Fourgather Thai Casual Dining @ Suntec City Mall - An UnFourgather Thai Meal with Its Second Outlet

Following the success of their first outlet at Amoy Hotel, modern Thai restaurant Fourgather officially opened its doors at Suntec City in February 2025. This new 66-seater space introduces an exciting menu that masterfully blends traditional Thai flavours with contemporary Western influences. For the first time, Fourgather also launched a dedicated kid's menu, making it a welcoming dining destination for all ages.

Thai Chrysanthemum, Lemongrass Drink and Thai Milk Tea

We kicked off our meal with three signature Thai beverages: Thai Chrysanthemum ($5.50), Lemongrass Drink ($4.50), and Thai Milk Tea ($4.50). Each drink was well-balanced in flavour, refreshingly aromatic and not overly sweet.

Watermelon Salad V2 4.8/5

The Watermelon Salad V2 ($16.90) was a standout dish. Juicy watermelon slices were topped with a tangy Thai dressing, crisp dried fish and peanuts, creating a perfect balance of sweet, savoury, and mildly spicy flavours. The original version, served at their Amoy Street branch, featured cubed watermelon, but this updated rendition felt even more refined and beautifully presented.

Yum Salmon 3.8/5

The Yum Salmon ($26.90) is a popular Thai dish featuring raw salmon slices tossed in a special Thai sauce. While the flavours were fresh, the choice of salmon cut left something to be desired and we found ourselves wishing for a spicier kick.

Fourgather Pork Party Platter 4.2/5

The Fourgather Pork Party Platter ($35.90) is a must-try for pork lovers. It features a delightful mix of Thai-style Moo Ping, Crispy Pork Belly, Tender Pork Cutlet, and Grilled Pork Jowl. This platter is perfect for sharing (serving 2–3 people). Accompanied by sticky rice, fresh vegetables, and assorted condiments, every bite was flavourful and well-executed.

Prime Sirloin Steak with Sticky Rice and Papaya Salad 3.5/5

For a tableside Aburi show, order the Prime Sirloin Steak with Sticky Rice and Papaya Salad ($47.90). The top-grade sirloin is seared before being torched tableside. It comes with sticky rice, Thai papaya salad and a zesty Nam Jim Jiao sauce. We opted for the Thai style (instead of Plara) with an extra spice option, though the spice level was barely noticeable. You can also upgrade to a more marbled cut for an additional $4, which we did.

Tom Yum Mama Hotpot 3.8/5

Perfect for sharing, the Tom Yum Mama Hotpot ($36.90) serves 3–4 people and is packed with seafood and tender pork simmered in a rich tom yum broth, topped with a soft-cooked egg. While the broth was aromatic, we found ourselves wishing for more spice and tang. Pro tip: Avoid letting the Mama noodles sit for too long, as they tend to get soggy.

Tom Yum Seafood Pasta 4/5

If you prefer a milder tom yum flavour, the Tom Yum Seafood Pasta ($26.90) is a fantastic option. This dish features a fragrant, creamy tom yum sauce tossed with seafood and topped with crispy lemongrass shreds. It is a well-executed fusion dish we truly enjoyed.

Kids Set B

Fourgather's kid-friendly approach includes four different Kids Sets served in adorable car or airplane bowls. Prices start from $11.90, with customisable mains, sides, and drinks. We tried Set B, in which we opted for Thai Fried Rice with a sunny-side-up egg, cheese chicken balls, tater tots, and apple juice. There are four different Kids' Sets for your little ones while the adults indulge in spicier Thai flavours.

Fourgather's extensive menu caters to all palates, offering everything from classic Thai flavours to inventive fusion dishes. The modern yet cosy ambience, accentuated by neon signs and eclectic decor, makes it a great spot for a quick lunch, a casual dinner or a relaxed gathering with friends and family.

Tenkaichi Japanese BBQ Restaurant @ Marina Square - Affordable Wagyu Beef Yakiniku Buffet

Tenkaichi Japanese BBQ Restaurant at Marina Square specialises in Wagyu Beef Yakiniku. It offers a high-quality buffet spread at affordable prices. For those seeking an elevated experience, premium Japan Kagoshima Wagyu is available in different grades on the à la carte menu.

Kagoshima Wagyu 3 Cuts

The buffet has three tiers: Standard, Deluxe, and Premium. To enjoy Wagyu beef, opt for the Deluxe or Premium options, with the latter featuring Kagoshima Wagyu. The Kagoshima Wagyu is served in three different cuts, unveiling its beautiful marbling and allowing diners to experience a variety of textures.

