Mandarin Oritental\u2019s latest addition \u2013 in partnership with Maximal Concepts, The Aubrey presents features from the Japonisme era. Japonisme refers to Japan\u2019s cultural influence in Western Europe. At The Aubrey, Japan\u2019s heritage is celebrated with the authentic culinary scene matched with paintings inspired by various artists.<\/p>\n<h3>We review The Aubrey<\/h3>\n<h3>The story behind the name<\/h3>\n<p>The restaurant gets its name from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aubrey_Beardsley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Aubrey Vincent Beardsley<\/a>, who was a 19th-century illustrator and author, and a prominent figure in Japonisme. Japanese woodcuts inspired his work and he often portrayed a more grotesque and erotic style of art. Seeing some erotic art around The Aubrey should come as no surprise.<\/p>\n<h3>An interior design enthusiast\u2019s heaven<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_177580\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-177580\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-177580 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/The-Aubrey-Main-Bar-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/The-Aubrey-Main-Bar-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/The-Aubrey-Main-Bar-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/The-Aubrey-Main-Bar.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-177580\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The main bar at the izakaya that\u2019s divided into three zones<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The layout of the restaurant is designed in a way that&#8217;s supposed to portray a European art collector\u2019s home &#8211; one set in Europe during Japonisme. The luxe decor with its plush chairs provides cosy corners where your privacy goes uninterrupted. Upon entering the restaurant with its gorgeous red-carpet welcoming, you can seize your chance to grab your drinks at the main bar and then lounge at the drawing room.<\/p>\n<p>The walls are carefully filled with well-selected pieces of art, often met with hanging preserved green plants. While most rooftop restaurants would decide to show-off the harbour views, The Aubrey has decided to go unconventional &#8211; the windows have thick frames, blocking much of the view and they all have curtains with bird prints, giving a truly homey feel. Besides, with the attention to detail from decor to food, you wouldn\u2019t even be tempted to look out the window.<\/p>\n<h3>#foodporn<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_177581\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-177581\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-177581 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/The-Aubrey_Oysters-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/The-Aubrey_Oysters-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/The-Aubrey_Oysters-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/The-Aubrey_Oysters.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-177581\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pairing some oysters (topped with caviar) with sparkling sake is a must!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What we love about the ingredients is that they&#8217;re sustainably sourced from small farms.
