To Nom List

Sunday Brunch will be back in Nov during Festive period but how they work their Parrilla esp the Prawns, juicy, fresh, tasty & nicely grilled!!

Saint Pierre is one of the top French restaurants in Singapore for all the right reasons. There is a strong emphasis on organic, wholesome produce coupled with top-notch service and a calming waterfront view (it’s vegetarian friendly too). Go for the Discovery menu at $148 per head, and tuck into a nine-course extravaganza featuring delectable dishes like seared scallops with black truffle essence and cauliflower mousse, herb crusted langoustine, and charred joshgyu beef sirloin. Interested in a completely different dining experience? Mark April Fool’s and Halloween on your calendars and try to snag one of the limited seats to sample chef Emmanuel Stroobant’s creative dinner menus for said occasions – think edible eye balls and a dessert called “You see, the brain itself feels no pain, if that concerns you”…

This fairly new Japanese restaurant in Capitol Piazza will make you forget all these chirashi bowls with their OKAMOCHI BOX ($45) — a Japanese-style 'tingkat' that was commonplace in Japan during the Edo period. You'll be amazed as the server slides the front panel of wooden box to reveal three levels of awesomeness. The first drawer reveals a sprawling landscape of barachirashi — huge chunks of fish, prawn, tamago and ikura atop pearly rice, while the second tier contains side dishes including grilled chicken and salad. At the bottom, you’ll find sheets of seaweed, makisu (bamboo mat), a rice paddle, plus the usual condiments, everything you need for some hands-on fun! This generous portion makes it very value-for-money, and you can share this with a friend along with another dish. Ryu's also boasts fantastic sakes, and is a lovely, elegant spot that shouldn't be missed.

With three live stations — teppanyaki, sushi and robatayaki — it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the vast selection offered in Mikuni’s menu. While the excellent Unagi Don ($48) and superb Kagoshima Wagyu Beef Don ($48, comes with a battered crispy egg!) are understandable default options for most, save the Mikuni Chirashi ($90) to pamper yourself or someone you're dying to impress. You might think for a second that you were given a sashimi platter instead, cos the mound of rice is hidden underneath decadent slices of salmon, tuna belly, prawn, uni, tamago and a spoonful of ikura. Pricey? Yes, but so worth it!

Ginza Kuroson launches its second outlet in Takashimaya, and lovers of Japanese food need to check it out immediately! Apart from the impressive space – there is a seafood display, robatayaki counter and even a teppanyaki room – Ginza Kuroson offers a wide (and often uncommon) range of fresh, high-quality Japanese fare in a classy setting at a very accessible price point. Their lunch sets are highly value-for-money, and you should go for the Ryoshi Gokai Nagekomi Don ($22) or the Tempura Don ($26). If you like sushi, don't miss the exquisite-looking Temari Sushi Set ($28). If you happen to be here at a quieter hour, try your luck and ask for one of their private rooms (no additional charge) and instantly feel like an atas tai-tai.

Brunch in the West at a place with food of East and West influence .

I won't mind returning to this place if not for the distance away from home.

Bucatini Grilled Prawns Pasta: The prawns are really huge and fresh. Pasta is fragrant with a tinge of garlic and pepper taste. I will prefer a thinner choice of pasta actually (personal preference) in order to lessen that 'alkaline' taste .

Fried Wings: The wings are pretty yummy. The batter is nice and the chicken is really tender and moist. I would have liked it more if the meat inside is more seasoned or flavored. But overall, it is still yums!

Joining the throng of hip eateries along Tras Street, May May offers modern Asian-inspired Western cuisine in a sophisticated, clean setting. The Asian influences across the menu are diverse, with the use of ingredients ranging from kaffir lime and lemongrass to masala and shiso. The well-executed fusion of flavours lead to unexpected and often delectable results. The slow-cooked squid with poached pear, ginger, pistachio and lobster rice noodles with lemongrass, kaffir lime and coconut broth is stunning, and highly recommended. You also want to check out their value-for-money lunch sets -- choose from chicken, cod or pork belly rice bowls, all of which come with assorted vegetables and half an egg!

Sprucing up the dining scene in the Buona Vista area is Paddy Hills, a beautiful space that should be high up on your list of places to visit. The menu is diverse and refreshing, with a fusion of several cuisines. A feast for the eyes, the Berry Ricotta Hotcake ($19) is served with mascarpone, blueberry sugar and fresh berries, inspired by Melbourne's Top Paddock. A crisp exterior gives in to a fluffy interior tinged with maple syrup — a must-order dish that tastes a lot more cake-like than the usual hotcakes. The Japanese-inspired Squid Ink Tagliatalle ($23) features tobiko, ikura, mentaiko, puffed rice, and seared scallops. Also order the Cauliflower Fritters ($12) served with masala yogurt, and the Toasted Spicy Rice Cakes ($15) with gochujang mayo to snack on. Besides the usual coffee and tea, they have cocktails, ciders and wines as well.

At @kinsasushi HillV2 Not exaggerating, this was one of the best beef bowl I had. The glistering slices were luxurious with their marbling, perfectly cut, tender and flavourful that would leave traces of happiness in your mouth and belly.

Craving 'em honey wings, one of the best wings around!

From as little as S$148++, you may feast like a king on Saint Pierre’s 10-course omakase menu that features Emmanuel Stroobant’s Japanese-inflected modern French cuisine – think petite portion of lobster bisque or the dish of yuzu-scented prawn tartare crowned with a tongue of uni. Another bonus of dining here is the priceless view of luxury yacht docked at the nearby quay.
