Event Details

Loca Niru, a restaurant by Gaia Lifestyle Group, will open its doors on 6th November 2025. Set on the second level of the storied 140-year-old House of Tan Yeok Nee and helmed by the young and talented Chef Shusuke Kubota ‘Chef Shu’, it will be the inaugural fine-dining concept to welcome guests within this national treasure.

The cuisine of Loca Niru is Contemporary Innovative, in which inspiration from tradition, together with the marriage of Japanese sensibilities and French technique, create forms that are new and novel.

The name ‘Loca Niru’ is a Romanised derivative from the Zen idioms, 'Hakuba Roka ni Iru’ and ‘Hakucho Roka ni Iru’, representing perfect balance and coexistence in a beautiful space. Just like the House, which is emblematic of the harmony between past and present, heritage and craft; Loca Niru is the embodiment of the serene, quiet values that inspired its name.
