Masak is a Singapore-influenced restaurant by chef/owner Larry Reutens located in the heart of New York City's East Village. A Singapore native based in New York, Chef Reutens (formerly of Aquavit, Tasting Room, and Alias) interprets traditional Singapore fare, "Masak" in Singapore means to cook, but also draws from "Masak Masak" which is to play at cooking. This light-hearted and casual approach to cooking extends to the ambience of the restaurant, a bright and charming space inspired by the classic British Colonial black and white house, still found in parts of Singapore today.
