Korean chef-owner behind Michelin-starred restaurant NAE:UM, Louis Han, has opened a new restaurant concept called GU:UM.

The new eatery specialises in dishes cooked over a modern charcoal grill.

Located in a heritage shophouse along Keong Saik Road, it has a warm and cosy interior which seats about 40 pax.
