Slow-marinated, deeply caramelised, and built on over 30 years of refinement.
Our BBQ Pork Dry Noodles feature Australian pork belly marinated for over 24 hours and brushed with local honey, creating a balance of sweetness, aroma, and char that defines great char siu. The result is tender, flavourful pork with a glossy caramelised finish in every slice.

Nasi lemak for comfort, laksa for that rich, spicy kick, protein combo rice when you want it all, and BBQ pork dry noodles to satisfy every craving. 🍜🍚
Nasi lemak is one of the most beloved dishes in Singapore, with roots in the Malay community.
The name “nasi lemak” means “rich rice,” referring to rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaves, giving it that fragrant aroma and creamy, comforting taste.
Over time, it evolved from a simple home-style meal into a national favourite, enjoyed any time of day.
With its balance of flavours, it became a taste of nostalgia and everyday comfort that Singaporeans grew up loving. ❤️🍚

A taste of Singapore, carried to Melbourne ❄️🥄
Chendol and Ice Kacang are more than just desserts — they are part of Singapore’s food heritage.
Born from Southeast Asia’s tropical climate, these classics were created to cool, refresh, and bring comfort in the simplest way. From finely shaved ice and fragrant gula melaka, to soft pandan jelly and vibrant syrups, every element reflects a balance of flavour, texture, and tradition passed down through generations.
At LHS, we bring these iconic desserts to Melbourne as part of our journey to share Singaporean food culture — reintroducing familiar flavours with care, and inviting more people to experience the stories behind them.
Nostalgic, refreshing, and made to be enjoyed slow.

Chendol kind of day 💚
Cool, creamy, and just the right sweetness to brighten your mood, you deserve it.
Chendol is a beloved traditional dessert from Singapore, known for its refreshing layers and nostalgic flavours.
At its heart are the signature green jelly strands, made from rice flour and infused with pandan.
Their worm-like shape isn’t just for looks. It helps the jelly stay silky and easy to slurp, perfectly catching the coconut milk and ice in every bite.
It’s this playful texture and aromatic sweetness that make chendol a true taste of Singapore. 💚
