Asian Yums

Super delish, value for money and one of the several Keisuke outlets in Tanjong Pagar (all with a different speciality).
Set included five gyozas (choice of pork/chicken/prawn), two sides, rice and soup. The dumplings were the right amount of chewy with really juicy tender meat. Complementary bean sprouts and furikake seasoning made the dining experience feel very homey, especially in a cosy 13-seater diner. On the flip side, this tiny space made for very long waiting time; could be as quick as immediate during off-peak hours or 1h+ on weekends.

This eatery really brought out the essence of a good sandwich with bread that’s airy and just enough crackle on top. Flavours were light, bringing out elements of fresh crisp vegetables, tender grilled pork and a touch of heat from the sliced chili for the adventurous.

Labelled as “must try”, this rather unorthodox dish stood out from the rest with its pop of colours.

On one side of the bowl was delectably fried chicken - light crisp breading wrapped the tender meat, drizzled with sweet chili sauce. On the other were the refreshing flavours of iceberg lettuce (and vegetable friends), dressed in yogurt and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

As someone with low spice tolerance, the cold creaminess of the salad was both an indulgence and comfort in the face of the heat. It’s a pretty good modern take on Korean cuisine with notes of sweet and savoury and everything nice.
