No Comments on FRESH EATS: July’s 7 new spots will take you to foodie heaven!

We’ve finally reached the mid-year mark! The first half of the year has seen a flurry of new openings and revamps, so we’re bringing you seven new spots to boost your dining game for the next half of the year.

1. Godmama

If you haven’t already been, the newly revamped Funan Mall is THE HOTSPOT after Jewel at Changi. No kidding, this mall has a maze-like layout, and is filled to the brim with innovative retail stalls. That’s why it’s no doubt that Funan is home to one-of-a-kind dining spots like Godmama!

This Peranakan restaurant offers both indoor and alfresco seats, with the latter allowing you to have a great view of Funan’s rooftop garden. Godmama infuses modern elements into its traditional Peranakan plates—their All-Star Egg Skin Popiah is a hit with both the young and the old! Chock-full of comforting stewed veggie fillings, fresh prawns, and loaded with crispy garlic bits (the more crunch the better), their hearty popiah sure hits the spot after a day of exploring Funan’s facade.

Find it at Funan Mall, 107 North Bridge Road, Singapore 179105

2. Jimoto Dining

New Spot Jimoto Dining — Cr: Jimoto Dining

We know, you’ve probably been to Joo Chiat for an #OOTD session or two along its pastel-hued shophouses, but here’s another reason to visit the hipster enclave. If you’re pacing around the East, wondering what to have for dinner, head to Jimoto Dining, a quaint Omakase restaurant nestled amongst the other stylish cafes and bars. Helmed by Chef Takahiro Sato, the restaurant serves affordable, quality Japanese fare.

As sushi lovers ourselves, we too were intrigued by how Chef Sato uses Akazu—Red Vinegar—to make the sushi rice. The Red Vinegar adds a touch of acidity, and gives an umami flavour to the sushi rice—oishi! Sake-lovers, we haven’t forgotten about you! With their extensive sake list, you’re sure to find the perfect drink for every course! All omakase courses at Jimoto Dining consist of an appetiser, sushi, and dish of the day from the hot-kitchen. If you’re looking for a quick-fix post work, take up the five-course Toki ($55+), served only from 6—7pm. On the other hand, their Introductory Sanpuru ($68+), innovative Kakushin ($98+) and the premium Zeitaku ($128+) are perfect choices if you’re looking to impress a date.

Find it at 325 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427582

3. In Bad Company

Did you momma ever tell you not to hang out with your friends because they were ‘bad company’? Well, this casual bar embraces your ‘bad company’, with a to-hell-with-it attitude! In bad company makes sure you have good time, even in bad company.

At this spot, you’ll find yourself in the company of an array of craft beers—they constantly update their beer list with niche craft beers from local, and international providers, making sure it ain’t ever a dull moment when you crack open a cold one with them. If you’re feeling peckish, have a go at their yakitori sticks and bar bites—trust us when we say their spicy Super Crispy Nankin Kubes really pack a punch! So the next time your friends sabo you to pick a hangout spot, head over here and relish in the company of your favourite people!

Find it at 46 The Herencia, Kim Yam Road, Singapore 239351

4. Skiver Sky Bar

Speaking about bars, here’s another! Skiver Sky Bar is a no-frills watering hole, serving up your favourite drinks and bites in a swanky interior. Their plush couches and dark mahogany accents add to the cosy ambience—perfect for unwinding with your pals after slogging it out at work!

Have we mentioned that it’s also a rooftop bar? Those who’d rather the alfresco seating will be rewarded with a 360 degree view of the city, perfect for those golden hour selfies! To start off your night, try their Three-Tier Bar Food. Served in a tower reminiscent of high-tea dates with your aunties, this option consists of a mish-mash of their best bar bites, making sure you won’t have to fight over what dish to order!

