Toothfish/snow cod marinated in a white miso glaze and grilled to a rich, buttery finish. The sweet-salty miso enhances the natural succulence of the fish, delivering deep savoury and umami notes. Beneath the crisp skin, the tender flakes simply melt in the mouth, making this dish irresistibly moreish. Each set is thoughtfully served with hot green tea, rice, miso soup, tsukemono, kobachi, and a refreshing salad dressed in roasted sesame 》$24.90 / Set

In my opinion, the best Italian restaurant in Singapore, although the pastas at the now-defunct Art restaurant on Market street were better! Good variety of extremely well-executed dishes, generous portions, friendly and efficient service. Good wine selection. If you carefully select the dishes, prices can be reasonable, but if you can afford it, there’s nothing wrong about splurging once in a while.

Salmon quality is not top tier, also the skin is under grilled.

Still ok

Everything else above average except the shredded pickles

Fish was not bad, some parts of the skin were burnt. Saikyomiso had a bit of the funky taste

A pretty decent fish and set that is as good as you're GG to get in Singapore for this particular dish at this price

Ps no mushroom today, but I heard that's good too

[ORCHARD, SINGAPORE] Hidden within a cosy side of Orchard Plaza where many izakayas are located at, lies @bistrodulepin where you will experience an explosion of french-japanese fusion flavours created by a Japanese chef. We had their Omakase Course ($100 per pax) and long story short, the cook here is insanely good and you really need to judge just that.

Coming in, you will be greeted by a rather rustic vibe, with a single server rushing everywhere to fulfil orders and a seemingly nonchalant chef. Once you open up, you will come to realise that they are really friendly!

There were about 8 courses in total, and we were increasingly impressed with each dish served. Don't be fooled by the plain saltine crackers served at the start; the other appetisers were so darn good, especially the chicken pate 🐔.

All sashimi 🐟 served were extremely fresh, and the garlic miso sauce on the Sliced Yellowtail was amazing. Full of umami, I wish I had rice to mop them all up.

As for cooked dishes, the Miso Cod 🐟 was incredible, so flaky, so fresh and they gave such a chunky piece. When you think things can't get any better, the Kagoshima Beef 🍖 topped the charts. Meaty, beefy, juicy and tender, nothing beats having this with just wasabi.

As there aren't many carbs, do expect to be about 70-80% full. I was thankful that the chef gave me more than one scoop of their delicious ice cream & sorbet! (don't think they offer this all the time, so I wouldn't bet on it)

Overall, the food & quality of the dishes is absolutely lovely and I will definitely come back again. I do see people complaining on Google about the service and how the server is doubling up as the line cook, but I feel like they are trying their best with the manpower crunch they are having. I feel like only a certain group of people who appreciate this will come back, no wonder why 70% of customers that night were regulars 😁

When u want more variety of fish other than saba or salmon with that charcoal grilled taste , this place offers affordable & good quality fish .

Chunks of boneless chicken drenched in fragrant and flavourful special black sauce and sesame oil. The pieces of chicken are extremely tender and flavourful, accompanied by a savoury aroma of sesame, minced garlic and chilli padi. Pair this with a bowl of steamed rice and we are good to drench our bowl of rice with the sauce 》$9 / Large

Served sizzling warm and crunchy with some bite in a claypot 》$6.80
