Born

Born Contemporary cuisine blending French fine dining with Chinese gastronomy. A concept by chef Zor Tan

30/04/2026

Every seat at Born is a promise.

Chef Zor Tan has spent a lifetime chasing something deceptively simple — the feeling of being truly taken care of. It started with his parents’ home-cooked meals and a saying that has never left him: 吃饱就是幸福 — contentment comes from having a full belly.

That quiet philosophy now shapes every decision at Born. Not perfection for perfection’s sake, but the relentless pursuit of giving guests the very best of what he has. His best technique. His most honest memory. His deepest care.

From the kitchens of Restaurant Andre, RAW Taipei and Sichuan Moon to Born at 1 Neil Road — every chapter of his journey has been poured into this one place.

This is what it means to cook with purpose.

Since day one, the Bird’s Nest pre-dessert has been a signature at Born - a course that always returns, though never the same.

Guided by our Circle of Life philosophy, there are subtle changes with each menu, a reminder that renewal is part of continuity.

This season: Pear / Bird’s Nest / Starfruit - ethereal, double-boiled bird’s nest graced with pear sorbet and marinated starfruit. A light interlude to cleanse the palate before the arrival of the dessert.

Meet Nicholas Sim, our Assistant Manager who somehow manages to be everywhere at once.

In his two years with Born, Nicholas has worn many hats, from leading events and fine-tuning service to keeping track of guests’ preferences with uncanny recall.

When he’s not orchestrating the dining room, you’ll likely find him running to unwind or immersed in a good book.

Calm, composed, and effortlessly efficient, Nicholas keeps the rhythm of Born in perfect stride.

Every menu begins with a prologue. At Born, it takes the form of a parade of snacks - fleeting, deliberate, and layered with meaning.

Ba Long Long / Smoked Plum / Chilli - a cocoa butter sphere inspired by Chef Zor’s favourite ‘suan mei’ and his parents’ spicy pairing with fresh ba long long.

Cordyceps / Homemade Sauce / Truffle - deep-fried cordyceps glazed in a house blend of chilli, vinegar and truffle.

Beef Tongue / Five Spice / Cracker - a five spice tart filled with egg yolk marmalade and pickled daikon, topped with beef tongue.

Otoro / Pork Jowl / Caviar - a reinvention of ‘Jiao Bing’, pastry filled with pork jowl, topped with otoro tartare, basil oil and caviar.

Pig Ear / Chip / Pickle Juice - pig ear jelly on a spring roll chip, dusted with Sichuan peppercorn.

These are not simply appetisers, but the opening passages of a menu that unfolds as a larger story. It’s our way to welcome you to Restaurant Born.
