📍Shatoburian
Singapore
• A5 Japanese Wagyu Beef Signature Yakiniku Don 🫶🏼
• Butcher’s Don
• Wagyu temaki
• Shato-sando
• 120g Chateaubriand

Came to @shatoburian for a meal before I flew back to London after my Christmas break :) Overall we had a rly good experience, with amazing service + quality food, which anyone would expect from one of the most popular yakiniku restaurants in SG. I think I may have set my expectations a bit too high, and there are some dishes that I personally don’t think is very worth the price, eg paying $58++ for a one bite appetiser (4th pic) which didn’t rly wow me.

I would recommend sharing the Signature don which is the most popular item there, (basically just a don of all the premium ingredients - wagyu, caviar, uni, shaved truffle, foie gras). The wagyu is rly rich and 🤤, but can get quite heavy after a while. We got 2 x Signature Dons + 1 x Butcher’s Don to split between four of us. Still prob have to take a few weeks off from wagyu after this :p

📍Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester 🌟🌟🌟
The Dorchester, 53 Park Ln, London W1K 1QA, UK

Finally gave @alainducasseatthedorchester a try after so many years to celebrate grad. We got the private room with the 7 course set menu, and prior to arriving we could select our own hermes chinaware which was cool

Overall excellent attention to detail and service. We loved the amuse bouches in particular and got to say hi to the chefs. Some of the dishes were hit or miss though, might be too uncultured to appreciate the full extent of french food (sardine stuffed aubergine was too much for me 😶)

📍Holy Carrot
156 Portobello Rd, London W11 2EB, UK

• Koji bread, mushroom chilli ragu
• Coal roast leeks
• Smoked carrots, harissa butter, beans puree
• Grilled onions

why am i trying a vegan restaurant as the most picky veggie eater? good qn. but @holycarrotrestaurant has been on my list for a while now and we finally got round to trying it.

for reference i hate leeks and mushroom w a passion but we somehow ordered both as starters. it was honestly surprisingly good that i would almost eat it again. carrots were bomb af i love roasted carrots and these were so yummy. onions were also not bad but we were so full at this point that we had to keep it for takeaway. they went a bit heavy w the oils in all honesty but i guess it was essential to give it more flavour n balance.

dishes were rly filling and was a refreshing change to have vegetable based starters n mains. a good try and love the inclusivity in the london food scene. would come back again if i was vegan taken in Holy Carrot by @chxr.eats

📍Jeju Noodle Bar ⭐️
679 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10014, US

• Toro Ssam Bap
• Truffle Scallop
• Wagyu Ramyun

@jejunoodlebar has held a Michelin star for the past 6 years and was the first noodle bar in the whole of US to achieve a star, so I had high hopes visiting this restaurant. we were lucky enough to get a walk in seat esp since it was fully booked out online for the next month

toro ssam bap came with nori seaweed and so we could assemble hand rolls. this was so good the roasted sesame taste on the seaweed was so strong and nutty, and the taste and textures and smells of everything came together so well.

truffle scallop was a bit meh for me. the combination of raw scallop and slices truffle didn’t pair that well and i found myself eating it separately most of the time. though this dish was so heavily covered in sliced truffles, i also couldn’t really taste the truffle at all and the sauce overwhelmed everything a bit imo

wagyu ramyun was decent, noodles were nice and springy and the meat was soft n tender. would be so nice to have this esp in the cold nyc weather. slightly overpriced tho as it came out to be around $50~ for this dish

overall a really cool restaurant and i can def see the appeal for first timers here. would come back to try other menu items :)

📍Ume
237 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249, United States

Believe me when I say I’ve been looking for any opportunity to visit NYC again ever since I became aware of Ume’s existence, and this was the very first meal I had when I touched down lol 🙏🏼🙏🏼

The whole concept feels modern yet authentic, with guests having to remove their shoes and wash their hands at the entrance before heading to either the counter seats or garden. Prix fixe menu is standard which consists of soup, 12 different kinds of sashimis with rice and nori seaweed, and 9 different kinds of tasting salts. It was kinda fun to play around and pair the salts with sashimis according to my liking, and the option to have it either on its own or hand roll style. You would think the quality / freshness goes down given how this restaurant focuses so heavily on aesthetic but all the dishes were so so good and I enjoyed it till the last bite.

Overall a 10/10 not so hidden gem in New York, will def be back to try the other menu items, but also just for the classic set which is a high compliment I dont give lightly lol

📍Nest
374-378 Old St, London EC1V 9LT, UK

Signature Menu “SEA & COASTLINE” - sea broth, smoked cod roe, fish croquette, oyster, seabass crudo, soda bread, mussels, cuttlefish risotto, scallops, poached cod, sea buckthorn sorbet, custard tart with elderflower ice cream, petit fours

I don’t use the term hidden gem much but this restaurant in Shoreditch is such a hidden gem. Tucked away in a random street, @nest_food looked unassuming from the outside. We chose the counter seats which felt more intimate and where we could watch the chefs prepare our food.

Every single dish was a hit and so well cooked. Enjoyed the dinner so much and definitely a must try in London.

📍Zephyr
100 Portobello Rd, London W11 2QD, UK

• Potato Terrine
• Bread Basket
• Smoked Aubergine Spread
• Tarama Spread
• Yellowtail
• Calamari
• Popcorn Chicken
• Burnt Olive Oil Cheesecake

Heard so much about @zephyrnottinghill all over tiktok but it honestly paled in comparison to my recent eats. We had the option of a la carte or the lunch set menu but we went with a la carte so we could try more dishes.

This restaurant seemed to cater more to those who put an emphasis on the aesthetics rather than taste. The potato terrine which the place is famous for was lackluster, and overloaded with truffle custard that was heavy, seized and flavourless. The terrine itself was ok, though not as crispy as I would like. The bread basket and spreads were interesting at first but got a bit heavy and unbalanced; would probably order this only if u came with more than 2 people. Yellowtail with dashi and yuzu were ok but generic. I think the worst dishes for me were the popcorn chicken and calamari. The batter for both were soggy and left a very heavy oily feel after u ate it.

We decided to order the burnt olive oil cheesecake at the end, and although im not a huge cheesecake person, this was surprisingly nice. The centre was nice and custardy and it wasn’t too sweet. The crust was (very) burnt but i liked the charred taste so i didn’t really mind.

overall 3.5/10. nice atmosphere, service and aesthetics overall but food was really nothing special and not worth the far travel.
