PUBLISHED February 17th, 2021 06:00 am

This week’s grub is rich in local culture, with a new kopitiam experience (what’s more Singaporean?) from Keisuke Group, local-inspired beers from Brewerkz and tickets for a unique reunion dinner from Straits Clan up for grabs. In addition, grab Creamier’s new flavours and visit The Macallan Experience, newly extended till May.

Grill Up a Feast with Chicken Yakiniku Tori Yaro

The versatile Keisuke Group has just launched its newest independent concept, Chicken Yakiniku Tori Yaro, departing from its usual style and launching as a coffeeshop stall. Honouring Singapore hawker culture’s recent recognition by UNESCO, this stall is located in a humble kopitiam along Lorong 29 in Geylang. Be ready to grill up a wide selection of affordable chicken cuts to your liking, and try their 16 sauces available for dipping. A plate of meat is priced from just S$3.90.

Chicken Yakiniku Tori Yaro is now open, and located at 2 Lorong 29 Geylang, Yinchuan Building, Stall No. 3. 

A Reunion Like No Other at The Banquet

Chef Damien D’Silva of Kin is spearheading a reunion dinner like no other, for one night only at the highly-lauded Straits Clan. Showcasing 15 different dishes like rojak-inspired Lo Hei, meaty and heady Hati Babi Bungkus and 48-hour slow-braised Itek Sioh, you won’t find a meal like this anywhere else. They’re also hosting a Red Packet Raffle for the night – guests have the chance to walk away with prizes like cash vouchers and premium champagnes.

The Banquet at Straits Clan will take place 20 February, 6.30pm – 10.30pm at Kin, 31 Bukit Pasoh Rd, Singapore 089845. Tickets are S$208++ per person, available in tables of six and eight. Get tickets here.

Pick Up Brewerkz’s Island-Inspired Beers on Sentosa

Brewerkz has launched Islander Brew, a series of four beers named after Sentosa’s landmarks, in partnership with Sentosa Development Corporation. Each of their flavours is inspired by an edible plant found in Sentosa – Fort Siloso (chocolate-vanilla Porter), Tanjong Rimau (yuzu nutmeg Witbier), Bukit Manis (jasmine Kolsch), and Siloso Beach (lime sea salt Gose). These beers are also carbon-neutral as part of SDC’s decarbonisation plan for Sentosa and Brewerkz’s aspirations to create more sustainable products. Available now at select F&B and retail outlets in Sentosa as well as online.
