An Asian experience with handcrafted dim sums, signature sushi, and crafted cocktails
Origyn, a new luxury restobar in a hotel, offers a curated Asian culinary experience featuring handcrafted dim sums, sushi, and cocktails. The venue emphasizes a travel-inspired atmosphere with views of the airport runway.
Why it matters
It reflects the growing trend of experiential dining in the hospitality sector, where ambiance and storytelling are as important as the food itself.
On a breezy afternoon, I walk into Origyn, a luxury restobar at Merlis Hotel, and the first thing I notice is the natural light that floods the space. It sets the tone for the contemporary lounge where people can slow down, and engage with thoughtfully crafted food and drinks. By evening, the ambience changes, with the outdoor decks overlooking the runway offering a spectacle of aircraft taking off and landing against the city’s skyline.
Sundeep Devarajan, executive director of Raj Park Hotels (Merlis is a unit of the same group) says Origyn was conceived as a traveller’s experience of Asia across cuisines, flavours and memories. “When we designed the place, we clearly wanted a concept that covers Asia as a continent,” he says, adding, “It is like travelling to different cities and exploring their food.”
