The better half and I had the opportunity to savour this unpretentious tasting menu yesterday. As far as this tasting menu goes, it is affordable (at $49/ pax) and introduces new perspectives on familiar foods such as bak kut teh etc.
Notwithstanding the off-beat location in a ubiquitous industrial office type building, this is a gem that has managed to bring in the crowds largely with the power of the word of mouth. Key highlights had to be the chap chye salad (heck of a belachan mayo there) and the trio of bite sized appetizers (ever had ayam buah keluak in a crisp wanton skin?).
Lest we reveal too much, this is a menu worth making the trip down to CT Hub for. What clinched the deal for me personally was that this dinner was similar to the chef inviting you into his home for some quirky takes on his traditional favourites. His, his wife and (probably daughters) hospitality made it so comfortable. I especially liked the way he took pains to introduce each dish and the inspirations behind it. Now that's a local dining experience worth supporting.

When you gather with 12 friends, some you have not sat down for a meal for more than a decade, how do you juggle with eating & meaningful conversations? The degustation dinner Snack Culture last night was an excellent social-hang, given the time between each dish allows for 'what's up' catching up and the bite size gives you a polite mouthful.
The 9 plates provide a great n interesting addition to the conversation too! You have traditional dishes presented with new perspective yet respecting the flavours ( here I cite the Scottish egg aka Ter Kar Chor). The drink list is comprehensive & extremely reasonably priced.
You go with an open mind and leave with a inspired appetite, a happy tummy and a wholesome soul, knowing the 9 dishes did not burst your diet nor the wallet.
I would also recommend for date nights or couple time as the 9 plates is served at a comfortable interval giving sufficient time for conversation and little for awkward silence.
Kudos to the chefs, young crew & the brains behind this wonderful gastronomy adventure.
The bento box concept of 'pick what you feel like' is awesome. Healthy eating at its best. Nothing tastes "healthy". Even chicken breast can be tender and flavourful. Kudos to the chef! Did I mention I don't eat chicken breast? And the quinoa fried Yangzhou style - That's a religious experience! I love it! So uh that I went back and bought the frozen ones to bring home to extend my gastronomic pleasures! Yums!
For someone who don't like black fungus and I finished the whole bowl with a big smile. This is really the place to go if you are looking for healthy but not boring food. Snack Culture really blew me off with their food.
For someone who work in the food industry, I would said Snack Culture has bought my taste palette and food knowledge to another level which you cannot find in Singapore. All these with just simple and healthy food.
The attention and good service by Janice and her staff; the good host Tat Hon who is always engaging the guest and amaze us with his recipe. Both Husband and Wife deserve a big thumb up.
Thank You for the great dinner from start to end.
First time i am trying a degustation meal and i must say it is sooooo enjoyable to try so many different delicious small dishes. I love the chilled black fungus and mushroom salad in nonyq belachan Mayo dressing. Creative ideas served on a plate! I still have 3 more dishes to go... *excited*
Awesome! Tried their 'Around the world in 9 small plates" and im on my 6th dish and feeling v satisfied! You don't have to be worried about being not full! The salad inspired by nonya chao chye is a pleasant surprise & the laksa crostini is to die for ! Can't wait for the rest of the dishes !
They have put in a lot of thoughts not just in their food but also a new dinning concept packed in a small space. Is like a gift box with many surprises creatively.

The 9 plates are interesting and great, something special that ticks our appetite! Me and my friends enjoyed a wonderful evening chatting and eating. I hope the chef can come out with new menu every few months and we will certainly return with bigger group of friends.
I loved all the 9 courses especially the tom yum with edamane, chap chye, scotch egg, chilled bak ku teh. It was a pleasant food experience. Service is excellent.
Delightful food with awesome service! Love the interesting mix of flavours.
Healthy and yummy especially the beef and tofu and the quinoa fried rice.
Unbelievably good. The degustation menu is amazing and a wonderful dining experience.
I have a "roller coaster " experience dining here. Great job for blessing my husband with extra helping of seafood parcel for his birthday.
The food there is excellent. I will go with my friends again! :)
