Eat eat eat, shop shop shop, it can be quite challenging to choose one between the two. Sooo... Just do both this weekend!
2. One-Michelin-Starred Hamamoto Transports You to Japan
Be transported to Japan at one-Michelin-starred Hamamoto where corpulent fish from the deepest waters make their way into the menu, along with other delicacies hand-picked by Chef Kazuhiro Hamamoto.
Look forward to the silky flesh of Amadai (tilefish), Komochi Yarrika (spear squid pregnant with roe) and this season’s gutsu-gutsu — a clay pot of steaming broth named for the sound liquid makes when it boils — features Hotaruika (firefly squid) from Toyama along with tender Takenoko (bamboo shoots) and Kinome, a minty herb, from Kyoto.
Matsubagani (male snow crabs) from Hokkaido star in Hamamoto’s best-known signature: shabu-shabu. Chef Kazu shells the crab legs at the counter before poaching their delicate flesh for mere seconds in a flavourful dashi that has been kept brewing for as long as Hamamoto has been open. Another irresistible signature is the Ise Ebi Sashimi, pristine raw lobster tail meat set on its shell and crowned with uni and Kaluga caviar.
At lunch, you may enjoy the Lunch Omakase (from S$280). Dinner is a more elaborate affair where guests can choose from the Hamamoto Classic (from S$425) or the Hamamoto Experience (from S$550).
Hamamoto is located at 58 Tras Street. Singapore 078977.
