1. Peach Garden

Chinese food with a Nipponese twist is the theme of this stalwart’s lunch and dinner menus, dubbed Oishi Flavours of Japan and available for diners to enjoy from today until April 30. 

Available à la carte are the likes of chilled sea urchin tofu that comes with a sake-infused century egg sauce and topped with shirasu baby sardines. Equally attractive are the meat options; standouts include the pan-fried shirobuta dressed in your choice of sauce—mala, black pepper, or mushroom.

2. Bread Street Kitchen

It’s also British Pie Week and what better way to celebrate it than with executive chef Sabrina Stillhart’s selection of hearty favourites. Always a classic is the lamb shepherd's pie, made with the traditional base of carrots, mashed potatoes, horseradish and garlic crumbs encased in a buttery shortcrust pastry.

Craving meatier options? The bone marrow & steak pie—a comforting combination of steak, potatoes, onions and baby mushrooms—will do nicely. End with a zesty slice of kaffir lime pie complete with a generous scoop of mandarin yuzu sorbet.

4. Tono Cevicheria

In celebration of International Women’s Day, chefs Tamara Chavez (Tono Cevicheria), Petrina Loh (Morsels) and Ashlee Malligan (Nouri) are joining hands for a collaboration dinner on March 8, in which they will showcase their inspired versions of the classic ceviche and taco.

Chavez’s ceviche is tart and refreshing thanks to a mixture of fresh seafood bathed in her signature tiger’s milk. Loh’s main course is a sublime taco filled with Angus rump rendang, a punchy rendition featuring a homespun recipe, brightened with the addition of green mango pickle, fenugreek and red onion yoghurt.

Malligan will close the meal with her inspired take on the mole taco, which takes cues from the traditional Mexican delicacy made with spices and chillies. She gives it her own spin by using buah keluah instead of chocolate, and mixes it with fork-tender Australian lamb shoulder. Finished with pickled jalapenos, cocoa nibs and sesame seeds.
