Lion City Restaurant

Lion City Restaurant A Singaporean restaurant in Mississauga, Ontario. We draw inspiration from every corner of Singapore's culinary scene.

Lion City is a Singaporean restaurant in Toronto that celebrates the multicultural cuisine of Singapore and popular Southeast Asian street food. Curries from Little India, Gado Gado from Arab Street, Katong Laksa and the ever popular Hainanese Chicken Rice. In Singapore, we are passionate about food. It is held close to our hearts, much like how we do it at Lion City.

Getting too many messages from our rendang loving peeps!

Rendang Shepards Pie is a regular item and it’s beef rendang under fluffy potato and clever use of pickled cipollini to cut through. Presented in the most bougee way.

Hello dear LC friends! Hope you are all well 🫶

Sorry this is not a food post but we did want to share with our extended community that our son Oliver was casted as Young Simba in Disney’s The Lion King.

The show opens tomorrow at the Princess of Wales theatre in downtown Toronto.

It is the cumulation of our family’s concerted effort but mostly Oliver’s hard work to hone his craft and fiercely pursue his passion. A few auditions fails and many tears later, he has made it to Toronto’s biggest musical theatre stage.

Tonight he will perform at the first closed door invited dress preview with us in attendance.

Ollie, you teach mommy and papa every day what pure passion truly is. Anything is possible when you do it from your heart 🫶 we love you so much ❤️ Now go out there and give it your mightiest roar 🦁

Hello folks!

We have been busy clearing out the restaurant the past few days in this sweltering heat ☀️ and have finally handed over the keys.

When the time came to leave the empty unit, we were filled with emotions but managed to take one last smiley photo!

We had so much fun running this restaurant. We will miss it, and we will miss you ❤️ but for now, a big break for us!

Wishing all of you beautiful people a happy summer filled with family fun and togetherness ❤️

We received so many messages, too many to reply individually. Promise once we wrap up, we will reply.

To address some things:

1. Many are concerned about us so we just want to say we are ok. In a nutshell, the margins no longer make this a viable business so we decided to stop. We don’t have plans but you guys will be the first to know if we do. We are deeply touched by your love and care 😭 thank you for thinking of us ❤️

2. The restaurant will close but community will always be ❤️ we will still be here for you if you need us. Our website will shut down but we will keep social media lines open. If you or anyone you know needs our help, their homesickness cured, needs support please reach out. If we can, we will help. Reach out anytime. Even if you don’t need anything! We will be following each of you too.

3. Many asked if we might do pop ups and we’re not sure but maybe. We will announce here if we do.

4. We have disabled online orders today as we cannot cope. This was one of the reasons we did not announce earlier as we weren’t confident of handling a surge. We’re sorry and wish it could be different.

All your messages makes us want to invite y’all to a big house party, organise a group hug and feed you all day! 😂

In the meantime, we feel all your emotions, all your love. Keep all the lovely memories coming. This was so special and amazing. This is what community feels like ❤️

There is no easy way to announce that we have decided to retire from the food business and tomorrow will be our last day of operations.

They told us running a restaurant is brutal, reserved only for the foolish and brave.

They are not wrong, but we think with our hearts and seeing you enjoy our food day after day, for the past 5 years has brought us much joy.

We put everything behind making this a truly authentic Singaporean restaurant. Some serious pressure halfway around the world! But 5 years in this business legit felt like 10 human years 🫠 plus throw in a global pandemic 🤦🏻‍♀️😅

Today our hearts are full and we are proud to have authentically represented Singapore and her food.

To our customers who have enjoyed our food and hospitality through the years, especially our regulars, thank you so much.

Thank you for making us a part of your weekday takeouts, weekend family dinners, celebratory feasts, last request meals (not even kidding) and everything in between.

More than anything else, thank you for your friendship, kindness and love 🥺 we will miss you all so much!

To our staff past and present, we are able to come this far and last this long only because of you. You stood by us come hell (50 degrees by the wok in summer) and high water (burst pipes!) 😂

A special shout out for our current crew. It is truly Murphy’s Law, but you guys are the best we’ve ever had. Thank you for always giving your all. Thank you for the laughter, the tears. We love you and will miss you so much 😭

Lastly, this business allowed us to spend so much time with each other. It was a dream and an absolute privilege ❤️

Experiencing the highs and lows of running this business and juggling family life has made us stronger together. We know that together, we can get through ANYTHING. We are forever grateful 🥹

The time has come now to focus and dedicate our time to family ❤️ Thanks for being part of our journey and memories to last a lifetime ❤️

Singapore food represented 🇸🇬,

Rendang easily one of most ordered items at the restaurant.

Choose from bone in goat redang for full on flavour or our boneless beef rendang with fresh notes of kaffir lime leaves.

Both beautiful with a side of coconut rice or roti to polish off that sauce.

For many, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has triggered strong emotions.

As business owners we try to remain neutral to most political and social causes that we stand for in our personal lives.

The war however has impacted us and our business in more ways than one.

While we anguish at crazy and soaring food prices caused by the war, it is nothing compared to the suffering of innocent civilians killed or injured in indiscriminate attacks and the heartbreak of families suddenly uprooted from their everyday lives.

We have come to personally know Ukrainians who have become an invaluable part of the Lion City family. To see and hear their pain is to know and feel the atrocities of war.

We laugh with them, cry with them, and today we stand with them ❤️🇺🇦
