Perfect evening here [TELOK AYER, SINGAPORE] If you fancy a good evening night out with good food and drinks, look no further as @gotti.sg got it handled. Splendid food, really good cocktails and entertaining bartenders and servers really made our evening here. Being an Italian restaurant, Gotti executed their risotto and pizzas really well. Risotto Al Granchio 🦞 ($32) boasts a really delicious lobster bisque with bits of crabmeat that provided additional sweetness. There was the slight bite to the risotto that I was looking for too! Pesto E Burrata 🌿 ($36) pizza was a delight as well, with a fluffy chewy crust that was so well seasoned, and a pesto & burrata flavour combination that was rich and aromatic. As for starters, Ceviche Di Capesante 🐚($32) was really refreshing with tangy, sweet and savoury flavours all coming through from the yuzu dressing, scallops and ikura. You can try to ask for their current hidden menu, which was their Beef Tartare 🐮 at that point of time. It was so fresh too! Desserts can't be skipped here, with their Tiramisu 🍰 ($18) being a lovely end to the meal. They don't go easy with the liqueur in this, which made it so satisfying 😋 Their cocktails are definitely a speciality here, with the bartenders being so skillful. Their Old Fashioned 🥃 ($22) was really one of the best I've had, with the whisky blending so well with the cinnamon flavours. They can even do bespoke drinks, which is an experience to try 😍 They have speciality event nights with DJs playing running across several days in a week too... Gah there's just too many reasons to come here 🥹 Everyone in the @gotti.sg team was so lively, and you can see their passion in their job through the food, drinks and service. Can't wait to be back for a good evening again. Thank you @gotti.sg for the invite 😍

Gambero Alla Marinara | $32 Loved the flavours from this seafood pasta. The lobster bisque and brandy combination was impeccable - so savoury and umami but very light on the plate. Also, a very good amount of black tiger prawns. The choice of linguine pasta really gave that slurpy goodness. Couldn’t have enough of this! Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟

Guanciale di Manzo | $32 Fusilli with a Wagyu beef cheek ragu that was slow cooked for 12 hours with red wine. You can taste the richness of the sauce together with the tender meat chunks in the ragu. Personally not a fan of short pasta like fusilli but it complemented everything perfectly, considering the thicker consistency of the sauce. If you’re a fan of meat based and red sauce pasta, this is one you can’t miss. Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟

KOMA Signature Dessert Omakase v interesting and well-plated desserts: Bonsai - super interesting & dark choc v rich Japanese Cheese Cake - soo light & what surprised us the most (in a good way) was that the strawberry syrup was sour instead of sweet! Fruit Platter Lemon Yuzu - lemon mousse, yuzu jelly. q sour, balanced with the sweet white chocolate shell & cacao nibs Exclusive to the platter (and honestly my favs) - matcha(?) macaron, matcha popsicle, bon bon chocolate, mochi ice cream, dark chocolate shaped to resemble the iconic KOMA bell.

Japanese Fusion We tried quite a few of their signature items n everything is decently above average but the star item has to be the Wagyu dumpling 🥟.

Bonsai | $17++ Molten dark chocolate, crunchy praline. Love how this isn’t too sweet and there’s so much going in that makes this so good. A must try!

Tiger Prawn Pasta The Tiger Prawn Pasta sounded simple but was done well and it was tasty too. The pictures aren't great because I was too hungry but the food was really good so we left extremely full and satisfied 😌 Swipe to see a close-up of the pizza 😍

Burrata Pizza Bruno's Burrata Pizza is one of their new specials on the menu and it was so delicious! Due to the different ingredients on the pizza to go with the creamy burrata, there was a myriad of flavours that went well together along with the crust which was slightly crispy at the edges.

Satisfying Italian Fare Came here for the 1-for-1 three-course set lunch deal. We tried the salad, French onion soup, breaded prawn aglio olio, ravioli with Parma ham and tiramisu. The portion size was generous and all the food tasted pretty good.

