HUE restaurant is a modern Thai dining destination on Tyrwhitt Road in Singapore, describing itself as a lifestyle destination that redefines the modern Thai dining experience through simple tweaks and unique twists. The name HUE carries a dual meaning — it's the English word for colour or shade, and also stands for "หิว" (hiew), the Thai word for hungry.
HUE was founded by a group of friends who share a love of great food — among them a chef, two Thai co-founders, and designers who shaped the restaurant's visual and spatial identity. Inspired by a royal Thai recipe book and their chef's modern cooking techniques, the team set out to create a new palette of Thai dishes that is savoury and artful while still retaining the cultural story behind Thai food.
The restaurant's ambition is to inject vibrancy and creativity into what it sees as a monotonous, overly traditional Thai food scene in Singapore, creating a space where people can dine and socialise in an enjoyable, design-forward setting that reflects Thai culture as warm and diverse.
HUE restaurant sits on Tyrwhitt Road in Singapore with a clear mission: to redefine the modern Thai dining experience through simple tweaks and unique twists. The name itself carries a double meaning — HUE is the English word for colour or shade, but it's also a play on "หิว" (hiew), the Thai word for hungry, a fitting name for a restaurant built entirely around food.
HUE's story begins with a group of friends bound by a shared love of great food. Among them is a chef, two Thai co-founders, and designers who together shaped both the menu and the restaurant's visual and spatial identity. Rather than working from a single vision, HUE emerged from this collaboration — part culinary, part cultural, part design.
The menu draws inspiration from a royal Thai recipe book combined with the chef's modern cooking techniques, resulting in what the team describes as a new palette of Thai dishes — savoury and artful, while still holding onto the cultural story that runs through Thai food. This isn't fusion for the sake of novelty; it's a considered attempt to bring something fresh to dishes rooted in genuine Thai culinary heritage.
HUE positions itself against what it sees as a monotonous, overly traditional Thai food scene in Singapore. The restaurant's ambition is to inject vibrancy and creativity into that space, creating somewhere people can genuinely dine and socialise, not just eat. This shows up in playful dish names across the menu — think Oychestra, What The Fish!, Not A Tom Yum, and Paper Fish — each hinting at a dish that takes a familiar Thai flavour profile somewhere unexpected. Dessert gets the same treatment with Tearamisu, a Thai-inspired spin on the Italian classic.
Beyond the plate, HUE's visual and spatial design was built around the hallmarks of what Thai culture should feel like — warm and diverse. The restaurant's interior and overall identity were shaped with the same intentionality as the menu, giving diners a space that feels considered rather than incidental.
HUE also offers a dedicated Business Lunch Set Menu for those looking for a more structured midday meal, alongside its full food and drink menus, both available via QR code for easy browsing at the table. The restaurant takes reservations directly through its website, and can also be reached via WhatsApp for enquiries.
