Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

超容易脱骨，又非常入味，辣得超爽

I was looking forward to visiting. A full-service non-chain Viet restaurant in Singapore is practically non-existent. The menu is really comprehensive and the food was generally good.

Chicken cutlet, hae bee hiam, pumpkin. Pity I waited too long and the chicken became soggy.

Finally had the chance to have dinner with my partner at Ingleside. From the start, the service was fantastic. We were offered a cold towel – much-appreciated in Singapore’s heat and the staff were attentive and friendly, explaining the menu, and our orders, without ever being intrusive.

For starters, we had the sourdough bread. It was decent, nothing too special but the real star was the fermented miso butter. Salty, slightly sour, full of complex umami flavours, it elevated the dish and paired beautifully with the bread.

We also had the Hokkaido scallop. The lacto-fermented tomato dressing and pickled green apples brought a refreshing acidity that perfectly balanced and enhanced the scallop’s natural sweetness and freshness – a great way to whet the appetite.

Then came the 14-day dry-aged Iberico Chuletero, which honestly really really surprised me. The meat had a deep, earthy nuttiness, and the pairing with Marsala sauce, potato skin, and onion purée went so well together. It had a nice comforting homely feel, but yet elevated to fine dining standards with it complex flavours.

But the highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Wagyu Picanha. Marinated in shio koji and cooked to a perfect medium rare. This dish was special. The marinade gave it a slightly sweet, salty, earthy, floral flavour and so much more that’s hard to put into words. It was so complex, unique, and simply delicious. You just have to try it to understand.

Verdict:
If you love bold, and unique flavours with fermented elements, Ingleside is a must-try at least once. A truly special dining experience.

Dinner at Ingleside was a lovely experience!

We started with fresh sourdough bread served with fermented miso butter. The butter was rich and full of umami, pairing perfectly with the soft, warm bread—an excellent start that set high expectations for the rest of the meal.

For starters, we had the Hokkaido scallops, which turned out to be one of my favourites. Cured in kombu and topped with finger lime and a lacto-fermented tomato dressing, it was bright and so refreshing!

Then came the mains: the Tajima Wagyu Picanha and the Lampiño Ibérico Chuletero. My partner and I especially loved the shio koji marinade on the Picanha. It made the beef incredibly tender with a subtle sweetness. Paired with banana shallots and a touch of salt, the sweet and savoury flavours melded beautifully in every bite.

That said, the star of the night for me had to be the Ibérico pork. Dry-aged and topped with a marsala sauce, the dish exceeded expectations. The balance of flavours was unexpectedly perfect, and the marsala sauce truly won me over.

Service throughout the night was fantastic. Though we sat at the bar counter, the staff were thoughtful—giving us space to enjoy the evening while knowing just when to step in to explain each dish.

I really appreciated how Ingleside showcases fermentation, dry aging, and woodfire techniques without being over the top. Every dish felt intentional and well-executed. I’d love to come back to try more of what they have to offer :)

one of the best dining experiences we’ve had thus far! the ambience, food and service combined were top notch. both the korean bbq (pork set) and cooked food options were ordered were amazing. this is unlike your usual kbbq - it’s an elevated experience where the smoke, smell doesn’t overwhelm your dining experience. it’s hard for us to pick a favourite but do try the potato cheese jeon! bbq set comes with the soup as well, which tastes authentic and it’s packed full of ingredients.

a great place for occasions; we’ll be back! (we did not try their alcohol options but it looks good too!)

Cod dumplings in flavourful broth. Like it so much! 👏👏👏

Unique dim sums - white turnip rolls very delicate, crisp n tasty! 👏👏👏

Dining has become an experience. Not only the food is great but the dinner was wholesome. Love the vibe of the place too. Will recommend the cold noodles and the cheese potato jeon 100%! Very suitable for a special occasion or a catch up with a special one.