5. goo ITALIANO

Fun fact: this restaurant has two outlets in Japan! goo Italiano is a casual Italian restaurant that prides itself on serving up affordable and authentic plates of pasta along Clarke Quay! This spot infuses elements from its Japanese outlets, offering creative options like the Tokyo Style Lasagna.

Unlike most Italian restaurants, goo Italiano shines the spotlight on Foccia Di Recco, a lighter version of Pizza. Their Foccia Di Recco comes in flavours like Parma Harm and Mushroom, great if you’re a traditionalist. But for those looking to try something different, we suggest the ‘Cacio e Pepe’, a version that infuses Baked Mash Potato and Cheese into the dough. If you’re a carb lover like us, that’s exactly what will hit the spot!

No Comments on Fresh Eats: 4 Fantastic Feasts for June!

We know, it’s finally summer! And that means it’s time to get fired up for some satisfying fresh eats with four of our newest selections!

1. Kuriya Dining

Fun fact: this place has seen the likes of David Beckham breeze through its doors. Historically, the Kuriya is where meals for important guests are prepared. So, trust us when we say you’ll be transported into a world of luxurious Japanese cuisine at Kuriya Dining.

Here’s the deal: You can now enjoy a sensorial gastronomic journey of Japan with their new Omakase Experience! In case you didn’t know, Omakase means ‘I will leave it to you’. Well, what’s a better way to enjoy a gastronomical adventure than relinquishing your dining choices? Take a seat at their intimate, 10-seater Omakase counter and feast your eyes on the culinary prowess of their chefs.

Savour 16 spectacular dishes, curated specially by Master Chef Naoki Tsuzuki, using the freshest ingredients from Japan. If you’re feeling up for a drink, we recommend pairing your meal with their finest sake—a perfect combination in our book.

2. Farangse

Sweet, spicy and robust flavours are what comes to our minds when we think of Thai cuisine. French flavours on the other hand, are more subdued and sophisticated. But why choose between the two when you can have both? Farangse infuses elements of French and Issan (part of Thailand) cuisine into a one-of-a-kind gastro-medley!

Are you in need of a pick me up? Start off your meal with juicy oysters topped with refreshing Ikura. The kicker? Their oysters are served with Thai chili sauce—talk about a burst of flavor! If you aren’t a seafood-ie, give the Thai salads a go before moving on to the mains. Its perfect balance of sweet and sour is sure to whet your appetite! For the mains, tuck into the tender Beef Cheek, braised in red wine and nestled on a bed of mashed potatoes.

3. IZY Fook

IZY FOOK interior (fresh eats) — *Cr:* *IZY FOOK*

We’re sure you’re a little confused by the wacky name. Meaning ‘一起福’ (together we prosper), this no-frills Japanese kitchen is inspired by old school Singaporean Cantonese restaurants. Step into IZY FOOK, and bask in the electric energy reminiscent of 70s Chinatown watering holes.

The swanky restaurant bar is split into two sections: The ‘Living Room’ and ‘Dining Hall’. Step into the ‘Living Room’ and be greeted by illustrations from Hong Kong’s up and coming illustrator Jonathan Jay Lee. Truly embodying its namesake, the ‘Living Room’ is where you can find ultra-hip diners bopping to lively hip hop tracks while noshing on roasted and charred Cantonese meats (siew yok anyone?). If you’re looking for a pre-drink snack, get the Buta No Shogayaki. It’s pan-seared ginger stick rolled with pork belly, deglazed with soy sauce and sansho slices. Super juicy and charred to perfection, there’s really no better way to kickstart your night! Need something heartier? You can’t go wrong with their Wagyu Truffle Don!

Looking to gather with friends over a cocktail or two? Head over to the ‘Dining Hall’. Located at the back of the restaurant, this cosy enclave is able to accommodate 50 people comfortably, and is perfect for a private hurrah with your favourite people!

