Chef Teppei made quite a splash when he opened Teppei back in 2015. If memory serves me well, he was offering a 15-course omakase meal for just $50! The queues started forming quickly and soon there was a 4-month waiting list to get in! Over time, the omakase increased to $90 as they started introducing […] The post Kai Kai Sushi & Grill: The latest eatery by Chef Teppei! appeared first on ieatishootipost ..read more

It’s no secret that I admire Chefs who live and breathe their craft and who refuse to compromise on quality when it comes to sourcing ingredients. The challenge with such chefs is finding a clientele who can truly appreciate their vision.

Unexpected Find at Robertson Quay I’ve passed by Tapas 24 numerous times en route to another restaurant, never giving it a second thought. I thought it was just another franchised restaurant serving cookie-cutter Tapas for the unassuming masses. Its exterior didn’t convey the impression of a serious Spanish eatery serving authentic food.

Chye Poh Kway Teow is a dish typically found at Teochew restaurants. It’s essentially peasant food made of simple, everyday ingredients like rice noodles (kway teow), chye poh (preserved radish), eggs, and kai lan. However, when it’s fried by an expert wok master who manages to infuse “wok hei” into the dish, the four simple […] The post Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun: Hawker Stall Chye Poh Kway Teow appeared first on ieatishootipost ..read more
