Nami – Review of New Japanese Restaurant in Shangri-la Singapore (With Menu)

June 24, 2017 by Bino Leave a Comment

It had been a while since I last made a visit to Shangri-la Singapore. In a span of a few months, the hotel revamped their Tower Wing, refreshed the lobby and is in the midst of launching a few new food concepts. One of them is Nami, the fine dining Japanese restaurant which opened only on the 31st May 2017.

During my latest visit to the luxury hotel, I went to try the delights of Nami. It has received quite a few great reviews since it opened and I was not disappointed when I went to try it out for myself. The food, put simply, was a pleasure from start to finish.

Jade Restaurant at Fullerton Hotel Singapore – Renovation and Refocused Culinary Concept

May 19, 2017 by Bino 1 Comment

Jade Restaurant at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore is quite simply one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Singapore. The food is fantastic and the value excellent – especially during their massively popular weekend dimsum brunch. This is one of my go-to places whenever I am craving for fine Chinese cuisine without having to break the bank.

The restaurant’s interiors were actually revamped recently. The refreshed look is now a lot brighter with a cool green hue that is very much fitting to its name and a motif featuring nine local bird species – a theme that was inspired from Executive Chef Leong’s own dabbling into the fine arts. Other than this, the overhead lantern lighting and Low Ming Dragon trees create a very inviting vibe.

May 16, 2017 by Bino Leave a Comment

Jiang-Nan Chun is the Chinese restaurant housed in the second level of the Four Seasons Hotel Singapore. The venue reopened in 2016 after extensive renovation and has garnered very good reviews for its signature dishes – particularly the Peking Duck which is roasted over a wood-fired oven. I visited Jiang-Nan Chun recently, my first time in the award-winning restaurant, due to the launch of a new 6-course seasonal menu which features some exquisite ingredients which are available or at their best at this time of the year.

Birds of a Feather New Menu: Western Cuisine With Sichuan Influence in Amoy Street

April 16, 2017 by Bino Leave a Comment

Birds of a Feather opened in October 2016 in Amoy Street to favorable reviews among food critics. It offered western cuisine with a distinctly Sichuan influence – a concept which was a novel one even in a foodie haven such as Singapore. Several social and print media features over the past few months certainly piqued my interest but I never got to try it until recently, when I was invited down for a media tasting of the venue’s new menu.

The new food offerings were unveiled to the public on the 6^th of April and I had the opportunity to check out a few of the new dishes that same day. I was impressed. The favorable reviews surrounding Birds of a Feather are certainly not unwarranted.

April 6, 2017 by Bino Leave a Comment

Last 5th of April 2017, the Ukrainian Embassy in Singapore hosted a dinner reception in The Fullerton Hotel featuring delightful Ukrainian cuisine as part of the World Gourmet Summit. As with a gala event late last year, Masterchef Iurii Kovryzhenko from the Vintage Boutique Hotel in Lviv flew to the Lion City to delight guests with his creative interpretation of Ukrainian gastronomy – a cuisine which is rarely sampled in this part of the world. Since taking office in early 2016 as Ambassador of Ukraine in Singapore, His Excellency, Mr. Dmytro Senik has taken great strides to raise awareness about Ukraine in the Singapore market as a destination for tourism and investment.

Pacific Marketplace at Pan Pacific Singapore – Refreshed Menu Featuring World Cuisines

April 2, 2017 by Bino Leave a Comment

Pacific Marketplace, the gourmet grocery and cafe at Pan Pacific Singapore, has recently revamped its menu to showcase dishes from all over the world. I personally have fond memories of the venue. As it is situated near my workplace, I come here from time to time for lunch. Prices are reasonable (even more so with Entertainer app) and I particularly love the Asian delights such as the Roasted Duck Curry and Wagyu Beef Pho.

I was recently invited to a media tasting in order to sample the beefed up menu (no pun intended). While the previous menu had a strong focus on Asian dishes, the revamp has seen a host of new sandwiches and salads. Here are the ones I tried:

Helmed by Chef Yoshiyuki who spent seven years as personal chef to diplomatic missions in San Francisco and Singapore, the eponymous Kaiseki Yoshiyuki is a kaiseki restaurant in Forum Shopping Mall in Orchard Road that focuses on seasonal menus based on what it available at Tsukiji market in Tokyo.

One of the quirks about the restaurant is that all staff are banned from using peelers. Instead, the kitchen crew is made to only use knives in order to make sure each edible component including the thin and evenly sliced cucumber or daikon twirls, are knife-sliced by the chefs.
