All in all, we were most impressed with the quality of food we savoured, as well as the attentive + friendly service. I must say Chef Taiga’s nigiri sushi were a notch above the rest in the list of omakase restaurants I tried so far.

In Chef Taiga’s signature auction-grade Uni Handroll, two types of premium seasonal sea urchin are generously topped on rice and cradled by A-grade jet black nori sheets. Seriously, DA BEST I ever had! Your date💕 will definitely be so impressed…

For the complete Taiga experience, there’s a discerning sake list curated to pair perfectly with your omakase. Each one has been carefully selected by Taiga’s in-house Sake Sommelier to bring you on a sake adventure, off the beaten path.

@wokeramensg is a love story between Japan’s iconic ramen and Singapore’s favourite wok hei. The noodles are first stir-fried in seasoned woks that singe them just right for that prized wok hei before being doused and served in hearty bowls of creamy chicken collagen and sweet prawn broths. The result is a SHIOK combination of smoke, depth and umami that will leave you craving for more!

RAMEN
👉Woke’s Chicken Chashu Collagen Ramen - SGD13.90
👉Prawn Paste Collagen Ramen - SGD14.90
👉Woke’s Prawn Paste Ramen - SGD14.90
👉Seafood Mix Prawn Ramen - SGD18.90
❗️Top up SGD5.50 to complete your meal with a choice of side & drink

SIDES
👉WOKE Gyoza - SGD4.50
👉Five Spice Beancurd - SGD3.50
👉Hot & Spicy Dumpling - SGD5.50
👉Golden Beancurd Skin - SGD3.50
👉Mentaiko Fries - SGD4.50
👉Chicken Karaage - SGD4.50
👉Onion Oil Wok Hei Dry Ramen - SGD8.90

Both types of ramen were great and tasty! IMO, I feel their Chicken Collagen Ramen had a more prominent wok hei aroma compared to the Prawn Ramen. The juicy grilled chicken chashu topping was surprisingly impressive too! Having tried all their side dishes, I’d recommend getting their WOKE Gyoza & Golden Beancurd Skin.

Priced at SGD7.50, you can enjoy 3 pieces of chicken, buttery garlic rice, fries and coleslaw. Not exactly the most affordable in a coffeeshop setting, but I guess it’s worth trying if it’s your first time. The sweetish buttermilk powder is so addictive omg…

Clinched the SG Food Masters awards for 3 consecutive years from 2020 to 2022!

Established since 2003, @littlelazylizardsg is a quaint bistro bar that dishes out Western cuisine at relatively pocket-friendly prices! Their award-winning signature dishes include Rack of Pork, St. Louis BBQ Pork Ribs & Crabby Pesto Pasta!

Here’s what we enjoyed that night…
👉Rack of Pork - SGD31.80
duroc pork rack with cream peppercorn sauce, truffled mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms & garlic confit
👉Classic Ribeye - SGD31.80
pan-seared ribeye with peppercorn sauce, straight-cut fries & mesclun salad
👉Burrata (NEW) - SGD18.80
🍹Pina Colada - SGD13.80
🍹Nessie - SGD9.80

Hands down, the best Rack of Pork I’ve ever had, so tender and juicy! You must try it for yourself… As for the 2nd main course, the Classic Ribeye was done medium-rare and boasted a nice pink centre.

Their fresh & creamy burrata paired really well with the crispy butter toast and poached apple cubes. A great appetiser for sharing!

Serving a wide array of Donburis and Premium Omakase, @gyosensg is helmed by 2 chefs with over 30 years of experience each; One was previously from Chirashi King Kong and the other from House of Chirashi! That explains the slight similarity in plating, as well as the delicious earthy mushroom rice specially unique to @gyosensg!

Here’s what we enjoyed…
👉Salmon Mentai Don - SGD21.90
👉Chirashi Don - SGD28.90
👉Anago Chawanmushi
👉Truffle Edamame
👉Yuzu & Goma Ice Cream
👉SaSa Noha
Japanese Mochi w Hokkaido Cream Custard, wrapped in bamboo leaves

Affordably priced, all the Donburis here are served with a bed of their house-special mushroom rice and guess what? You can enjoy this in 2 ways! Eat the mushroom rice on its own first before mixing all the condiments at the side together for another new flavour explosion. Highly recommend getting their Salmon Mentai Don if it’s your first time visiting. Pretty sure this won’t be the last time here…

For the complete experience with desserts, go for their SaSa Noha which was surprisingly impressive, though I’ve to admit it was quite pricey.

Using only exquisite fresh ingredients without additional water, @fu_xiao_xian can transport you to Yunnan in 5 minutes with their speciality pressure-steamed fish! Advocating as a much healthier option for seafood/hotpot lovers, the soups here are trans-fat-free, sugar-free and have no MSG, preservatives or artificial flavourings.

Here’s what we had for dinner...
👉Secret Recipe Soup w Qingjiang Fish - SGD68
👉Assorted Mushrooms - SGD14.80
👉Handmade Minced Prawn - SGD14.80
👉Sliced Fresh Beef w Raw Egg - SGD14.80
👉Yunnan Rose Flower Pastry Cake - SGD4.80
👉Fried Tofu Skin - SGD6.80

It’s highly recommended to drink the soup first in its original form and enjoy the tender fish meat before finally adding your favourite hotpot ingredients. All in all, it was a great hearty experience for both of us! The only thing I won’t recommend is ordering their Fried Tofu Skin...
