Located on the 28th floor of Sedona Suites Ho Chi Minh City and directly connected to Saigon Centre, The Straits Kitchen & Bar offers an elevated interpretation of Singaporean and Peranakan cuisine framed by skyline views and contemporary elegance. Conceived as a destination restaurant rather than a simple hotel outlet, it presents Southeast Asian heritage through a modern, carefully structured lens.
The kitchen draws deeply from the Malacca Straits and Peranakan tradition a cuisine shaped by Malay foundations, Chinese technique and regional influence and translates it into a format that feels both authentic and current. Flavours are layered with intention: aromatics bloom gradually, spices are structured rather than overpowering, and sauces are built for depth and balance. Each plate reflects a dialogue between intensity and refinement.
The menu moves across a spectrum of Singaporean signatures and Peranakan-inspired creations, from slow-braised specialities and richly spiced curries to vibrant sharing plates designed for the table. Presentation remains disciplined and contemporary, allowing colour, texture and fragrance to lead the experience. The result is cuisine that feels expressive without excess generous, precise and culturally grounded.
The bar programme extends the narrative with equal care. Cocktails are shaped by regional botanicals, spice infusions and tropical accents, offering pairings that echo the kitchen’s flavour architecture. It is a space that transitions effortlessly from relaxed afternoon conversations to animated evening gatherings.
Design and mood complete the composition. Clean architectural lines, warm tones and subtle detailing create an environment that feels urban, polished and welcoming. The atmosphere encourages exploration without formality, conversation without noise.
Awarded Winner Best Singaporean Restaurant at the Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025, The Straits Kitchen & Bar stands as a refined expression of Singaporean dining in Vietnam where heritage is honoured, flavours are articulated, and every meal becomes a cultural journey worth savouring.
