Defunct sandwich cafe Korio makes limited-time comeback with pop-up at Zouk Group-owned Here Kitty Kitty bar
For the pop-up, Korio’s husband-and-wife owners Myron Tan and Shaz Henshaw are creating a “specially curated menu” with Zouk Group’s chief culinary officer Lorenz Hoja. The German-born chef, who has trained with celeb chef Joël Robuchon in London and Paris, was the executive chef at L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Singapore and helped clinch the restaurant’s two Michelin stars in 2016 and 2017.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The menu offers two options each of ‘starter’ sandwiches, ‘filler’ sarnies, dessert doughnuts and spritz drinks.
Starter sarnies come in smaller portions, like the Nordic Craze (S$17) with salmon confit, quail egg, creme cheese, ikura and marinated onions on baguette. There’s also the Italian Job (S$17), which has burrata, zucchini, parmesan, tomato confit and fresh arugula leaves on focaccia.
For the heartier ‘fillers’, there is the Get Shorty (S$25) bagel layered with braised beef short rib, roasted onions, gratinated provolone and pickled cucumber.
