About Restaurant 1903

Tucked inside the Great Southern Hotel, Restaurant 1903 turns out authentic Singaporean hawker staples alongside hearty Japanese bentos. Host Christina treats the room like a personal kitchen, checking tables and adjusting spice levels on request. Insiders head straight for the Katong laksa—a rich noodle bowl rarely spotted around Perth—or the wok-tossed beef char kuey teow served with fiery housemade sambal. The expansive kitchen covers everything from unagi bentos and pork gyoza to crisp takoyaki, wrapping up with slices of imported Hokkaido cheesecake.

  • Authentic Singaporean Staples: Hard-to-find Katong laksa, beef char kuey teow with custom sambal, and Rochor mee served with fresh calamansi.
  • Broad Pan-Asian Menu: Expansive options ranging from unagi bentos and karaage curry to gyoza and imported Hokkaido cheesecake.
  • Kitchen Hospitality: Hosts Christina and Anthony offer tailored dish preparations and personal spice modifications upon request.

  • Welcoming and Gracious Host Presence

    Diners experience genuine comfort and appreciation from hosts who treat hospitality as a craft rather than a transaction.
