embu at Mandarin Oriental Singapore
by Silverfox Studios Pte Ltd

Silverfox Studios Pte Ltd has reimagined embu, the stunning 365-seat three-meal outlet at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Singapore. Embu, inspired by the resilient Singapore Tembusu Tree, is beautifully situated on Level 3 adjacent to the Guestroom Atrium. The visionary redesign by Silverfox Studios removed bulky cabinetry, extended the front aspect to the atrium edge, and added an additional 50 seats at the rear, opening it to a lush terrace garden.

The vibrant transformation opens the façade to the atrium, seamlessly connecting the interiors with the exterior through a clear glass façade that reveals the landscaped terrace and gardens. The terrace features 45 seats, an outdoor grill, a pizza oven, and a delightful children’s playground, creating a dynamic dining experience.

Inside, the design celebrates Singapore’s “Garden City” concept with striking curved timber louvres over structural columns that merge into a stenciled backlit ceiling depicting forest canopies. Embu boasts 11 exciting culinary stations, including seafood ice stations, Asian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Western counters, a carvery, bakery, pizza oven, and dessert and fruit counters.
