Red Sparrow is clearly the brainchild of Chef Jeff Koh's freedom of gastronomical expression of authenticity of Vietnamese flavours.
His various stints within the F&B industry from 17 years of age in renowned establishments such as the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Hacienda and Brown Sugar, only served to sustain his interest in the culinary art.
Jeff's love of gastronomical exploration has landed him the challenges as head chef in the popular Mexican dining establishment, La Salsa, situated in Dempsey Hill.
His interest in Asian cooking peaked after spending time in HCM city where he found his calling in perfecting his skills in Vietnamese cuisine which appears deceptively simple in its preparation.
What makes Red Sparrow's Vietnamese dishes flavoursome and authentic is his well-thought of combination of native asian herbs and spices used in traditional Vietnamese kitchens.
Chef Jeff fills the void in Singapore's dining experience of a bonafide Vietnamese cuisine with the birth of Red Sparrow.
Highly recommended for you to check out Jeff’s specially curated menu, tea-time specials with their premium drip coffee and Vietnamese snacks and Happy Hour deals all week for Vietnamese and international beer.
The best news is that the Sparrow sleeps only when its last diner leaves.