Find it at 27 Club St, Singapore 069413

4. Noka

Fresh Eats Noka Singapore — *Cr:* *NOKA Singapore*

Just like you, we’re suckers for a good view. So where better to enjoy the spectacular Singaporean skyline than at rooftop restaurant NOKA! Perched atop the newly revamped Funan Digital Life Mall, this Japanese restaurant is located right smack in the middle of Singapore’s Civic District. Opening on 28^thJune, NOKA is the brainchild behind by Spa Esprit, and sister restaurant to Open Farm Community, which is why the same level of dedication to nature and the environment is upheld.

The well-loved farm-to-table concept at OFC is extended to NOKA. We recommend choosing a seat near the windows, where you can sit back and relish in the stunning view of the 5000 sq-ft urban garden that runs alongside the restaurant walls. What’s more: veggies from the edible garden are used in NOKA’s dishes. Their ECG Mushroom and Black Cod Saiko-Yaki both utilize the garden’s wide array of herbs and vegetables, making sure you get the ultimate farm-to-table experience!

Bali’s top 30 for the holiday season!

No Comments on Bali’s top 30 for the holiday season!

Eng | Bahasa

It’s that time of the year again! Like they say, “A little bit of summer is what the whole year’s all about”, and this time, summer coincides with the Muslim religious holiday, Eid-al-Fitr. Since this is a festival that most of Indonesia celebrate, holiday-hotspot Bali will surely be buzzing with tourists from all over — expect some places to be packed like sardines! To prepare yourself, book the best restaurants beforehand so you won’t go home on an empty stomach. Here are some great places to celebrate the holiday season!

Ubud

Welcome to the land of yoga and wellness. Take a stroll through Campuhan Ridge Walk, enjoy the lush scenery, and unplug for a bit. Afterwards, you can have an authentic Indonesian lunch at Hujan Locale, Kemiri, Nomad, or The Restaurant at the Chedi Club Tanah Gajah.

It’s time for some Bali-exploration! Be captivated by a kecak dance performance or visit the cheeky Ubud Monkey Forest for the ultimate Bali experience! After that, drop by the Habitat Cafe for a healthy and refreshing meal. But, if you feel like lazing the day away, sink into cool waters and watch the time fly by at Folk, or better yet! Enjoy stunning Ubud alongside Bali’s acclaimed sunset at Sayan House. Reservations are essential but fret not, we’ve got your back. Book your dinner at the best of Ubud — BLANCO par Mandif, Kubu at Mandapa, Pica, and bridges will be your best bets.

Seminyak

Oh my, we seriously don’t know where to start. Seminyak is such a fun area to explore! Experience the largest saltwater pool at Mrs. Sippy, grab a quick bite at Bo & Bun, or put on your sunnies and sip on a cold rosé while enjoying a delightful meal at Ijen, whereby zero wastage is promoted to lower carbon footprint. Wander around Jl. Kayu Aya and pick your favourites from a treasure trove — from traditional handmade souvenirs to designer boutiques, you name it, this street has it. You won’t be lacking dinner options here in Seminyak with Mamasan, Sarong, Da Maria, and Barbacoa being definite favourites. When you’ve had your fill, dance the night away at La Favela, but don’t forget to snap some shots at the cute photobox on the second floor!

Canggu

From_the_Land_Tongseng_Kambing_1554128131 — SVÁ Indonesian Tapas & Bar

If Seminyak and Ubud were to have a child, Canggu would be their baby. Start your day right by joining a barre class or relax through sunrise flow yoga at Fitspot Bali. Then, move on to indulge in great food at all-time favourite cafe Milk & Madu at Jl. Pantai Berawa, or enjoy a caffeine boost amidst ravishing rice fields at Cinta Cafe. Another must do is renting a motorbike and visiting the bustling local flea market around Batu Bolong area — like they say, reuse and recycle! Spend the rest of your afternoon lounging and watching the sunset from the beautiful La Brisa, surf at Echo Beach, or lay back and relax at the sophisticated COMO beach club. Spoil your taste buds with an exotic twist on traditional Indonesian flavour at SVÁ Indonesian Tapas & Bar. If Japanese is your thing, modern restaurants Musubi and Ji are some of the eateries we take delight in.

