Miyoshi By Fat Cow 
A concept by Fat Cow, Miyoshi means 三好 in kanji, meaning ‘three graces’ which showcases three types of Japanese dining experiences – ramen, teppanyaki and omakase. Located in a beautiful colonial style conservation building in Sentosa at the Mess Hall section beside The Outpost Hotel, you can choose how you wish to dine at Miyoshi where I tried the Teppan-Kaiseki menu. The highlight of the Teppan-Kaiseki Lunch Menu (S$98++) is live lobster, while the Dinner Teppan-Kaiseki (S$280++ and additional S$78++ for a 4-glass sake pairing) is an exquisite 11-course experience. Set lunches (from S$32++ to S$168++) are also available from Wednesday to Sunday which is mostly curated from the a-la-carte, served with selected sides including braised burdock, chawanmushi, miso soup and dessert. [Read more here…]

Two Men Bagel House Joo Chiat

The Joo Chiat outlet is a proper dine-in concept in a canteen like style, with Joo Chiat exclusive items such as Bagelwiches (think Bagel & Sandwich) where the Firebird, a combination of hot fried chicken with brussels sprouts, seaweed and garlic is delicious. Coffee by popular Melbourne coffee roaster brand St. Ali is another highlight.

Province 
Tucked within the same space as the equally new 808 Eating House, the dining concept of Province by chef-owner Law Jia-Jun is contemporary Southeast Asian concept. The eight-seater space is cosy and is an intimate counter seating from a large teakwood dining table. It is a S$138++ seven-course prix-fixe menu here where the dishes are inspired by Chef Law’s travels to neighbouring countries like Malaysia and Thailand, so you can expect ingredients used from these regions.

After a successful opening in Springside Walk at The Brooks for Friends Cafe HK (朋友冰室) in 2021, Friends Kitchen HK (朋友小厨) at Neil Road is the newest casual HK teahouse restaurant concept by the same husband and wife duo team.
