Fabulous hotpot with fresh ingredients

Tsukada Nojo is constantly packed with people flocking here for the famed Bijin Nabe collagen hot pot ($25/pax, min 2 pax). This "Beauty Pot" contains vegetables, seafood, and chicken in a collagen-rich chicken soup. This incredibly flavorful soup is made from the high-quality Jidori chickens from Japan. Don't be alarmed by the bowl of silky white collagen pudding that arrives, simply watch it melt into the broth and impart its goodness. Expect fantastic service and a seriously tasty soup that you can't stop drinking. This meal will leave you feeling nourished and fully satisfied, just be prepared to put your name down for dinner early!

Brunch in this brick-walled space is always a lovely affair, from the ambience to the well-executed food. Favourites include the Flan ($23), pork cheek confit with sauteed mushrooms, a perfectly poached egg, and a mountain of rocket sitting in a light pastry shell. The truffle fries are so delightful, it's worth popping by anytime you're in the neighborhood! Finish off with their decadent waffles. Photo by Jennifer Yeo
