Dine in a homely yet eclectic space where fusion cuisine with a local touch takes centerstage

Like a fairytale cottage hidden away from plain sight, Morsels is tucked in a rustic, barnyard-style home on Dempsey Hill.
The entrance, graced by climbing plants and a nondescript sliding door, opens up to a charming world of flowers and reupholstered wooden furniture.
Moving from its old home in Little India, the casual diner continues to surprise diners with its experimental fusion cuisine.
While fusion cuisine has suffered somewhat of a bad rep for its potentially confusing mashups, Morsels proves that when done right, fusion can be a harmony of well-thought flavours.
In the words of owner-chef Petrina, “I like to work with a variety of ingredients, teasing their natural flavours to release into the mouth a trained frenzy of sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami, tempering the temperature and texture, all on one plate.”
Here are a few of our favourite dishes:
2. Steamed Venus Clams, $24
Warm and comforting, especially on a rainy day, the Steamed Venus Clams is a simple dish that scores for its fresh flavours. The natural sweetness of the fig broth enhances the meaty clams, which were cooked just right. For the best experience, soak up the broth with the accompanying baguette.
