The must-orders (if any): Bara Chirashi Don, Seasonal Chirashi Dons Summary: One of the breakout stars of 2016 thanks to its ridiculously photogenic and value-for-money marinated bara chirashi don, Sushiro has gone on to rapidly expand from its…
Spicy Tuna Don from The Horse’s Mouth. The smooth, gently numbing sauce wraps its coquettishly spicy feather boa around the contours of the cool, clean minced tuna – and indeed, the contours of your inner lips – with professional pleasure strictly on its agenda. 4/5 The Horse’s Mouth 583 Orchard…
Molten Wings (3pcs) from the newly-opened The Rawr Kitchen, situated deep in the industrial boondocks within The Splendour at Bukit Batok Crescent. Their Facebook page and the menu itself cautions and disclaims the imminent danger involved in taking on these fiery muthas, and after just two bites I can assure…
