MANILA: The Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS) will soon get a new restaurant to be run by world-renowned three-Michelin-star chef Corey Lee.

According to the South Korean carmaker, the restaurant will be named Na Oh, which translates to “moving from inside out” in Korean. It is expected to be a destination that stands as a cultural hub for Korean cuisine, craft, and design.

Corey Lee is a San Francisco-based chef who explores traditional Korean cuisine through a modern lens. Na Oh marks Chef Corey Lee’s first project in Southeast Asia, adding an exciting dimension to the city’s culinary offerings.

“It has been inspiring to bring together the innovation that Hyundai offers at HMGICS with traditional cooking techniques that we have reimagined for the menu,” Lee said.

“I hope to bring a fresh and new option for Korean cuisine to Singapore, a country renowned for its food lovers. While Na Oh will be a casual family restaurant, we will be serving the same quality products and technical preparations usually reserved for fine dining. I’m excited to make this kind of dining experience more accessible, made possible through Hyundai’s commitment to enhancing the visitor experience at HMGICS,” he added.

HMGICS will be at the core of Na Oh’s concept. Integrating Na Oh at HMGICS will further extend the hub’s customer experience beyond a conventional automotive production facility, transforming it into a unique hospitality destination in Singapore.

Na Oh will serve Hansik cuisine calibrated for the modern palate. The restaurant is set to open next month.
