Traditional

Can’t recommend Miraku enough! The chefs put in a lot of love and care into the entire experience and it really shows. Standouts for me were the shima aji, kamasu, melt-in-the-mouth otoro and the bafun uni but every course was very fresh tasting and had unique complements like rice salt flakes fron Japan as well. Really loved their shari with 4 different types of vinegar (!!!) and their amazing tamago that Chef Ivan explained uses fish paste instead of flour, but retains the mouthfeel of castella cake.

Food and beautiful interior aside, it was the warmth and attentiveness of the staff and Chef Ivan that made my experience at Miraku that much more enjoyable. Had a really fun conversation with Chef Ivan about the different types of fishes and ingredients he used, and you can tell he has a lot of pride in his work. Also loved that even the dessert has a story behind it!

Learnt from Chef that all fish is flown in from Japan 4x a week for top notch quality. Am eager to taste more of Miraku and can’t wait to be back!

Joo Chiat Kim Choo has always been consistent in quality over the years, and their Memory Trove gift set wowed my family. We loved the elegant packaging!

The Hokkien and Nyonya rice dumplings were delicious as expected and what my family deems the gold standard. Great filling to rice ratio, and well-seasoned too.

The kueh salat was a pleasant surprise as we’ve never had Kim Choo’s version before. Custard had a strong pandan flavor and lovely mouthfeel, and the coconut in the rice really stood out! 👍
