Wrapped up the meal with a few well-loved classics that always deliver. The grilled black cod teriyaki was sweet, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth soft. Miso soup came soothing and light, keeping things grounded between bites. A crisp wedge of muskmelon followed, cool and refreshing, the kind of dessert that doesn’t try too hard but still feels luxe. And of course, the uni add-on — this time, it was Murasaki uni, paler in hue with a gentle, mellow sweetness. A softer note compared to the Bafun uni I’d had previously, which leaned rich, orange, sweet, and briny.
Tried the limited-time Hidden Flame Omakase ($128++ for 2 Pax) at Standing Sushi Bar and it was pure umami indulgence from start to finish. The 9-piece aburi sushi lineup delivered smoky flair with restraint — each piece lightly torched to unlock depth while letting the fish’s character shine.
The grilled course brought satisfying char, miso soup and dessert wrapped things up with gentle sweetness.
Here’s how the sushi lineup played out:
1. Shima Aji + Sea Salt & Lemon
Firm, clean, with a zesty punch
2. Kinmedai + Vinegar Jelly
Delicate flesh with tangy jelly
3. Hamachi + Yuzu Miso
Smoky-sweet and ultra smooth
4. Shio Maguro
Lean and meaty
5. Hotate + Mentai
Charred scallop blanketed in creamy richness
6. Madai + Yuzu Zest
Citrusy lift over tender flesh
7. Aka Ebi + Miso
Juicy bounce and mellow umami
8. Chutoro + Yuzu Pepper
Velvety with a slow-burning spark
9. Otoro + Radish & Ponzu
Lush and buttery finish, brightened by crisp radish zing
The aglio olio here is bold, garlicky and packs just the right amount of heat. Each bite delivers that satisfying punch of flavour that lingers. The chicken chop is tender and juicy, perfectly paired with black pepper sauce that adds a savoury kick. Portions are generous, enough to send me straight for the inevitable post-lunch food coma. With big flavours and great value, this is one meal that hits the spot without hitting the wallet too hard 》$8.20
A signature and popular Sichuan dish that features cubes of chicken coated with spices and fried until golden brown and crispy along with tons of dried chilli and Sichuan peppercorns. It is spicy yet addictive. Be warned of the electrifyingly spicy and numbing sensation. I personally couldn't take the original level of spice and requested a less spicy 少辣 order which was still numbing and spicy on an acceptable level.

Sour and spicy broth with pickled mustard greens (酸菜) and fish slices. The yellow-green broth is made with various kinds of pickled veggies such as pickled mustard greens, pickled chilli peppers and pickled ginger. The fish slices are super tender with a velvety silky texture and zesty taste. The portion is good for sharing and it comes with glass noodles in there. This is an appetising dish and really comforting to have on a chilly day.

A classic dish from Sichuan cuisine that features crispy cauliflower florets stir-fried with bacon, garlic, scallion and chilli peppers in an aromatic savoury sauce. The cauliflower absorbs the flavour of the sauce so well and makes it addictively tasty.

An appetising and mildly tangy side dish made of shredded potatoes stir-fried with Sichuan peppercorns and dried chillies. The potatoes are not too soft, retaining a light crisp/crunch and the “hot and sour” 酸辣 flavour is not too overpowering in flavour.

The spicy fragrant broth is aromatic and not overly fiery. The spicy level was comfortable for me. The fish is fried to a slight crisp on both sides and moist inside. The meat is soft and reveals a tinge of smokiness with each bite. The accompanying veg provides a nice and juicy crunch. I would recommend pairing it with rice as it can get quite salty over time.
The queue and the waiting time to get our food cooked can easily go up to an hour. The secret to shorter waiting time is to call and pre-order in advance.

Açaí has that perfect mix of refreshing tartness and berry-like sweetness, making it a solid base for an indulgent yet wholesome treat. The Nutty Party takes it up a notch with a delicious balance of crunch and creaminess — sweet banana slices, golden granola, a medley of nuts, and cacao nibs, all working together to keep things interesting.
The Pistachio sauce drizzle brings a bold, nutty creaminess that elevates everything, making each spoonful feel extra decadent. If pistachio sauce isn't your pick, you can also choose from other drizzles like honey, nutella, cookie butter, almond butter, peanut butter or cashew butter for your own twist 》$15.80 / Large
