I warmly welcome you to my home, Seroja.
The restaurant shares the same name as the lotus flower in Malay, a significant cultural symbol for various peoples in the Malay Archipelago region. To me, it represents the commonality in our diversity, how we are similar yet different and the beauty of this harmony.
The name is also near and dear to my heart. When my great grandfather moved from East Asia to Klang, Malaysia, he made a street called Jalan Seroja his home and my family still resides there to this day.
At Seroja, I celebrate the familiar flavours of the Malay Archipelago that I grew up with and am continuously inspired by. Our food and beverages uses spices and herbs that are native to the region that give our food its distinctive character.
We take pride in working collaboratively with growers, fishermans, craftsmen and artisans from around the Malay Archipelago, many of whom are the last bastions of their trade. You’ll find their hard work featured throughout the dining experience as it truly takes a village to make my dreams for Seroja come true.
I look forward to seeing you at Seroja.

THE RESTAURANT
Seroja is a 2700-square-foot restaurant located at the heart of Duo Galleria, a distinctly modern building surrounded by the rich culture of Bugis and Kampong Gelam. The building is certified BCA Platinium Green Mark where we use special fluoroscent and LED lights, along with motion control and automatic lux level adjustment. The honeycomb façade act as a natural sun shading, which significantly reduce solar heat gain. The building & restaurant uses a combination of rainwater harvesting and private sub-meters to provide class leading water management. Our organic food waste are decompose in building and reintroduce into the soils of our garden infront of our restaurant with aims to reduce temperature whilst increasing oxygen levels in the vicinity.
The open-kitchen concept allows guests to watch the action unfold regardless of which seat they choose. There are 13 counter seats available as well as dining tables that can house groups of 4 to 6.
