Founded in 2013 by Chef Petrina Loh, Morsels is a Singapore restaurant dedicated to soulful, ingredient-driven cuisine. Originally located in a charming shophouse in Little India, Morsels has called 25 Dempsey Road home since 2017. Set in a restored British-era Civil Service Clubhouse, the restaurant has been transformed into a rustic cottage hideaway—a reflection of Chef Petrina’s global perspective and deep Singaporean roots.
Every detail of Morsels’ interior tells a story: from reclaimed materials and travel keepsakes, to locally made ceramics by Mudrock, and original art and photography by Chef Petrina herself. It’s more than just a dining space—it’s a sensory showcase of food, art, and memory.
The menu at Morsels evolves regularly, showcasing progressive Asian Fusion cuisine that fuses local produce, global inspiration, and house-fermented ingredients handcrafted since 2018. As the 2024 Hungarian Mangalitsa Pork Ambassador, Chef Petrina—one of Singapore’s most respected female chefs—champions sustainability, craftsmanship, and deep-rooted culinary storytelling through collaborations with farmers, winemakers, and artisanal producers around the world.
In 2025, Morsels returns to its original spirit with a casual small plates wine bar concept, featuring a rotating à la carte menu every 3 to 4 months. Diners can expect bold seasonal flavors, paired with a curated selection of natural wines, craft sake, and low-intervention beverages designed to surprise and delight.
Morsels proudly embraces a zero-waste philosophy, grounded in slow food principles and a purpose-driven culinary ethos. Here, fermentation meets finesse, and every dish tells a story—of heritage, technique, and transformation.
Experience Morsels at Dempsey Hill—where heartfelt cooking, honest wine, and creative energy come together in a space that truly feels like home.
Chef Petrina Loh, born and raised in Singapore, is the chef-owner of Morsels and a trailblazer in Singapore’s culinary scene. A former private banker, Petrina made a bold career shift at the age of 29 to pursue her true passion—cooking. She moved to San Francisco, where she trained at the prestigious California Culinary Academy’s Le Cordon Bleu program, and gained hands-on experience at multiple Michelin-starred restaurants.
In 2012, she returned home to Singapore with a vision—and Morsels was born the following year.
Chef Petrina is best known for her progressive Asian Fusion cuisine that marries food anthropology, slow food principles, and artisanal cooking techniques. Her dishes are deeply inspired by her heritage, global travels, and a love for fermentation, sustainability, and nourishing ingredients that heal as much as they excite the palate.
“I like to work with a variety of ingredients,” she shares, “teasing out their natural flavors to create a trained frenzy of sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami—while playing with temperature and texture, all on one plate.”
As the soul of Morsels, her philosophy is clear: genuine, artisanal, and approachable. Chef Petrina continues to redefine what Singaporean fusion cuisine can be—thoughtful, boundary-pushing, and always ingredient-driven.
