We will cut to the chase – let’s dive in!
Restaurant: Sumiya Charcoal Grill Izakaya
Location: Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Road #12-02, Singapore 238896
This dish made me raise a brow. For a minute the place felt like your regular steakhouse, except that instead of serving a mean steak, they serve a shapely tuna. The best parts of the tuna lies in the Chutoro (middle fat) and the Toro (fatty tuna) but as a suggestion, always start with Akami (lean meat) so that you would be able to slowly savor the heightened quality as you proceed to the next part of the meat.

Restaurant: Takumi Kacyo
Location: 2 Keppel Bay Vista, #02-01, Marina at Keppel Bay, Singapore 098382
I cannot stress enough on this – you have to try Takumi Kacyo’s grilled cod fish. This dish is wonderfully fresh and intensely seasoned. The skin of the fish was cripsy and salty, while the flesh was soft and delectable. The waiter recommends a dash of lemon but I could not bring myself to even slightly alter the fish’s original taste – it truly is that fantastic by itself. Remember to scoop out the bits under the fin!

Restaurant: SHER
Location: 25 Sembawang Road, Singapore 779079
SHER spun a surprise on the usual North Indian food. High up on my recommendations was the grilled Chicken Shashlik. Perhaps it was because it came after the malasa chicken, but it is no fight for the main course. The grilled components of the dish worked fine, even though the chicken was a little too tough. I would have preferred more of the soft, delectable chicken from their masala star.

Restaurant: Cafe Gavroche
Location: 9 Tras St, Singapore 079005
Upon being seated, we saw a quaint Tefal Raclette on every table. We were having no authentic French dinners by Paris chefs – we were having French dinners prepared with a local flavor! We were given a side of quail eggs, cheese, a meat spread and a pot of soft potatoes .I was cluelessly slicing my potatoes and wrapping them in cheese and ham. The end product turned out pretty tasty!

Have a Oyster Lobster Mayo Yaki. Do you prefer your seafood exotic? Pick their Japanese Apple Dressing Oyster. Do you want a hand in your own dinner preparation? Cue their Hot Plate Oyster.

Restaurant: Foodology Fresh
Location: The URA Centre, 45 Maxwell Road #01-02, Singapore 069118
Various items of the menu fulfill five health categories; vegetarian, sugar-free, lactose-free, gluten-free and no trans-fat. The Roasted Chicken, Grape and Apricot Salad would prove to be a refreshing start. Crunchy mesclun and arugula are accompanied by roasted chicken chunks, apricots, grapes and Spanish onions. A drizzle of white wine vinaigrette enlivens the salad mix.

Restaurant: Atrium Restaurant
Location: Level 4, 317 Outram Rd, Singapore 169075
The memorable dish at Atrium Restaurant is the Mussel Otah Otah. It is a creative mussel meets otah dish, tasting as tantalizing as it sounds. The Peranakan delicacy stuck to its roots, with its strong combination of fish paste, chili and spices coming out fragrantly in every bite. The mussel was admittedly ordinary next to the true-to-local-flavour otah, but together they worked well.

Restaurant: FUKU Fine Fugu Kaiseki Restaurant
Location: 14 Mohamed Sultan Road #01-01, Singapore 238963
We were served the thinly sliced Fugu sashimi, once referred to as gun-powder because of its instantaneous death if not prepared right. The thin slices were presented in a blossom atop an intricately presented on a patterned plate, making it a beautiful translucent yet detailed arrangement. The accompanying condiments are much-needed enhancers to the otherwise limply bland fugu.
