A place to gather.
A place to linger.

Behind Clay is an Asian Fusion Dining Lounge made for slow evenings and good company. A place to gather with the people you like, share plates from the fire, and let the night stretch on. No rush, no noise, just a room that holds the table together.

Find it, and the room reveals itself. The lounge is concealed behind IL CLAY, the Neapolitan pizzeria on River Valley Road, with an entrance waiting behind the wood-fired oven. This is not the pizzeria. It is its own concept, a place where two kitchens meet over one table.

Chef Ciro Sorrentino, the chef behind Margherí, Vietnam, brings the soul of Italian fire. Chef Yip brings over twenty years of contemporary Chinese mastery, a voice shaped across China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and now Singapore. At the bar, mixologist Voon leads the Duetti Collection, cocktails built in pairs to meet the skewers from the fire.

Settle in. Stay a while.

Find the door.

A duet of kitchens.

Behind Clay is the meeting of two cooking minds, brought together behind a single door. One works in fire and dough, the other in twenty years of contemporary Chinese craft. Side by side, they turn one table into a conversation between two worlds.

Chef Ciro Sorrentino
The chef behind Margherí, Vietnam

Chef Ciro brings the soul of Italian fire to the lounge, the same precision and instinct that earned Margherí, Vietnam its place among 50 Top Pizza, Top 12 in Asia-Pacific and Top 67 worldwide, along with the Two-Slice Award from Gambero Rosso International.

Chef Yip
Contemporary Chinese mastery

Chef Yip brings over twenty years at the stove, a modern Chinese voice shaped across China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and now Singapore. His cooking travels, adapts, and finds its own language wherever it lands.

One dish. Two chefs. One flame lit tableside.

Fried Quail, charred leeks, Sriracha, flambé Chinese wine. This is what happens when two kitchens share the same fire.

🔥 Be among the first to walk through our door. 27 June!

Behind Clay is an Asian Fusion Dining Lounge tucked behind the wood-fired oven at IL CLAY, Clarke Quay. Italian craft and Contemporary Chinese mastery sharing the same kitchen for the first time. Chef Ciro Sorrentino of Margherí, Vietnam — Top 12 Asia-Pacific, Top 67 Worldwide by 50 Top Pizza — and Chef Yip, twenty years of modern fusion rooted in Chinese precision across five countries, have built a menu that neither tradition could create alone.

Shared plates designed for the table, not the individual. A curated cocktail pairing program. A space tucked away from the city where you slow down, pour a drink, and let the food do the talking. Bring the people worth sharing a meal with.

This is not two cuisines becoming one. This is a conversation between two kitchens — and it begins on 27 June.

Reservations are very limited. Reserve your seat at http://qrco.de/Reservations_BehindClay

He flew from Naples to Vietnam and built one of the world's best pizzerias.

Top 12 Asia-Pacific. Top 67 Worldwide. Two-Slice Award from Gambero Rosso International. Chef Ciro Sorrentino of Margherí, Vietnam did not come to Singapore to make pizza.

He came to do something he has never done before.

#BehindClay #FindTheDoor #SingaporeDining #SGFood #HiddenRestaurant

Two people who have never shared a kitchen before.

Two traditions that have never been on the same menu. Chef Ciro, whose pizzeria at Margherí, Vietnam is ranked among the world's best. Chef Yip, twenty years of Contemporary Chinese mastery across five countries. This is not two becoming one. This is a conversation between two kitchens, and you are invited to listen.

Reservations are very limited. Opening 27 June. Find the door. 🖤

Some chefs cook. Chef Yip constructs.

Twenty years across China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka. Each kitchen leaving something behind in his hands. Wok hei that hits before the dish reaches the table. Umami depth that takes days to build and seconds to understand. Modern fusion based on Contemporary Chinese precision that never shows its work.

He is one half of what opens tomorrow at Clarke Quay. The other half, you'll meet soon enough.
