Looking for Japanese places?

Had our Anniversary lunch here not just for the occasional classy atmosphere but standout dishes.

Noteworthy mentions:
Smoked asparagus 🌟🌟🌟
Close your eyes and imagine a smoky forest in your mouth

Heirloom Tomatoes
Tomatoes can taste this good!? 🍅

Chicken leg 🥵
Tender is the flesh, generous is the meat 🍖

had q high hopes for this place bec i saw a review raving abt authentic italian fare here but MAN what a scam 😭😭😭😭

texture of the ragu fettucine was soooo odd like it wasn't chewy nor soggy nor crispy but somehow a mix of all? idk there was no word to describe; also kinda js tasted like saizerya bolo but worse. i actl would rather have saizerya which is saying alot!!!! ☝🏻☝🏻😵

anyways the pesto was ok luh salty garlicy but if you're looking for the green grass taste it's not there lor. the cone shaped pasta q chewy (but not rly al dante... more like previously cooked then heated up in microwave type of texture) but pass la 6/10

w burpple i think can close one eye to the prices ($24 per pasta) but NO LA just pay full price at chicco pasta bar like 2 mins walk away pls 🙏🏻

Tajima MBS 6-7 Wagyu Picanha

A true indulgence, the Wagyu Picanha was a masterclass in simplicity and execution. The shio koji marinade deepened the meat’s natural umami, allowing its marbling to shine. Each bite was intensely flavorful, perfectly paired with slow-roasted banana shallots that added a caramelized sweetness.

Chicken was tender & pairs super well w sambal. Love the texture of the sweet potato glass noods too!

food came right after ordering, had ice ocha which was refreshing, kani gratin was super delicious and ordered twice and gyu don, the beef was soft and a tad chewy and the rice was fragrant and soft and the sauce blended beautifully!

Had the gyu ponzu, garlic fried rice and the kani gratin, love the flavor of the gyu ponzu and the kani gratin, service was fast and efficient, food came out quick as well, overall will be back👍🏻

Visited Shukuu Izakaya with my partner after seeing it on TikTok! The atmosphere was really nice, and mimicked an Izakaya bar in Japan.

Both of our favourites was definitely the Gindara Misoyaki, which is on the seasonal dinner menu. The fish tasted really fresh and also was well marinated! The kushiyaki are also also a must-try, we got the Chicken Thigh in Shin, and the Pork Belly in Tare.

We ordered various Umi Sushi bentos and they are all pretty good and nicely presented.

[NOVENA, SINGAPORE] Chanced upon this restaurant @bariuma_sg and I was SOOO happy to have eaten here! I absolutely love my ramen and this restaurant definitely reminded me of the ones I've had in Japan. If you like rich tonkutsu broth, this is for you.

The Ajitama Uma ($15.90) was such an enjoyable bowl. They nailed every component of the bowl of ramen definitely. The soup was very rich, full of umami and yet not too salty. You can really taste the different dimensions of flavour, from savoury pork broth, to aromatic shoyu, to the smoky garlic flavour they have managed to include in this bowl. The noodles were so chewy and satisfying too! Char siew also slapped, as it was tender, well marinated and smoky. Finally, the egg itself was also well marinated and had a good gooey consistency!

Do get their Gyoza ($7.90 for 5 pcs) as an add on. It was so satisfyingly crispy on the outside, and it's so juicy inside! Even their Kaarage ($7.90) was juicy as well. They may be expensive and if you need me to choose, their gyoza is definitely the must-get here.

The ambience is also worth mentioning as it reminded me of noodle shops in Japan. Definitely coming back when I have my ramen cravings again 👍🏻

We love their tempuras and ordered these to share n crunch thru our dinner! So good! I wonder why this outlet is so quiet n empty. The food is good every time I eat here. The restaurant is clean and settting is good. There has never been a crowd so far as I have been here. The service is slow as there are very few waiters/waitresses/cooks maybe but they are nice. I hope something is done to promote this place better and attract more customers coz I don’t want it to close down… I want it to to stay and thrive well! Maybe they need to join Burpple to attract the crowd!

Dinner at Ingleside Singapore

Great food with great experience! The dishes were made with finesse, the flavours and plating spot on! Some dishes that i enjoyed were the Maitake & Pork as well as the Venison Tenderloin.

The pork was flavorful, and the mushrooms were sautéed to perfection, bursting with sauce in every bite. The crispy kale also added a delightful texture that tied everything together beautifully. For the Venision, the flavors complemented each other exceptionally well, creating a harmonious balance! But…wah…it really melted in my mouth… super rich and tender! The different components in the dish really goes very well with the tenderloin!

For dessert we had the Deconstructed lemon meringue tart! It was refreshingly cold and crispy thyme crumbs also added a perfect contrast that rounded out the meal.

The staff were incredibly friendly, taking the time to walk us through each dish and explain its different components, also guiding us on what to eat first! Truly commendable!

Will come back again!

Honorable mention: Truffle Toast 2.0 - It transcended my friend and i to heaven 🤣 Must try!!!

Had an awesome experience at Sushi Muni, ambience was simplistic and very japanese.
Food was exemplary and Chef David made us feel at home as he initiated conversations about the food and our experience. Definitely will be back for more!
