One of my new favourite places!
I spent Valentine’s Day dinner at The Gyu Bar and I was amazed at the food and the service offered! I opted for the chef’s omakase ($138++) which was described in the menu as a 10-course gastronomical journey. Well, the meal really lived up to its description as each course was a marvel of its own, and a story to tell as the chefs meticulously tell us about each dish and its origins. There were ooh’s and ahh’s aplenty as we tried the various cuts of beef that melted in the mouth.
$138++ for 10 courses at this level of quality, culinary expertise and service is hard to come by! Can’t wait to come back!

Satisfy your craving.
Been craving some Penang Char Kway Teow ($9+) and I finally got my fix at Penang Kitchen at Coronation. The noodles come piping hot and there’s a good amount of ingredients like prawn, Chinese sausage, egg and bean sprouts. The Chinese sausage’s flavour was kind of lost amidst the cooking process but everything else is pretty bang on. If come as a group, there are definitely sides worth trying like the homemade loh bak and rojak.

A party in your mouth.
Not many things come close when you pop a Burnt Ends’ “steak frites” in your mouth. The meat and fat of the steak tartare will melt in your mouth as the caviar helps to enrich the flavour of the beef. The fried potato base helps to round up everything together. It’s not typically on the menu but available at special request.
[ONE WEEK ONLY] An unforgettable dinner only made possible with a sick collaboration between NAMI and Osaka Cocina Nikkei from Peru.
Since my visit to South America, I’ve been wondering when will I ever get to try Nikkei cuisine again. Nikkei is now synonymous with a fusion between Peruvian ingredients and Japanese cuisine. So when I found out that NAMI was having a Nikkei pop-up, I just had to be there.
“The Nikkei Experience” is a 7-course dinner tasting menu going at $188++. The price may seem a bit steep but trust me, it’s worth it. I’ve never had a dinner that was so experiential and so ridiculously good. My favourites included;
▪️the Inka Nigiri Duo, a tuna tataki topped with a unique but absolutely delicious tiger’s milk chili sauce and a soy & pisco braised pork jowl;
▪️tako anticucho, charcoal grilled octopus with Nikkei chimichurri and limo chili pepper;
▪️nitsuke criollo, a 40-hour, 70-degree braised boneless short ribs doused in “lomo saltado” bbq sauce, kabocha yuzukosho and crispy quinoa; and
▪️suspiro Perú, an amazing textured soursop sorbet with a tantalising lemongrass dulce de leche, a wonderful matcha meringue on a bed of Amazonian chocolate crumbs. This dessert is really of the next level!
All in all, I think this is the dinner to beat for the year 2019. But be fast! This pop-up will only available for dinners till 27 January!

An amazing lunch at one of the most popular private kitchens in Singapore.
I’ve been anticipating having a meal at The Ampang Kitchen for quite a while now. There’s a minimum required number of persons each session, 8 for lunch at $60 pp and 10 for dinner at $100 pp. (We had an additional dessert so we paid $65 pp.) Imagine my excitement when I finally had enough lunch kakis to go!
Uncle Raymond and his son, David have planned a curated 7-course menu for us and each course was great in its own way. My favourites include the best kuih pie tee I’ve had, primarily because of the exquisite crispy pastry tart shell. Also, the century egg rojak was so delicious and fresh, safe to assume that I had half the bowl which was meant for 5 persons. What I really loved was the combination of fragrant buah keluak fried rice and the unique banana flower kechai. It was a beautiful contrast between the savoury fried rice, the fresh vegetables and the heat of the house made sambal that made me fall in love.
If you have the numbers, I’d totally recommend a makan session here. If not, the father-son duo offers takeaway too!

Another burger craving satisfied!
Visited Glasshouse by DHM which is a consortium of restaurants, L’Entrecôte, &MADE, Sabio and Ange Cafe, all housed in one terrace.
The burgers on the Burpple Beyond’s 1-for-1 menu caught my eye and particularly, Blue Moon ($22++) because I loooove blue cheese! The medium rare dry aged patty was tender and juicy while the bacon was crisp yet easy to chew. The golden shoe string fries were a treat to have especially with the restaurant’s gourmet house ketchup. My only gripe with this burger was the lack of French blue cheese as I could barely taste it. Still, it’s really value for money even with or without a 1-for-1 deal!
