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.

Murger Han @ Shenton Way - London Famous Xi'an Restaurant Opens In Singapore Serving Signature Biang Biang Noodles

UK-based Murger Han has built a strong following across its four London outlets for its authentic Xi'an cuisine. Now, it has opened its first Asian outpost in Singapore at Robinson Centre.

3-in-1 Noodles 4.5/5

The casual eatery offers its signature dishes at reasonable prices, with the highlight being its hand-pulled Biang Biang Noodles. We tried the 3-in-1 Noodles ($8.80), featuring a mix of tomato egg sauce, spring onion, chilli oil, and stir-fried vegetables. For the protein, diners can choose from Braised Pork, Slow-Cooked Lamb, Slow-Cooked Beef, or Beef Brisket. We opted for braised pork.

I loved the thick and chewy noodles paired with well-balanced flavours of sweetness, savouriness, and a touch of tang.

For those wanting more variety, the 5-in-1 Noodles ($9.80) include two meat choices, while simpler options such as Spring Onion & Chili Oil Noodles ($6.80) and Tomato & Egg Sauce Noodles ($6.80) are also available.

Crusty Murger with Pork 3.8/5

Another signature is the murger, available with a normal or crispy crust and a choice of fillings. We tried the Crusty Murger with Pork ($5.80), but while the bread was flaky, it lacked crunch, and we found the filling slightly too salty. Other options include Lean Pork and Spicy Chicken with Peppers and Cumin.

Steamed Rice Noodles with Seasonal Vegetables 4/5

We also had the Steamed Rice Noodles with Seasonal Vegetables ($6.80), which were fresh, slightly chewy, and well-seasoned. We added a portion of Sesame Sauce ($1), which contributed a creamy nuttiness, though we wished the chilli oil had packed more heat.

Lamb Soup with Tofu, Vermicelli and Vegetables 4/5

For something warm, the Lamb Soup with Tofu, Vermicelli, and Vegetables ($7.80) was substantial. It featured lamb slices, vermicelli, and small dough-like noodles. While I found the lamb's gaminess very strong, my dining partner enjoyed the comforting broth.

Mixed Salad 2/5

However, the Mixed Salad ($7.80) was the least impressive, as the flavours were relatively muted.
