The UTW (“Under Ten Words”): Grilled fish in a variety of (spicy) Sichuan sauces. The must-orders (if any): Cod, Steamboat Bean Base. Summary: Launching at the basement of Suntec City, the curiously school-themed Sichuan Kungfu Fish Singapore offers a fairly straightforward concept – choose from a variety of fish and seafood…
Steamed Cod stuffed with Mushrooms and Water Chestnuts in Paper Roll from Jiang-Nan Chun. Essentially a light, juice-cleansed and yoga-performing deconstructed Chinese soya glace fish bear-hugged by a chewy, fleshy Vietnamese rice paper roll creature. 3.9/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Jiang-Nan Chun.

Roasted cod and soba noodle salad from Populus – roasted cod loin, soba noodles, marinated mushrooms, lightly pickled vegetables, broad beans, lime and sesame dressing. Whilst the saltily-skinned cod may have gone a tad overboard in its vain efforts to achieve a Kim Kardashian-esque bronze, the soba noodles were intriguingly…

Miso cod and ulam onigiri at CreatureS – oven-roasted miso cod with belachan assam herb rice balls.

Elsewhere, the teeth-infatuated sesame tuile was drafted in for some fragrant Oriental…
