Make the most out of your mealtime with our round-up of timely treats
The feasting continues even after the first two days of Chinese New Year. We all know how Chinese fare can be rich and filling—especially if you’ve had too much—so you might already be craving for different flavours to give your palate a break. Look no further than this week’s recommendations of Japanese restaurants, serving up crowd favourites that go beyond your usual sushi and sashimi.
Naturally, Japanese options aren’t the only suggestions we have for you. For variety, we’ve also tossed in a cult-favourite lobster roll joint which has opened its second outlet in the east, as well as a homegrown gastro bar that launched a delicious kids’ menu.
1. Wa-i Sushi
The Japanese restaurant, which opened in December 2020, is our latest destination for quality and affordable Japanese fare. The best way to take full advantage of your dining experience here is to order the eight-course menu, which brings you a parade of beautifully crafted dishes made with the season’s best.
Apart from the usual nigiri sushi and seasonal sashimi, you also have the likes of miso-grilled cod with a touch of citrus to brighten the flavours; flame-torched A5 Wagyu beef; and miso soup brimming with otoro and Asari clams. Book here.
