A good list! Thanks for sharing, @BoneAppetite.
I heard lots of good things about Colombian Chef Fernando Arevalo’s Preludio (No. 9), so am making a beeline for it the next time I’m back in Singapore. What my friends had when they were at the two-month-old restaurant last week (every dish was just in black-and-white):
I missed Basque Kitchen by Aitor (No. 7) - simply ran out of time as I spent more time in Singapore doing Chinese New Year shopping and catching up with relatives last week than eating out. Eventually, I had only last evening left to do dinner before flying to Penang - it was a toss-up between Aitor’s Basque cuisine, and Gaig’s Catalonian cuisine a block away. I opted for Gaig (it was good), but now I wished I had set more time aside to do Aitor as well.
Bacchanalia (No. 8) did not wow me as much as I expected. Maybe my expectations were too high.
LeVel33 (no. 11) was a let-down the last time I went, but I hadn’t been back since this new chef (Archan Chan) took over.
Chinoiserie (No. 13) was another let-down - Justin Quek is better than this, and he knows it. I wonder what gives.
Another restaurant I’m very interested in is Thevar (No. 3) helmed by Penang-born Mano Thevar. The menu looked simply amazing!