Japanese Wagyu Sirloin Steak, Angus Beef Ribeye

The Premium buffet also includes a thick-cut (300g) Japanese Wagyu Sirloin Steak for those who prefer a chunkier bite. Alternatively, the Angus Beef Ribeye is a great choice if you prefer a meatier cut with less marbling.

Pork Cheek Fillet, Iberico Pork Collar, Pork Belly

Pork lovers won't be disappointed either — the buffet includes high-quality pork selections such as Black Pork Belly, Iberico Pork Collar, and Pork Cheek Fillet. All were tender and succulent, but the pork cheek fillet stood out with its melt-in-your-mouth texture, reminiscent of Wagyu.

Seafood

Seafood selections were thoughtfully curated and exceptionally fresh, featuring options like salmon, prawns, ika (squid), hotate (scallops), and more.

Sashimi

There's a wide variety of accompaniments to complement the BBQ meats and seafood. The Sashimi selection includes salmon, maguro (tuna), tai (sea bream), hamachi (yellowtail), tako (octopus), and shime saba (vinegared mackerel). The Premium buffet further impresses with Wagyu Sashimi and Wagyu Tataki.

Furikake Gohan, Garlic Chahan

For carbs, the Furikake Gohan and Garlic Chahan were excellent pairings. I especially enjoyed the Garlic Chahan, topped with crispy fried garlic bits. Having it alongside the rich, fatty Wagyu cuts and a comforting bowl of miso soup truly enhanced the dining experience.

Other side dishes, including Tamago Yaki, Maki, Kaki Fry, and Ebi Fry, completed the feast. We couldn't get through the entire menu, but the Kaki Fry — fried breaded oyster — was exceptionally moreish and worth trying.

Kaki Fry

Wok Fried Glass Noodle with Eel, Grilled Pork Belly with Fermented Rice and Galangal

The Wok-Fried Glass Noodles with Eel balance the chewiness of glass noodles with the crispiness of the fried eel, creating a delightful textural contrast. Meanwhile, the Grilled Pork Belly with Fermented Rice offers a rich umami depth alongside aromatic notes of galangal. It would be a perfect pairing with a bowl of white rice.

Stir-Fried Kohlrabi with Dried Shrimp

Crisp, refreshing Kohlrabi is stir-fried with savoury dried shrimp, creating a balanced blend of crunch and umami. The contrast of textures makes this a simple yet satisfying side.

Jellyfish Salad with Chili and Lime

Bright and invigorating, this salad pairs the delicate brininess of Jellyfish with a zesty chilli-lime dressing. Each bite is a refreshing medley of crisp textures and citrusy heat.

Stewed Beef Shank with Vinegar & Fish Sauce

A slow-cooked masterpiece, the Beef Shank is tender and deeply infused with the tangy sharpness of vinegar and the savoury complexity of fish sauce. It is comforting and bold in flavour.

Wok Fried River Prawn with Tamarin Sauce

Succulent River Prawns are stir-fried in a luscious tamarind sauce that expertly balances sweet, sour, and savoury elements. The rich glaze enhances the prawns' natural sweetness.

Steamed Whole Mud Crab with Chinese Herbal in Lotus Leaf

A show-stopping highlight, this dish features a Whole Steamed Mud Crab served alongside a Chinese herbal sauce on the side. The crabs are incredibly fresh and generously filled with roe. It is a must-try, even on its own without the sauce.

Southern Beef Wrapped in Betel Leaves

Ground Beef seasoned with fragrant spices is encased in Betel Leaves and grilled to smoky perfection. This savoury delicacy is aromatic and tender, offering a taste of Southern Vietnamese cuisine.

Fried Prawn Meat with Sugar Cane

This beloved delicacy features flavourful Prawn Paste wrapped around juicy sugar cane. The juxtaposition of savoury seafood and subtly sweet sugar cane creates a unique and delightful bite.

Mini Savoury Pancakes with Prawn Coconut Cream

These crispy-edged, bite-sized Pancakes are topped with juicy prawns and a hint of rich coconut cream. They are a popular Southern Vietnamese street snack that we can't stop at one.

Northern Sour Fish Soup with Local Herbs

A comforting bowl of tangy Fish Soup, where the delicate taste of fresh fish meets a herbaceous broth, is a Northern speciality that is a soothing and flavourful representation of home-style Vietnamese cooking.

