Whilst my pictures don't do justice to Chef Makoto’s intricate creations, I have to document the intriguing and scrumptious omakase experience at Ami Patisserie. Available at the 8-seater Tsudoi private dining room, the Chef’s Table Discovery Experience (worth every penny) would set you back by $118++ per person.

To start, the 2-bite Piedmont Hazelnut Financier was more than lovely - a good sign of what is to come with a glorious balance of butteriness and plenty of roasted nuttiness with the aromatic hazelnut shaving on the top. Then came the bread course with butter and amazing sourdough - don’t you dare skip on the exquisite Iwa Nori Escargot Bun which dreams are made of.

Next, a decadent number with his signature craqueline choux which came crisp, crumbly, and savoury. Piped a la minute, the Japanese egg mayo was bangin’ not sure what is in it exactly but yums. Embellished with crème fraîche, Schrenckii caviar (all that briny flavour without being salty), hanaho and Sudachi zest (that refreshing tang was chef’s kiss).

Followed closely behind was the beautiful Shizuoka Tomato Tartelette which came at the perfect time to somewhat refresh the palette. Think sweet Japanese Amela tomato with umami cheese flavour, and a herbaceous touch from the basil, all on one sugar cookie dough base. A favourite. After which, a rich Japanese Uni Brioche arrived with cake-like textured brown butter bread, lime cream, finger lime pulp and vibrant sea urchin.

Deep fried and then grilled on the charcoal, the Nasu Brulee was complete with miso caramel and miso ice cream. Perfectly sweet and savoury - a good introductory dish for eggplant haters. The deceptively simple La France Pear was nicely done too with pear sauce, chamomile mint gelee, yuzu and pear granita.

A fun take on tiramisu, the Marble Dark Chocolate was so delightful as well - not too boozy or rich with a wonderful medley of textures; the Chef can do no wrong. And right before we end the pastry-led tasting menu with a flakey wedge of Kumquat Pineapple Pie, the Ichigo Milk allowed the sweet juicy fruit to shine.

With black truffle chicken dumplings & wolfberries

The sweetness from wolfberries complimented the light herbal silken hen consommé; though the black truffle chicken dumpling was abit of a letdown

This was super flavourful. Perhaps one of the better lobster bisque I had

Smallest portion

The fish dumpling has a very savoury flossed meat texture, probably has dried fish inside. Good

Fishball is curd like, homemade and huge but otherwise nothing special

Soup sucks

I don't think it's rlly impressive if you've had good fishballs elsewhere, at least not as much as its mich rec may suggest

Rlly rlly good.

Strong clean flavour and the toppings were all great, esp the fresh veggies

This is a place that pays attention to the details of the food. The difference between fake atas places and actl refined Japanese place is honestly very easy to tell. When even the simplest things like the soups and salads are done well, you can be assured they know their stuff.

And the gyu bar makes the cut, it's one of those places.
