MAD is the next step in the evolution of the dining experience.

 Woo... Recently I visited MAD Restaurant, at The Grandstand, Turf City with my bloggers friends!

Yes just few months back, TungLok Group had opened doors to their newest restaurant, MAD.

So MAD means Modern Asian Diner!

That's popular blogger, Sheena by the way.

Check out her blog here. 

MAD, inspired by the alter ego of Singapore’s much celebrated performer, composer and playwright, Dick Lee, stands for ‘Modern Asian Diner’, and puts a new spin on the concept of dining.  Led by TungLok Group, Bar Stories and Dick Lee, MAD is a five-way collaboration between top reputable Singaporean success stories. By introducing many different elements of food, beverage and retail in one place, MAD is a home-grown artisan dining experience that pieces together a jigsaw of the finest that Singapore has to offer and cannot be found anywhere else.

The split-levelled MAD features a bar, manned by famed mixologist Kino from Bar Stories; a charcoal-powered Josper Oven to enhance the flavour profile of meats and seafood; a specially fitted and designed Omakase-style tapas counter; and a wine cellar and tasting room by Top Wines, which boasts one of the most extensive wine lists in Singapore; and a bakery and bread boutique by Bakerzin which will serve freshly baked artisan breads.

Bringing the best of the West and East together, customers at MAD will also see a return of the classic dim sum trolleys – something that has disappeared from most dim sum restaurants in Singapore. Completing the atmosphere of nostalgia and modernity, MAD also features a curated retail gallery that displays and sells uniquely designed MAD merchandise and original creations by up-and-coming local talents. With only one of each item, every creation is a rare masterpiece on its own.

“MAD is a bakery, café and dim sum place in the day, and then a restaurant and cocktail bar at night. It has something for everyone and will never stop reinventing itself, whether in terms of food, beverages, style and ambience,” said Mr. Dick Lee.

Food is not the only thing that has been brought up-to-date in MAD - the service has also been given an innovative touch, in line with the vision to modernise the landscape of Asian cuisine. With a new iPad menu and ordering system, diners can easily browse through the menu and place orders without having to flag for service.

They served great cocktails! You can tell Sheena enjoying her cocktail!

This should try their cocktail seriously!
