Our visit to Le Bistrot du Sommelier began as a mission to try tête de veau, a dish that we learned was rarely available as a special. Fortunately, this rustic French bistro offers a number of other dishes that were all enjoyable, making a second (or many more) visit a certainty. Since it was …
G and I have added Torisho to “our must try for dinner” list due to our recent lunch experience there. While we both have a fondness of Kazu Sumiyaki for our grilled food needs, it’s always good to have more options. And Torisho is no stranger to quality; it’s the sibling restaurant of Aoki (which …
The two defining features of Sky on 57 are the panoramic views from atop the Marina Bay Sands, and its executive chef, regional celebrity, Justin Quek. While the rest of the Skypark is off limits to restaurant patrons, the views available from the restaurant are still quite magnificent. There is an outdoor patio where you …
On an impromptu sibling double-date the other night, we ended up trying this newish “truffle-themed” restaurant. Cousin S, a “pig” with a talent for sniffing out worthwhile dining, had said that the truffle pastas here were a must try. Since the four of us all love truffles, we were eager to sniff up as much …
G had a craving for a croque-madame and suggested that we eat at Hediard, a cafe and fine foods boutique that feels unabashedly old world with its dark interior and reserved upscale decor. It was already 2pm by the time we sat down, and the lunch rush (if there was one) was well over. Other …
We recently ate at Kazu Sumi-yaki with our favorite foodie cousins, S & L, and were pleasantly surprised that while the crowds have gotten bigger, the overall quality was still worth the wait and the price. For grilled meat-on-a-stick cravings, this is still the place to go in Singapore. Located in sketchy Cuppage plaza (home …
Yakiniku Yazawa is a guilty pleasure that we secretly indulge in every few months. It’s always the same ritual, a tacit nod of approval from the wife, followed by the anticipatory drive over to Mohammed Sultan, with a hurried stroll into the best yakiniku restaurant on the island. Spur of the moment visits have become …
Long before Iron Chef aired its tofu-themed battle, Sasanoyuki had already been serving tofu-based meals for a few hundred years (open since 1691). While the Iron Chefs and challengers typically create 4 or 5 dishes based on the theme ingredient, this restaurant delivers at least 9, that’s right 9, dishes where tofu is the star. While …
Tucked away on a side-street at the northern edge of Tokyo is a gem of an yakiniku restaurant, Sutamina-En (Stamina Garden). We were initially hesitant to make a trip so out of the way, despite the strong recommendation of a well-traveled foodie couple. But, since we were on a foodcation and Japanese wagyu is one …
4 days are simply not enough time to eat your way through Tokyo. This is a city that boasts the most Michelin starred restaurants in the world (not that we could afford to eat at any of them). The places that we did visit were all memorable and we highly recommend to fellow foodies. Below …
