Milli Sky Dining, Bar & Lounge has taken over one of the hottest spots in National Gallery Singapore, and we’re fully anticipating it to be the party pick in the city. Overlooking the most coveted view of the Marina Bay area, you’ll be greeted with the perfect silhouette of Singapore’s skyline. Coming alive with the glow of the city’s lights, every view introduces a new vibe. And when you combine that with a powerful F&B menu? You’ve got a showstopping dining destination to check out. Here’s what I recommend as someone who paid the space a visit before its official launch.

An homage to classic Singapore dishes
A new restaurant in one of the city’s iconic monuments deserves a Singaporean-inspired menu. And you’re in for a real treat! Milli’s food menu is developed by none other than LG Han. Best known for his one-Michelin-starred restaurant, Labyrinth, LG Han continues championing his expression of Singaporean cuisine in Milli’s menu.
For a splurge-worthy moment, order the Alaskan King Crab Leg ($98). This humongous leg is served simply, with the shell removed for your convenience. You can dip it into the white pepper or salted egg sauces served on the side. But I enjoyed it plain to savour the sweet and plump flesh of the crab.
The cereal corn ribs ($20) is a must-order in my book. The juicy kernels paired with the crisp and savoury cereal make it an addictive snack.
To share, I recommend the grilled British cod’s head & collar ($48) served with an assam curry beurre blanc. A fish head may be intimidating if you’re unfamiliar with Singaporean cuisine. But dig deep into the cheek and collar for a meaty bite, and dip the side of roti prata into the assam for that mega flavour bomb. Yes, my tablemates and I all wished there were bowls of rice to have with this, but it’s still incredibly satisfying without.
Drinks with local heritage
The drinks programme is led by Vijay Mudaliar, founder of Asia’s 50 Best Bar, Native and the now-defunct Analogue. His passion for local ingredients and flavour permeates through the menu, honouring Singaporean heritage.
The whisky green tea ($26) is an homage to a classic club drink – Martell with green tea. Using scotch whisky and sencha distillate, the yuzu-infused drink comes topped with an earthy matcha foam. A refreshing option for warm days.
I loved the Peranakan Spritz ($26) for its bubbly lift, featuring ingredients like calamansi, coconut, and ginger flower. The drink also comes with a little slice of kueh salat, perfect to end as a dessert or as a sweet appetiser.
A forgotten classic is revived through The Milli ($28). The Million Dollar cocktail was created by Ngiam Tong Boon, a legendary bartender and also the creator of the Singapore Sling. Milli’s version uses a housemade Mandarin grenadine and is rounded with a touch of fino sherry and Mancino Blinco. It leans a little sweet for my taste, but no less refreshing than the other options.
For a boozy hit, order the Singaporean Breakfast ($26). Served as a slushie, it’s packed with familiar Singaporean flavours like Kopi O, kaya, gula melaka, and coconut. It’s an indulgent cocktail which will keep you cool all night long. I’d recommend letting the slushie melt to mellow out all the strong flavours.
Is Milli worth a visit?
From the stunning views to delicious food, and a club that’ll have you dancing till your shoes are worn out, Milli has put together multiple concepts to ensure the top-notch night out. The elevated offerings make it ideal for corporate lunches, casual hangouts, or a fancy introductory dinner for first-time visitors to our Lion City.
I can already picture the lively crowd gathered at this rooftop bar during the city’s hottest events. So if you’re a Formula 1 fan, love sunsets, or want a new spot to catch fireworks, you know where to go.
