiramisu, velvety with pistachio cream, enlivened by coffee syrup, and capped with a crisp tuile.
Beyond its collaborative spirit, this dinner also teases Christina’s forthcoming à la carte menu refresh, launching just days later on 25 August. Expect a renewed focus on seafood-forward dishes and Mediterranean influences — a preview for diners eager to see where the restaurant’s culinary journey is headed.
Priced at S$99++ per person, this exclusive dining event offers more than just food. It is an evening of storytelling through flavours, a testament to what happens when two kitchens, steeped in different traditions, converge on a shared table.
Reservations are limited, and anticipation is already high. For those fortunate enough to secure a seat, the night promises a rare feast where creativity, craftsmanship, and conviviality collide.
