Xiao Kang He is a Japanese restaurant located in the center of Singapore. The ingredients here are really top-notch and the taste is also very good. The per capita price is quite expensive, but it is worth it.
This Japanese restaurant is considered a bit expensive in Singapore, with an average cost of about 500 SGD per person. The kaiseki cuisine here is really good, the sashimi is delicious, and the fish is also very good. I am generally satisfied.
The restaurant needs to be booked in advance. It is a Japanese Michelin restaurant with a very good service attitude. The service is thoughtful throughout the ordering and serving process. Customers sit around the stove and the chef interacts with customers the whole time, introducing the ingredients and cooking methods in detail. The food is very exquisite, mainly seafood. The eel is plump and the fish roe explodes in the mouth. The sashimi is very thick, and the rice is eaten with seaweed. The sea urchin is very large. It is a relatively traditional method and the overall level is still very high.
Shoukouwa in Singapore was selected as a two-star Michelin restaurant by the first Singapore Michelin Guide in 2016. The restaurant specializes in Edomae sushi. It can be said to be the fastest restaurant to get a Michelin star because it took only five months. The restaurant is a joint venture between Japanese gourmet Hanachiyo, the founder of Hong Kong's three-star Michelin Sushi Shikon, and Emmanuel Stroobant Restaurant Group. The restaurant is located in One Fullerton, next to the landmark Merlion. The location of the restaurant is very difficult to find. On the second floor, you will feel like you are in an office rather than a restaurant. Only 8 diners are received at a time, so the website shows that if you make a reservation, you need to collect a certain deposit in advance, but strangely, my deposit was not collected. The lunch set menu includes MIO (worth $180 SGD) with 16 dishes; OMAKASE MIYABI (S320) with 20 dishes including: appetizer, four cooked dishes, sashimi, sushi, miso soup, Japanese omelette and dessert; and HANA (S480) with 25 dishes including: appetizer, four cooked dishes, sashimi, 13 pieces of sushi, miso soup, Japanese omelette and dessert; the evening set menu does not offer the $180 set menu. The ingredients here are fresh ingredients airlifted from the Tsukiji Market in Japan. Even the water is processed by a special machine, and different vinegars are used for different fish species. The content of the day's production will be formulated based on the fresh ingredients of the day, so you may not be able to eat the food in the pictures this time. I ordered a normal set menu and an OMAKASE set menu. It turns out that the OMAKASE set menu can better reflect the level of the restaurant. The combination and use of ingredients are very attentive, and the order before and after can be cleverly matched, as well as the taste experience of diners. And it can accurately adjust the taste buds to a more intuitive feeling, and it can be very balanced. In comparison, the lunch set of S180 SGD is relatively bland. The environment is really very small, and the bathroom is not very good for the shared physical examination in the building! Because I have to finish a sushi within ten seconds, I didn’t take many photos. The following pictures do not fully reflect all the dishes [doge] you know!
Michelin, Michelin, Michelin, the highest pursuit of a chef, but many restaurants stop operating after getting 3 Michelin stars. Don't they have nothing to pursue? The one-star ones are more expensive. Japanese food in Singapore is expensive. This person needs 200-300 SGD per person to eat well. The taste is good and the location is also good. It is worth a try.
"Shoukouwa" is a food store that sells Japanese food! It is called a food store because there seems to be no big restaurants in Japan... As a two-star Michelin restaurant in Singapore, I still want to try it~ I called the store three days in advance and it was easy to make a reservation. I got a seat (it seems not very popular?) There are not many people dining in the restaurant. There are two types of dinner sets, one is more than 300 SGD and the other is more than 400 SGD. We chose the more than 400 SGD set, but we found out that only the Sushi type is different after eating half of it. The dishes made by the kitchen are the same, but the more than 400 SGD set will be more. So if you don't eat much, don't choose the more than 400 SGD set, otherwise you will not be able to eat at all in the end... The Japanese food I ate in Singapore didn't surprise me. I feel that the Japanese food in Singapore is quite average. But to be honest, Xiaokanghe is indeed better than "鮐一" Better, not in terms of price, but in terms of service level, food quality, and Chef Sushi's Level. So if you have to eat Japanese food in Singapore, I suggest Xiao Kang He. If you want to eat Japanese food, you should go to Japan or Hong Kong. Obviously, in places like Singapore, it is more down-to-earth to eat "laksa" and bak kut teh, but the sashimi in Xiao Kang He is quite fresh, and it is very delicate, beautiful and delicious. The view outside the window is also beautiful... Food, beautiful scenery, and the "beauty" in front of you, who else can you choose?
It is worthy of being a star restaurant, and the prices are also star-level. Maybe it’s because the food is expensive, the service is good, the chefs prepare the food very carefully, the food presentation is very delicate, there is no menu, it’s all designed by the chef, the nigiri sushi tastes very good, the fish is really fresh, the fish roe bounces in the mouth, it feels so satisfying, I didn’t refuse to try it at all.
Many people told me that eating Japanese food will not make you fat, but there are many surprises, because people with big appetites still gain more than ten pounds, which is hilarious. How can you not gain weight if you eat a lot of rice! The fish fillet is really delicious.
