This savoury tapas is ideal as an opening act and plays well with sake. One of my must-haves when I hit the joint; it can be really addictive as your bite into your first morsel of meat. Awesome stuff!
By the guys behind The Flying Squirrel comes this cosy Japanese tapas bar cum omakase joint. Squirrelled away (haha) on a second floor shophouse in Telok Ayer (they're right above Park Bench Deli), the classy space serves up amazingly tasty moreish munchies that would go fabulously with their well-curated menu of sake (from $65 a carafe) and whisky (from $19 a glass). The intimate setting and soft lighting make it perfect for a romantic date too. We like that the tapas menu is compact and simple. Settle in by the bar and order the Parmesan Chicken ($10) — the bite-sized pieces of deep-fried karaage are topped generously with shaved parmesan, resulting in an umami bomb in every mouthful. The Soft Shell Crab ($15) and Japanese Calamari ($13) are simple, but hit the spot. For something more substantial, try the rice bowls — both the Bara Chirashi ($25) and Grilled Unagi Rice ($24) are very tasty and generous on the protein.
Avg price: $50 per person with drinks

I can never get enough of this. Generous Parmesan on top of succulent fried chicken. Doesn't get more sinful than this but it's worth it. The morsels of chicken were tender and moist and well marinated on the outside. #japanesefood #tfsprivateworks #burpple #burpplesg #sgdining