Kuta

Screen_Shot_2018_06_29_at_11_5_1531913996 — Il Tempio Bali

The jewel of Bali, the one that first brought the island to fame. Take a walk along the beach and splurge a little at the Beachwalk Shopping Mall *wink*. When hunger strikes, pay a visit to our favourite Italian places — Il Tempio and Jamie’s Italian Bali are just around the corner. Waterbom Bali is a One-of-a-Kind experience you just have to try in the city, and we believe you deserve a medal for completing the thrilling 5GX Reverse Bungy without throwing up. Treat yourself to a delicious meal of juicy, tender dry-aged meat at Henry’s Grill and Bar, or stuff your face at Feast Restaurant, located in Bali Kuta Resort. We hope you brought your dancing shoes, because LXXY is a glamorous nightclub not to be missed.

Rizu Modern Japanese Cuisine: Omakase Done Right

Post author By Michelle Tan
Post date January 9, 2019
No Comments on Rizu Modern Japanese Cuisine: Omakase Done Right

Just when we thought that we’ve tried all the Japanese spots in Singapore, more seem to pop up every month! If Telok Ayer is your usual haunt, it’s time to add another sushiya to your list. Cue Rizu Modern Japanese Cuisine, the latest addition to the slew of hangouts at Duxton Hill that is sure to give the other eateries a run for their money.

A Cosy Japanese Respite

If you’re looking for a quiet space to enjoy an exquisite Japanese spread, look no further than this quaint sushiya. The ambience is rather dim, which may not be ideal if you’re trying to take snapshots of the gorgeous interiors and dishes. However, rest assured that the experience here will make up for it! Choose a seat al fresco to soak in the ambiance along Duxton Hill, or take a table indoors and delight in the deep blue interiors of the restaurant.

The service is attentive but not ostentatious, and the waiting staff is always ready to answer any queries about the menu items. Attention to detail is impeccable here; from the food down to the tableware, small meaningful details are added to give Rizu that extra personal touch!

Simple Yet Impressive Japanese Creations

The best way to have a taste of Chef Noboru Shimohigashi’s culinary ingenuity is through Rizu’s Special Omakase, comprised of 11 specially-prepared dishes using the freshest ingredients of the day. Bringing diners through a journey of flavours, Chef Noboru brings diners on an experience to remember.

Some of our favourites include:

Live Lobster, Abalone, and Sashimi

When this massive platter hits the table, you’ll be mesmerised by the assortment of fresh sashimi on display. This spread features a worldly catch from some of the best fishing sites across the globe, from the cool waters of Boston and Norway to the Eastern seas of Japan and Korea. Need a testament to its freshness? Pay close attention to the ‘decorative’ lobster head – if you’re lucky enough, you’ll catch it moving from time to time!

Lobster Bisque

Unlike the creamy European version, the seafood bique at Rizu is a lighter version that’s pleasing to the palate and heartwarming at the same time. Packed with flavours of the ocean, the lobster bisque is extremely satisfying and the chunks of lobster meat add texture to the smooth, delicious broth.

Foie Gras Sauté with Plum Sauce

Chef Noboru’s ingenious way of pairing the buttery foie gras with the figs, plum sauce, and ume flesh makes this seemingly simple dish stand out on its own. The refreshing tartness of the fruits cut through the savoury foie gras – it’s undeniably a match made in heaven.

Wagyu Steak with Special Wasabi Sauce

Indulgence seems to be a recurring theme in Rizu’s omakase but we’re not complaining! One good example is Chef Noboru’s Wagyu Steak with Special Wasabi Sauce. Tender and beautifully marbled steak slices are seared to perfection, served with a side of seasonal vegetables. For those weary of wasabi, you can take comfort in knowing that the sauce tastes more like earthy sesame sauce dressing.

