Sweetcorn fritters from Super Loco – hot smoked salmon, jalapeño, lime creme, jicama chilli salsa.

Seared & Sashimi Salmon Don from Teppei Syokudo. Whilst the marinated sashimi salmon felt reassuringly familiar, the seared salmon unflinchingly remained true to his raw self, despite society and the menu requiring him to be aburi. 3.6/5 Teppei Syokudo 391 Orchard Road #B2 Takashimaya Food Hall, Ngee Ann City Singapore…
Ocean’s Thirteen from Rise & Grind Coffee Co. – smoked salmon, poached eggs, asparagus, brioche toast, beetroot yogurt and yuzu hollandaise sauce.

They were buttery, salty and slightly crispy on the outside. The twirly pig meat was an appealing mix of chewy and crispy,…
