Head on down to 来Lim Bistro for a carnival themed restaurant with many paintings or canvas art depicting the beloved singer many would know and love, Jay Chou. Although the bistro is not owned, associated nor endorsed by the singer, with multiple neon lightings and colourful décor, this eatery is for Jay Chou fans by a Jay Chou fan.
As a Singaporean fan who has been listening to Jay Chou’s songs for a good 21 years and more, the boss wanted to combine his love for the singer with his Singaporean identity. Opening a themed restaurant that pays tribute to his idol in June 2021, the name “LaiLim”, which is Singlish originating from the Hokkien dialect for welcoming friends, family, lovers, colleagues — and in this case all like-minded fans of Jay Chou – to come drink and be merry.
Interior
Decorated along its red and white colored walls, canvas art paintings of the Jay Chou can be found. The series of six canvas artworks were commissioned by the owner of LaiLim for his bistro and was created based on the following principles:
- As artistic tribute to an idol who has inspired the boss to keep working hard
- To fit in with the colourful and cheerful theme of the “Carnival” concept and help create a relaxed, lighthearted, and casual ambience.
- The fulfilment of a dream of the owner’s to combine two things that he loved – his idol and local food
- To give a sense of the idol’s “presence”
