Named after the Western Han Dynasty prince who invented tofu over 2,000 years ago, Ān is the latest soy-focused innovation by MORA. According to legends, Han dynasty Chinese prince Liu An first invented soy milk for his old and ill mother who wasn’t able to chew her food, by grinding soy beans into milk. One day, he accidentally mixed soy milk with gypsum powder, producing the first tofu-like substance in history.

Chef-proprietor Vicky Lau fell in love with soy after the “Ode to Tofu” single-ingredient lunch menu, which showcased various forms of soy products in a fine dining format. The menu was Chef Vicky’s first foray into applying classical French techniques upon humble soy products, drawing wide critical acclaim for its nostalgic, well-researched and impeccable East-meets-West execution.
