Singaporean restaurant coming soon to East 13th Street


Several readers have asked about what's coming to the space east of Key Bar on East 13th Street... As Grub Street reported last week, it will be a Singaporean restaurant called Masak. Chef Larry Reutens told Grub Street that the food will involve his favorite dishes from around Singapore, "including some that reflect the city-state's Malay influence and others that harken to his mother's Cantonese heritage." No opening date just yet.

  1. "Masak" = "cooked" or "ready" in Malay. I wonder if it's the only Malay word the proprietor knows. It's the only one I know, but it comes in handy.

  2. The proprietor is from Singapore, so I'm sure he knows a few more Malay words than that, dahling. Masak-masak refers to playing with your food...
