Maverick, rebel, extreme. Chef-founder Alvin Leung is known for being all the above, made famous by three Michelin-starred Bo Innovation in Hong Kong.

Leave aside the molecular gastronomy and discover another side of his culinary talent as he unveils 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung at the Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore. The modern restaurant showcases an interesting array of his favourite recipes in Asia, paying humble tribute to different cuisines through Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore.

From the menu, the Laksa (S$32) is a glorious bowl of well-loved lemak (creamy coconut milk) broth. Brimming with chargrilled prawns tempura, jasmine tea-smoked onsen quail eggs and housemade dried shrimp floss, this luxe dish offers savoury decadence. Its spools of thick bee hoon are snipped in the beloved Singaporean Katong-style Laksa tradition so that one can slurp this bowl up with a spoon.

Another standout is the Chargrilled "Bak Kut Teh" Pork Ribs (S$38) which is marinated with over eight herbal spices for 12 hours. The tender char-grilled pork chops are complemented with angelica syrup-infused watermelon alongside with Bak Kut Teh-infused Barbecue sauce to create a dish reminiscent of earthier Malaysian-styled Bak Kut Teh.
