Ami Patisserie

Ami Patisserie, nestled within the leafy heritage grounds of Scotts Road, offers a distinct departure from the conventional pastry shop. At the heart of the experience is the Tsudoi dining room—an intimate, wood-panelled space where chef-owner Makoto Arami serves his Discovery menu. Pastry is elevated, prioritising natural sugars and seasonal Japanese produce. It is a rigorous, course-by-course exploration where the boundary between savoury and sweet is intentionally blurred. The experience begins with snacks such as the savoury miso madeleine and a refined Hokkaido crab and scallop tartlet with an oceanic sweetness. The smoked Omi beef toast provides a robust, savoury anchor before the menu transitions into the fruit-forward profiles of Japanese momo (peach) and refreshing Shizuoka musk melon. This is a sophisticated experience that treats the art of the pastry chef with the gravity usually reserved for the main kitchen.
