Look around the walls, and one might find Chef Petrina’s paintings and landscape photographs, sharing her love for the arts and nature. 

Our cuisine, predominantly Asian Fusion, is innovative and progressive. It is a reflection of Chef Petrina’s childhood heritage as a homegrown Singapore local, to her travels in seek of inspiration globally. Our award- winning celebrity Singaporean female chef-owner frequently seeks out fellow artisans be it winemakers, farmers, sauce makers and incorporates them into our menus. 

Back to our roots when we first started 10 years ago, a casual ala carte small plates wine bar is born. Our menu will be changing every 2-3 weeks, to keep things fresh and casual.

Chef Petrina Loh

Chef Petrina, born and raised in Singapore, was a former private banker turned chef. At 29, she decided to switch careers and moved to the melting pot, San Francisco, where she was formally trained in California Culinary Academy’s Le Cordon Bleu program and further honed her skills in various Michelin starred restaurants. Upon returning to Singapore in 2012, Morsels was born.

Her love for culture, food anthropology and artisanal foods gives her inspiration to create progressive fusion cuisine, which defies boundaries and ignores attempts at pigeonholing. Seamlessly weaving in medicinal and nourishing ingredients into her cooking with a strong penchant for fermentation and artisanal cooking techniques. 

She shares, “I like to work with a variety of ingredients, teasing their natural flavours to release into the mouth a trained frenzy of sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami, tempering the temperature and texture, all on one plate.” 
The chef-owner’s life tenets extends to the restaurant’s ethos-genuine, artisanal and approachable.