Food > Drinks Loved dining here with a great view of Singapore's night skyline, having been lucky enough to score prime seats right by the river. Unfortunately, service wasn't very attentive - perhaps because we were so near the waters, kind of down a step (& I am a small human), so it was difficult to see us? Ordered a pasta & pizza to share, & it was plenty to keep us full: The Orecchiette Salsiccia e Porcini ($31++) had an al dente chew to it, & I enjoyed the meatiness of the pork sausage ragout with the earthiness of the porcini mushrooms. I'd definitely order this again. The Zucchine e Gamberi ($32+) pizza fared well too, with juicy tiger prawns, san marzano tomatoes & zucchini for freshness, & lots of mozzarella cheese. The drinks menu here, while fairly standard, seems reliable & are at pretty ordinary prices for Singapore. Peroni beer in tap goes for $16++/pint. They have a Signature Cocktails menu - so I chose the Barrel Aged Chocolate Negroni ($22++) as it was the most interesting-sounding one... Unfortunately to my disappointment, it was poured from a bottle (lol I think I need to calibrate my expectations) & it also wasn't that amazing. Maybe a glass of wine, next time. Used Chope vouchers to get a slight discount off the final bill - drinks are eligible to make up minimum spend, much to my delight. 💳 Accepts credit cards 🌬 Air-conditioned seats available ☀️ Al fresco seats available 🖥 Accepts reservations - I used Chope 🎫 Chope vouchers available 💦 Water is not chargeable

Fresh Flavours Appetiser of Cozze alla Tarantina (mussels in tomato broth, 24++). Very light broth, reminiscent of summer. Bag a table next to the river and relax over a glass of wine. Good value if you can use a voucher or eatigo discount. The home made ravioli is tasty, and decent pizzas on the menu.

Perfect For Date Night By The River They have a set dinner menu ($58) comprising of a Burrata and Parma as starter. Seafood spaghetti as second course. and grilled ribeye as the third course. Finishing off with a tiramisu. It’s really value for money as even though it’s part of a set dinner the portions are not small. Since there were two of us we decided to get one set meal, one pizza and one calamari to share. All the dishes we had were well executed apart from the calamari which was pretty average imo. Total bill including a 30% discount from eatigo was $140 (including two glasses of wine)

Uni Angel Hair Pasta The best part of the Hakumai Bento ($58) in my opinion is this angel hair pasta topped with fresh melt in your mouth uni. The flavours of the uni really added an extra richness to the already flavoursome pasta which i really like.

Craving for sashimi! Pretty decent bento set from this Japanese restaurant in Tanjong Pagar, and they serve relatively affordable omakase sets as well.

Lives up to the ratings Everything here, including this chirashi don, was fresh, decently portioned and excellently presented. Prices werent too steep either, considering the quality. Really enjoyed my meal here, courtesy of my brother.

3/5 27 April 2025 Mentaiko Roll 3/5

Sushi Set at Sushi bar Sushi and sashimi were fresh and delicious. But the portion for sushi is quite small. Don is probably more value for money.

Chunky Rolls Of Happiness The soft shell crab salmon aburi rolls is a simply luxurious treat with the soft shell crab retaining its crunch, and the salmon mentaiko adding a nice finishing touch to it. ($18.90) Be prepared to queue for about 30 mins for seats here if you're walking in, but the wait is well worth it

Finally drop by to @houseofchirashisg after heard good review about their affordable fresh chirasi don. I ordered Salmon spicy ikura don. Sliced salmon torched served with spicy sauce ikura, tobiko, ebi and salmon skin. 📍House of Chirasi. 430 Upper Changi rd, #01-05

🍤 Small restaurant but ample space between tables. Fish was fresh and the sushi rice was unconventional 😬

PRETTIEST BARA DON ($18.80) I’VE EVER HAD do you see those flower petals🌸🌸 can i just say how THICK the sashimi cubes were omg. okay but they missed out my tamago wtf. & the rice was literally a THIN LAYER, enough to cover the bottom of the bowl

