Situated next to the buzzy night-time drink-laxing destination Cuppage Terrace behind The Centrepoint, and minutes away from Somerset MRT station and its various surrounding malls, Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre offers an affordable staycation experience right in the heart of Orchard Road, giving you access to endless nearby shopping…
Just thinking about this Mixed Tendon (prawn, dory fish, onsen egg and vegetables on Japanese rice served with miso soup and chawanmushi) that I had forty-two ministries ago at Tensho, a tempura concept which launches today at The Centrepoint. For $14.90, you get a satisfyingly portioned and gently crispy tempura…
Warabi Mochi from Zipang Japanese Dining Bar. (Damn, this was warm and legit.) Zipang Japanese Dining Bar 28 Cavenagh Road #01-05 Singapore 229635
Chirashi Don from the newly-opened Zipang Japanese Dining Bar along Cavanagh Road behind Concorde Hotel. Essentially Teppei-style but here salt level-perfect marinated sashimi chunks atop fluffy and comfortingly warm rice, with the addition of whitebait adding chewy bitterness and the sashimi being so remarkably fresh that its innate fishly sensuality…
Just thinking about this Stir-Fried Surume Squid and Leek in Squid Liver Sauce that I had sixty-nine zippyzipengs ago at Zipang Japanese Dining Bar, a new concept launching behind Concorde Hotel.

Ugly Spicy Herb Chicken from What’s This Korean Restaurant. Essentially your commercially competent spicy chicken from Jollibee, KFC or similar, coated in a nutty, chee cheong fun-esque sweet sauce. 3.6/5 What’s This Korean Restaurant 87 Killiney Road Singapore 239533
Spicy Roast Chicken Stew (2 pax, $48) from What’s This, a new Korean concept along Killiney Road. The stew was sweet and audaciously, scalp-itchingly incendiary, whilst elsewhere the minus-sized chicken parts likely grew up idolising Olsen twin-esque stick figure and petite role models. 3.7/5 What’s This Korean Restaurant 87 Killiney…
Crab Broth Ramen with Rich Soup from Keisuke Kani King. The chashu slices had the stale tiredness of a Kebun Baru Primary School boy after TAF club training, while the broth was a more plebeian, bespectacled version of the superiorly intense and oceanic lobster broth elsewhere. 3.5/5 Keisuke Kani King…
Beef Steak & Pork Belly Shio Kouji from Ootoya Japanese Restaurant (Singapore). Essentially two Manhunt-esque hunks topless-wrestling energetically in a catwalk battle of who is the juicier, chewier, saltier, orally pleasing stud. In the primarily oceanic landscape in which they showdown, the quality of the earthly creatures surprises. 3.8/5 This…