Sukiyaki Rice Bowl with Miso Soup

Fans of sukiyaki will adore this dish. Savoury and slightly sweet, the beef slices are cooked extremely tender with a melt-in-your-mouth consistency. The flavours lean towards the stronger side, but with the light miso soup, it comes together beautifully. The golden, runny onsen egg gives the rice extra depth that amps up the lux factor.

Crumble, Pear Gelee and Pear with Vanilla Ice Cream

To cleanse the palate, treat yourself to the Crumble, Pear Gelee and Pear with Vanilla Ice Cream. For those watching your waistlines, this light dessert is the perfect way to round up a meal. It’s not extremely sweet, which makes it a perfect dishes for those who aren’t too fond sweetness.

6 Dishes at Jun Omakase that We Can’t Get Enough of

Post author By Michelle Tan
Post date October 8, 2018
No Comments on 6 Dishes at Jun Omakase that We Can’t Get Enough of

With thousands of Japanese restaurants currently operating in Singapore, enjoying Japanese cuisine has become an unofficial national pastime. While people are busy debating which restaurants are better, beat the crowd to experience Jun Omakase, a quaint Japanese hideout along Church Street that serves stellar Japanese creations worth every dollar.

A Space of Comfort

Situated in the Central Business District (CBD), Jun Omakase sees a steady stream of returning Japanese customers as well as international patrons. With its simple furnishings that exude minimalist chic, entering Jun Omakase is like stepping into comfort itself.

The menu reflects the same minimalist principles that the Japanese are known for. Besides the usual appetisers and sushi rolls, they offer three types of omakase: “Natsu 夏”, “Ume 梅”, and the premium “Jun 纯”. We recommend getting a seat at the sushi counter where the executive chef brings you through the experience, from infusing your dipping sauce with shiso flowers to the best sequence in which to enjoy your sashimi.

Stunning Starters

The appetisers here start easy and light. We thoroughly enjoyed the Aburi Tuna with ginger flower that cleanses the palate. Don’t be alarmed by the plate of raw white corn served alongside it, either. These delicate morsels come bursting with chilled sweetness at every bite. Trust us – you won’t be forgetting them anytime soon!

Jun Omakase prides themselves as one of the few sushiya that sources fresh fish directly from Tsukiji Market. Thick slices of gleaming otoro (fatty tuna) and fresh tai (sea bream) sashimi are some of Jun Omakase’s highlights. Here, they serve them with a side of freshly ground wasabi and fragrant Japanese herbs to complement the cuts of fish.

A testament of true skill lies within a bowl of chawanmushi, and Jun Omakase takes it to a whole new level. Their Snow Crab Chawanmushi is smooth and delicate, balancing a savoury broth with the sweet shredded snow crab meat. Each mouthful is rounded off with a hint of yuzu, which refreshes the palate and leaves you feeling invigorated for the next dish.

Show-stopping Mains

Don’t let the simplicity of the Grilled Prawns with Homemade Mayonnaise fool you! This little number packs a punch with the sweet prawn meat blending harmoniously with the tangy homemade mayonnaise. Consequently, the grill lends a depth of robust flavours to the prawn.

The dish that surprised us all, however, is the Grilled Eggplant with Miso Paste. Who would’ve thought that a simple vegetable such as the humble eggplant would leave us speechless with its subtle, elegant sweetness? The fermented miso adds another level of flavour, while the seared scallops and prawns give each mouthful a pleasant bite.

Round things off on a lavish note with Jun Omakase’s Grilled Wagyu and Foie Gras. The beef has that melt-in-your-mouth quality that never fails to delight. Additionally, the foie gras is plump and buttery, taking on a hint of soft char.

If you find yourself around the Central Business District or if you’re just looking to avoid huge crowds on the weekends, head down to Jun Omakase for a meal worth indulging in.
