A very fascinating restaurant in Singapore. The cuisine is extremely intellectual. Chef Ivan Brehm calls it ‘crossroads cooking’ and it’s basically the intersections of how cultures across the world have more similarities than they have differences. His cuisine is based on that and I find that quite fascinating.

Creative momentum taking roots from the humble allium Chef Jason Tan is working miracles at on his home turf at Tras street. The tasting menu is riddled with the world's more luxurious produce, amplified with French sauces made from vegetables for a refreshing change. My recent soujourn presented me with a grilled Mozambique langoustine of impeccable quality topped with Cordyceps, there's shiso miso sauce and a smidgen of tarragon oil to help it along, but it's really that brilliant légumes vin blanc that proves the most enthusiastic cheerleader in this game.

Definitely a highlight of my trip Home. A very interactive ***restaurant, delivering amazing flavours with its Nordic precision, French flair and Japanese aesthetics. There is no dress code requirements as it was meant for the guests to feel comfortable and at home. A large box of ingredients featuring the menu of the day was shown and explained while the 4th and 5th candles were served. I opted for a mix of alcohol and juice pairing which did not disappoint me. Both Aaron and Warren excelled in their services with very clear explanations and details of every single pairing. Every course was served with a kitchen/service staff show-casing the finishing of the dish at the tableside. Service was calm, casual, yet sharp and attentive. Zen serves a seasonal fixed menu consisting of: 5 canapés (served at first floor of the restaurant) 7 cold/warm dishes (2nd floor) Seasonal fruits and sorbet + 6 petit fours with coffee/tea (last floor) Zen is definitely top on the list to visit in one of the most exciting gastronomic destinations-Singapore!

Highlight for my time in Singapore is Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck. As you can see in the name of the restaurant it's all about the duck. Make sure to call a few days before and reserve a duck, then bring a bunch of friends and order a ton of food. Be there for lunch so you can add a few dim sums and make sure to get the roasted pork belly. At some point the chef will come in for the duck show, be ready with the camera. Enjoy the duck with the pancakes then you'll be asked for the second serving with the rest! Lettuce wraps and the Garlic dried fried duck bones are 🔥!

Modern cuisine with visceral transportive energy At recently anointed 1 Michelin star @margueriterestaurant, Chef Michael Wilson not only highlights spring through its produce, but effectively created his cuisine with a visceral transportive energy to showcase the nature of the season and its ensuing eating habits. Cold soups, garden peas and foraged herbs, bring it on! This adeptness is furthered in the dish of morel mushrooms custard served with a train of good things. From spring peas, to asparagus, burnt butter, lovage oil and even bear paw garlic, which my surrounding forests in the Loire countryside have proven to be a treasure trove of. Immediately, my mind leaps to an expanse of fields dotted with rejuvenating colours from the rallying flora and fauna, the excitement from the passing of winter, and also the thrill that the abundance of the earth brings.

Amazing flavors, should get two Michelin As a chef who travels for food, I’ve eaten some of the best foods all over the world. After a while, my taste bud gets harder & harder to please. Lately I’ve been disappointed at michelin starred places, felt like same old, nothing new. Sorry if I sound jaded, but it’s true. This Candlenut surprised me by waking uo my taste buds. Everything was delicious even if i don’t remember what I ate. But one particular dish stood out in my mind, and made me scratch my head trying to guess what seasoning or flavors they used to make it so out of this were delicious, but so different that I can’t put my finger on why it was so delicious. I can’t even remember what the dish was called, but if you go there, please just order the dish by pointing to the last picture I’m posting here, some kind of veggie dish that was unforgettable. I could eat it every day. It was that good. I would come back to Singapore just to eat this dish.

Modern* Indian Flavour Bomb From street food to fine dining, Singapore was well known for its diversity of ethnic and international cuisines. It’s not easy at all to stand out among the competitors especially with modern Indian Cuisine, playing with flavours that many locals know. Thevar Restaurant quickly convinced me with courses of flavour bombs. I had the full extended menu with cocktail pairings. Every bite/dish was served in the perfect portion. The maitake-truffle samosa and prawn kachori were my favourites! Flavours were familiar yet different and refreshing. The service was friendly and good paced. The restaurant is nestled in the heart of vibrant Food and Bar Street - Keong Saik and serves only a dinner set menu. Be it a local or tourist, this place is definitely great to explore and try out!
