Humpback

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Singapore’s Chinatown, Humpback stands as a testament to seafood crafted with intent and style. As the bistro and oyster bar celebrates its 10th anniversary, it unveils refreshed food and drink menus - a celebration that feels both familiar and forward-looking: rooted in its love for the sea, yet renewed in spirit and approach.

Humpback’s reputation begins, as always, with its oysters. Sourced directly from the sixth-generation Hama Hama Oyster Company on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula, they arrive on Singapore’s shores within 36 hours - ensuring the brine, texture, and freshness are at their absolute peak.

While oysters remain the heart of the experience, the beyond-shell offerings deserve equal attention. Chef Alynna Tan’s menu reflects a confident hand, marrying European bistro techniques with modern Asian sensibilities.

Standout dishes include:

🍣Spicy Tuna with Egg Yolk and Seaweed

A playful mix of silky, crisp and bold flavours

🍞Shokupan with Seaweed Butter

A deceptively simple starter transformed into something deeply comforting.

🥬Hispi Cabbage with Baby Anchovies & Asiago Cheese

Charred, smoky and addictive, the perfect umami-packed side.

🐚Short-Neck Clams with Chili Crisp & Fried Shallots

Rich, savoury, and ideal for sharing.

🍝Crab Mafaldine with Zucchini & Chili-Garlic Oil

A standout pasta that balances sweetness, spice, and depth.

🍰Tiramisu with Hojicha & Dark Rum

A bold reinterpretation of the classic, layered with roasted-tea warmth and a spirited finish.

Marking ten years of service, Humpback’s milestone is more than an anniversary - it’s a reaffirmation of what seafood dining can be when guided by care, craft and character. Whether you’re an oyster enthusiast, a seafood lover, or simply seeking a memorable night out in Chinatown, Humpback delivers with quiet confidence.
