About Pangium
A window into our shared culinary heritage, Pangium offers an intimate space to explore the origins of Straits cuisine through a contemporary lens.
Named after the pangium tree that springs from the buah keluak seed, its cuisine is rooted in the ethos of discovery and creativity that our cultural heritage was founded upon.
The tasting menu-only restaurant by Chef-Owner Malcolm Lee and the COMO Group is located within The Orangery at the Gallop Extension of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. With sweeping 180-degree views of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, its interior is an elegant expression of modernity that complements its picturesque surroundings.
Malcolm Lee
CHEF, FOUNDER
Award winning Singaporean chef-owner Malcolm Lee values the inheritance of tradition but believes that it does not determine our future. At Pangium, he challenges his experienced teams both in the kitchen and front of house to apply their wealth of knowledge with curiosity, creativity and a healthy dose of “why not?”.
However, not one to pursue innovation purely for the sake of innovation, the 37-year-old continues to offer genuine deliciousness that will resonate with his guests as the kernel of his cuisine.
Lee’s maiden restaurant with the COMO Group, Candlenut, received a Michelin star for the first time in 2016. It is the first Peranakan restaurant in the world to be recognised by the internationally revered guide with a star.
