Yes, Holy Cow! That’s the exclamation when you sink into this signature maki roll at Akira Back which has a tempura ebi core, fluffy light rice and aburi sliced wagyu beef lovingly tender wrapping round it. The kimchi purée and fried garlic slice brings it all together so nicely and so true to its Korean fusion origins.

Yes, it’s one of those instant chicken wings that you can grab a bag off the supermarket. But what Kiisu did was a complete re-engineering. The wings are re-battered, re-seasoned with spice and re-drizzled with sweet chilli, re-topping with sukura-ebi and cabe. What’s not to love!

This plate of fried rice sets the bar for our expectations at this new F&B establishment on 2nd floor of Square2. Really nice wok hei and spicy flavour... what really wets our appetite is the presentation of this dish, all that sakura ebi, dried chilli worked up the overall appeal and giving a new definition to tall, dark and fragrant!

The crab cake is so fresh I could just have it on it’s own. That’s not to say the tomato aioli is what I would pass. The cheat is there is only one egg-benny. But who cares when it comes with their signature “way for too good” bacon strips.

Both served in the fried option. The “Peach” Kueh gets its name from its heart shaped 💜, otherwise known as “Png Kueh” 飯粿 because of the glutinous rice filings. Served steamed or lightly pan fried. The other item is a pan fried carrot cake, drizzle on the black sweet sauce and chilli, the feeling of nostalgia strikes back!

Austrian skin tone white wine. Natural of course

Who says only Asians served their chicken with their feet!
