MYX @ Chip Bee Garden - Soulful Comfort Food with a Playful Twist

MyX (pronounced “Mix”), the latest concept by Eleven Co. Group — the team behind MOXIE, SIRI HOUSE and CUDO — has found a cosy home in Chip Bee Gardens, Holland Village. Designed as a neighbourhood gathering spot, MyX blends soulful comfort food inspired by the American Coastal South and Latin America with a relaxed, community-driven vibe. The menu is built around sharing, bold flavours and creative reinterpretations, making it an inviting place to linger over food, drinks and conversation.

Artichoke Dip 4.2/5

We started with the Artichoke Dip ($15), a deceptively indulgent yet straightforward opener. A lush blend of cream cheese, ricotta and parmesan is enriched with truffle paste and truffle oil, giving it a deep, earthy aroma. The marinated artichokes add a gentle tang, while the fried Jerusalem artichokes bring a satisfying crunch. Finished with dill, it is comfort food at its most addictive, especially when scooped generously.

Salmon Tiradito 4.2/5

The Salmon Tiradito ($25) impressed with its layered flavours and finesse. The salmon is brined, brushed with shoyu and lightly torched, lending it a subtle smokiness. The dressing — a complex mix of lime juice, citron vinegar, hot pepper sauce, housemade adobo paste, guajillo chilli paste, agave syrup and white shoyu — strikes a delicate balance between acidity, sweetness and heat. Pickled daikon adds freshness, while harissa mayo, balsamic glaze and fried capers elevate the dish with richness and pops of umami.

Red Prawn Ceviche 4.5/5

Another standout cold dish was the Red Prawn Ceviche ($23). Lightly blanched local Anka prawns are paired with a chilled tomato-based sauce made from charred beef tomatoes, red bell peppers, red onions, habanero and garlic, blended with paprika, Clamato juice, red wine vinegar and beet juice. Seasoned with Cantonese prawn powder and sakura ebi oil, the ceviche delivers depth and savouriness, while crispy sakura ebi, pickled cucumber and watermelon radish add texture and contrast.

Venus Clams 4.2/5

Moving on to warm plates, the Venus Clams ($19) offered comforting indulgence. Bathed in a creamy sauce of nduja, housemade garlic confit, soju, and cream, the clams are further enhanced with smoky chipotle oil. Served with a garlic butter griddled baguette, this dish is made for mopping up every last drop of the rich, flavour-packed sauce.

Grilled Iberico Pork 4.2/5

For mains, the Grilled Iberico Pork ($38) is a confident highlight. The pork secreto is marinated overnight in citrus juices, aromatics and Mexican beer, resulting in tender, juicy meat. Lacquered with chipotle aioli and torched upon ordering, it carries a gentle smokiness. Accompaniments such as arugula, pickled plum, burnt red onion purée and a Thai-style toasted rice dressing add layers of acidity, nuttiness and spice, making each bite dynamic and well-balanced.

Dirrrty Chicken Rice 4.2/5

The Dirrrty Chicken Rice ($32) is MyX’s playful take on a Southern classic with familiar comfort at its core. The chicken, marinated overnight with a robust spice blend and citrus, is roasted till flavourful and succulent. It is paired with dirty rice sautéed with onions, red bell peppers, chorizo, confit garlic, Southern spices and adobo paste, then steeped in chicken stock. Hearty and deeply satisfying, this dish bridges bold Southern flavours with comforting familiarity.

Yuanyang Tres Leches 4.2/5

Desserts rounded off the meal on a high note. The Yuanyang Tres Leches ($14) is a clever hybrid of tiramisu, yuanyang and tres leches. A light sponge soaked in black tea, espresso, condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream and cocoa is rich yet not cloying, topped with vanilla-infused mascarpone and served with raspberries for a refreshing lift.

Kaffir Lime Panna Cotta 4.2/5

The Kaffir Lime Panna Cotta ($14) offers a lighter finish, with a softly set Greek yoghurt panna cotta infused with kaffir lime and lime juice. The brown butter crumble adds nuttiness, while the cherry compote introduces gentle sweetness and acidity.

Overall, MyX delivers soulful comfort food with creativity and confidence, backed by thoughtful execution and bold flavour combinations. With its inviting atmosphere, shareable plates and playful spirit, it is a welcome addition to Holland Village — a spot that encourages gathering, sharing and returning for more.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

York Hotel Celebrates The Year of The Hourse With Timeless Chinese New Year Flavours

To celebrate the Year of the Horse, York Hotel has curated a range of takeaway offerings featuring both festive classics and new creations, perfect for cosy home celebrations or gifting.

Prosperity Lo Hei 4/5

The Flavours of Fortune Combo ($298, serves 4–5 pax) is a wholesome yet luxurious spread of festive delicacies ideal for home celebrations. The set includes a Prosperity Lo Hei with Smoked Nordic Salmon and Sliced Abalone (large), as well as a thoughtful selection of mains and a dessert to round off the feast.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall 4.5/5

One standout from the set is a vegetarian rendition of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall ($98 à la carte). This meatless version was no less flavourful than its traditional counterpart. The slow-simmered medley of morel mushrooms, cordyceps flowers, shark fin melon, chestnut, shiitake and oyster mushrooms, carrot, radish, Shanghai greens, yam, and red dates resulted in a deeply nourishing dish for all.

Braised Duck with Sea Cucumber in Orange 3/5

The Braised Duck with Sea Cucumber in Orange Plum Sauce ($98 à la carte) is a returning favourite, elevated with a tangy orange plum sauce that adds a pleasant citrusy lift. That said, the portion I had was slightly dry despite the rich, flavoursome sauce, and the sea cucumber could have been more tender.

Steamed Multigrain Rice 4.5/5

My favourite dish of the combo, and of the evening as well, was the Steamed Multigrain Rice ($58 à la carte). Every bite was deeply umami, enriched with Chinese sausage and an enjoyable mix of textures from chestnut, lotus seed, black-eyed peas, and savoury sakura shrimp.

Golden Treasure Seafood Pot 4.2/5

Among the popular takeaway items is the Golden Treasure Seafood Pot, brimming with premium seafood such as rock lobster, crab claw, scallops, and prawns. The shellfish broth was vibrant and robust. While most ingredients were well-cooked, the rock lobster was slightly overdone.

Fortune Herbal Chicken 4/5

For something comforting and homely, the Fortune Herbal Chicken with Red Dates and Goji Berries ($68) delivered precisely that. The chicken was succulent, soaking up the gentle, nourishing flavours of the herbal broth.

Honey-glazed Pork Ribs in Hawthorn Berry Sauce 2.8/5

A meatier option is the Honey-glazed Pork Ribs in Hawthorn Berry Sauce, served with deep-fried mini mantou ($68). The sauce was tantalisingly tangy and sweet, though the ribs didn’t take on the glaze evenly, leaving some parts a little bland and dry.

Stir-Fried Tomato Garlic Prawn 4.5/5

The Stir-Fried Tomato Garlic Prawn ($68 nett, serves 4–5 persons) injected the meal with joyous, nostalgic flavours. Succulent prawns were coated in a thick, tomatoey sauce fragrant with garlic, evoking a comforting taste of home.

Traditional Yam Paste 5/5

Dessert was the Traditional Yam Paste with Pumpkin and Ginkgo Nuts, which was easily one of the best versions I’ve had in a long time—smooth, well-balanced, and a satisfying end to the meal.
