WE ARE THE
house of stories
At Jiak Kim House, more than a restaurant, we tell stories that intertwine the rich tapestry of the past with the innovation of the present. From the ambiance to the cuisine, every element has a story to tell.
As you step into our House of Stories, let each corner unveil the tales of yesteryear, creating an immersive experience where the past comes alive in the present. Nestled in a century-old warehouse, our commitment to Modern Asian Cuisine becomes a bridge between traditions and contemporary tastes, paying homage to Singapore’s vibrant history.
Join us in celebrating the art of storytelling, where each visit is not just a meal but a journey through time.