Fresh Spring Roll with Prawn

Freshly assembled at the live station, these light and refreshing Spring Rolls feature plump prawns, crisp vegetables, and fragrant herbs, all wrapped in delicate rice paper. They are a classic Vietnamese must-have.

Plain Yogurt with Black Sticky Rice

This simple, satisfying dessert pairs house-made Yoghurt with sweet, nutty Black Sticky Rice. The combination of creamy and chewy textures is a delightful finish.

Yakitori One (鳥萬) @ Suntec City Mall - Beijing’s Popular Yakitori Restaurant Opens First Overseas Outpost in Singapore

Yakitori One (鳥萬), a celebrated yakitori establishment from Beijing, opened its first international outlet in Suntec City, Singapore, bringing local diners an authentic Japanese head-to-tail grilling experience. Specialising in every part of the chicken, from the commonly loved thighs and wings to rare cuts like neck meat, heart aorta, and boneless wing tips, Yakitori One offers a unique take on traditional yakitori dining. Open till 2 AM, it's an excellent late-night spot for grilled skewers and drinks. In addition to its à la carte selections, the restaurant offers a $158 omakase menu, available only for dinner, showcasing the best of its skewers and seasonal specialities.

We had the opportunity to experience the Omakase Menu ($158 per pax), which includes two starters, ten skewers, a rice dish, and dessert. Upon being seated, diners are welcomed with a refreshing drink to kickstart the meal.

Otoro with Grated Foie Gras & Uni 4.2/5

The meal began with an Otoro with Grated Foie Gras & Uni, where the luxurious otoro melted effortlessly in the mouth. The rich foie gras and creamy uni elevated the dish, delivering an explosion of flavours.

Snow Crab with Caviar & Yuzu Jelly 4.2/5

The Snow Crab with Caviar & Yuzu Jelly followed. The jelly's zesty flavour balanced the crab's natural sweetness, while the caviar provided a subtle umami depth to round out the dish.

Chicken Tenderloin 4.2/5

Next came the grilled skewers, a highlight of the omakase experience. The Chicken Tenderloin, delicately grilled over charcoal, retained its incredible softness and silkiness. It was topped with ikura roe for a burst of savoury brininess.

Chicken Thigh 4.5/5

The Chicken Thigh had a more pronounced smokiness due to the additional grilling, enhancing its juicy texture.

Chicken Cartilage 4.2/5

Chicken Heart Aorta 4.2/5

The Chicken Cartilage provided a satisfying crunch, while the rare Chicken Heart Aorta delighted offal lovers with its unique chew and rich taste.

Chicken Neck Meat 4.5/5

One of the standouts was the Chicken Neck Meat. Its tender yet slightly firm texture added an extra layer of enjoyment.

Mentaiko Zucchini 4.5/5

To break up the sequence of chicken skewers, the Mentaiko Zucchini was served. The light, crunchy zucchini was topped with torched mentaiko, imparting a rich creaminess that perfectly complemented the vegetable’s freshness.

Chicken Wings 4.2/5

Chicken Tsukune 4.8/5

Returning to the chicken selections, the Chicken Wings reminded us why bone-in skewers are always more aromatic and flavourful, while the Chicken Tsukune was undoubtedly a crowd-pleaser. The juicy chicken meatball skewer, mixed with soft bone for added texture, was paired with an egg yolk dipping sauce, giving it a silky and indulgent finish.

Pineapple 3/5

AA simple grilled Pineapple was served, though it could have been charred more evenly for a more pronounced caramelisation.

Chiba Sweet Potato 4/5

The meal included a Chiba Sweet Potato, an unexpected but pleasant surprise for a change in pace. The naturally sweet and creamy potato provided a hearty contrast to the preceding skewers.

Nodoguro and Sakura Ebi Don 4.5/5

The final savoury course was the Nodoguro and Sakura Ebi Don. This fragrant and umami-rich rice dish was deeply satisfying, thanks to its delicate balance of seafood flavours and perfectly cooked rice.

Yuzi Ice Cream 3/5

Finally, a scoop of Yuzu Ice Cream provided a refreshing citrusy sweetness, leaving a light and clean finish to an indulgent yakitori feast.

Yakitori One brings a rare and authentic yakitori omakase experience to Singapore. With meticulously prepared skewers and premium ingredients, it is a must-visit for yakitori lovers and adventurous diners alike. Whether you're looking for an indulgent omakase experience or just craving some late-night skewers, Yakitori One is definitely a spot worth checking out.
