With Valentine’s day done and dusted, it may seem like the near future is void of any upcoming festivities that would call for a fancy dinner. Don’t let that hinder you from exploring Singapore’s ever-changing culinary scene. From new premium lamb offerings at La Brasserie to The Certain Bar’s guest shift at Gibson and not to forget, free nourishing soup on behalf of YUN NAN for all its loyal customers, options are aplenty.
YÃ n’s Star Grouper Three Ways Recommendation Menu
Head Chef Ng Sen Tio will be showcasing his culinary prowess as he presents the prized star grouper fish in three unique preparations, available only from 9 February to 30 March. Embark on a gastronomical journey starting off with the Sautéed Fillet with Luffa and Egg White – delicate morsels of the fish are accompanied by scrambled velvety egg whites and luffa gourd. This is followed by his flavour-packed Braised Fish Belly with Clam Sauce that consists of fried then braised slices of grouper coated in a rich clam sauce glaze. A reflection of the chef’s philosophy that every part of his ingredient should be utilised, the final course, Fish Head and Bone Soup with Chinese Parsley, is a nutritional concoction that brings together often discarded scraps of fish and aromatics like parsley and ginger. Left wanting more? Order any three of their enticing appetisers like Crispy Silver fish or Deep-fried Fresh Mushroom with Salted Egg Yolk for S$20++.
Yà n is located at #05-02 National Gallery Singapore, 1 St Andrew’s Rd, Singapore 178957 , p. +65 6384 5585. Open daily 11.30am – 2.30pm, 6pm – 10.30pm.
Gibson x The Certain Bar Guest Shift
With Shuhei Nomura of The Certain Bar – a highly-rated cocktail bar located in Fukuoka – helming the guest shift tonight at Gibson, you don’t have to travel far to get a taste of modern Japanese cocktails (S$23 each). What sets these innovative cocktails apart is the incorporation of organic, wild ingredients through molecular gastronomy techniques typically seen in a restaurant kitchen. Expect pleasantly complex tipples, namely Nomura’s take on the Old Fashioned – Togouchi whisky with hints of creamy brown butter and vanilla, or the fruitier Fusen, a mix of yuzu leaf gin with strawberry syrup, lemon, almond essence, and egg white. One thing’s for sure, you’re in for a sensory experience like no other.
Gibson is located at 20 Bukit Pasoh Rd, Singapore 089834, p. +65 9114 8385. Open Mon-Thu 6pm – 1am, Fri-Sat 6pm – 2am. Closed Sun.
