If you’re spoilt for choice and really can’t decide what you want to eat, this place might be right up your alley. They have a whole array of food items you can pick from, everything from seafood to Mediterranean to dim sums and anywhere else as the menu tends to go through changes very often.

Simplicity is at the heart of this Japanese restaurant helmed by Hal Yamashita, who is famous for his ‘Nouvelle Japanese’ cooking which merges the fine culinary traditions of Japan with the Western form. Even if you are a connoisseur of sushi and sashimi, you will want to try this place out as Mr. Yamashita has a tendency to break conventions and create unusual combinations, such as placing edible flowers in your dishes and playing it up by merging different meats together in one seamless whole – which so happens to be their specialty.

If you’re the kind that wants a culinary experience in a setting that is both outrageous and magical, book a seat here in advance. Enjoy great seafood while staring into the deep-blue recesses of S.E.A. Aquarium, home to 100,000 sea creatures ranging from stingrays, sharks and all types of fishes. Gaze into the majesty that is underwater life while dining on some of the finest seafood by famed chef Cat Cora herself, who draws from her Greek heritage in producing the menu. This is not for the faint of heart.

If you want something far more traditional, check out Malaysian Food Street. The entire place is meant to replicate a food corner stall seen in most parts of Asia.

If you want to go all out and enjoy your experience – from preparing the dishes and watching your food being made in front of you – you should definitely consider this Thai-style steamboat restaurant as one of your lunch or dinner spots.

Just make sure not to stuff yourself with the unlimited sweet treats.

Considered to be the finest steak place in Singapore, this restaurant is for all the red meat connoisseurs.