Solid omakase meal quality [ORCHARD, SINGAPORE] Hidden within a cosy side of Orchard Plaza where many izakayas are located at, lies @bistrodulepin where you will experience an explosion of french-japanese fusion flavours created by a Japanese chef. We had their Omakase Course ($100 per pax) and long story short, the cook here is insanely good and you really need to judge just that. Coming in, you will be greeted by a rather rustic vibe, with a single server rushing everywhere to fulfil orders and a seemingly nonchalant chef. Once you open up, you will come to realise that they are really friendly! There were about 8 courses in total, and we were increasingly impressed with each dish served. Don't be fooled by the plain saltine crackers served at the start; the other appetisers were so darn good, especially the chicken pate 🐔. All sashimi 🐟 served were extremely fresh, and the garlic miso sauce on the Sliced Yellowtail was amazing. Full of umami, I wish I had rice to mop them all up. As for cooked dishes, the Miso Cod 🐟 was incredible, so flaky, so fresh and they gave such a chunky piece. When you think things can't get any better, the Kagoshima Beef 🍖 topped the charts. Meaty, beefy, juicy and tender, nothing beats having this with just wasabi. As there aren't many carbs, do expect to be about 70-80% full. I was thankful that the chef gave me more than one scoop of their delicious ice cream & sorbet! (don't think they offer this all the time, so I wouldn't bet on it) Overall, the food & quality of the dishes is absolutely lovely and I will definitely come back again. I do see people complaining on Google about the service and how the server is doubling up as the line cook, but I feel like they are trying their best with the manpower crunch they are having. I feel like only a certain group of people who appreciate this will come back, no wonder why 70% of customers that night were regulars 😁

Scallop w/ Uni $18 The cramped and cosy 13-seater interior reminded me of neighbourhood sake bars in Tokyo, but the less than ideal air conditioning and heat from the kitchen certainly didn't make for comfortable dining. Luckily the carafes of cold sake went someway in providing relief from the warmth. Food here is tasty in general but otherwise very average. We enjoyed the scallops and asparagus bathed in a seafood-y cream sauce, as well as the cheap $3 otoshis(compulsory appetisers) of potato salad, liver pate, bread and baby anchovies. I would feel more inclined to return if the air conditioning situation was improved. Taste: 3.5/5

This needs no introduction. Lunch Bara-Chirashi at @bistrodulepin is perhaps the highlight of any weekday soirée on Orchard Road. At $14 a bowl, I am hard pressed to find a similar quality, hearty meal than this one; comes with a miso prawn soup.

Small Sea Urchin Rice Bowl Uni on uni! This was the last course and it is also the reason why I would recommend going for the 18-Course Sea Urchin Menu. We get a small rice bowl of uni mixed with Japanese rice, topped with uni pieces, ikura and a dollop of wasabi. I am already salivating just by looking at what goes into the rice bowl. Every single rice grain is coated with creamy uni and with the ikura bursting in my mouth with every bite, it is just packed with umami goodness. The meal ended with a light and refreshing bowl of miso soup to cleanse our palate. \\ 18-Course Sea Urchin Menu (3/3) 》$128

Assorted & Premium Sushi (12 Pcs) One of the perks of omakase is the firsthand experience we get sitting at the bar counter and relishing the most authentic Japanese dining experience. We get to observe the chef as he prepares individual pieces of sushi right before us. It reminds me of my omakase experience at one of the sushi bars at Tsukiji fish market. There were 2 chefs and each of the chefs would handle 4 guests which gave a very personal touch. The chef would only serve the next course when we are done with the previous. The fishes were oh-so-fresh and solid! Each course was paired so well with different sauces that nothing tasted similar throughout the whole course. My 12-Course Sushi is as follows - Hirame Flat Fish - Squid - Prawn - Sea Bream - Japanese Groupa - Golden Threadfin Bream (Not in Picture) - Golden Eye Snapper (Not in Picture) - Chutoro - Otoro with Soy Sauce Foam (Not in Picture) - Hototo (Not in Picture) - Horse Mackeral (Aji) - Sea Urchin \\ 18-Course Sea Urchin Menu (2/3) 》$128

18-Course Menu (Starters) This is one of the most affordable and reasonably priced omakase in town. It is an 8 seater restaurant hence it is not possible to get a seat without a reservation. Their omakase is priced at $98 or $128 which includes sea urchin. I thought it would be worth diving straight into their sea urchin menu since it isn't exactly easy to reserve a seat. Reservations are open 30 days in advance. For starters, we had the Hijiki seaweed salad seasoned with soya sauce and cooking sake. It has a combination of slightly salty, sweet and savoury flavours which serves as a refreshing appetiser. Next, we have salt-sprinkled edamame served warm, followed by onsen tamago with truffle soy sauce. The truffle onsen egg comes with a soft runny yolk, accompanied by bursting flavours of ikura and truffle aroma. Towards the end of the meal (before the rice bowl), we were served a crab meat handroll wrapped in seaweed and rice. It was sweet, simple and delicious! \\ 18-Course Sea Urchin Menu (1/3) 》$128
