Recently just got back from my trip to London and Amsterdam, so I’m excited to share with you guys the food that I got on my trip there! The first on my blog: Engawa! This was the spot that I brought my girlfriend to for her birthday lunch.

A lot of new business lunch sets popping up lately, and one of the newer ones is the business lunch set from L’amo Bistro del Mare. Honestly, this is a super good offering - especially because their a-la-carte/dinner menu is a bit more on the pricier end.

I really love writing about brunch offerings because there’s so much to talk about! This post will go into the brunch offering (or “Buranchi”) of Reif Kushiyaki! This is a multi-award-winning restaurant by Chef Reif Othman (a Singaporean). This restaurant is a recipient of the Michelin Bib Gourmand in Dubai for 2022, so I’m super excited to share their brunch offering with you guys!

I would say that a lot of the Japanese restaurants in Dubai are a bit more on the fusion side - namely Roka, Zuma, 3 Fils, & Goldfish (many more examples, but these are what pop into my head). I would say that 99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant is probably up there in terms of being one of the more authentic Japanese cuisine spots in Dubai. Here’s what I thought of it!

Really excited to be sharing Akira Back with you guys this week! The price may be a bit on the steeper side, but the food at Akira Back really is oh, so delicious. There are seriously a lot of photos, so even if you’re not eating here, just stay for the pictures of the food (if you’re not too hungry right now!)

Today I’m sharing the sister restaurant to Zuma (which I blogged about previously) - a restaurant that I’m a big fan of. I would say as a straight comparison, Zuma is the more upbeat place with everything happening quickly and Roka is the more cozy/comfy place.

Kimura-ya is a Japanese Izakaya-style restaurant with a very wide menu and a casual atmosphere. Overall, I would say that this is a really cozy restaurant providing an authentic Japanese dining experience.

Today’s blog showcases Sushi Shin JB, a Japanese Omakase style restaurant that prides itself with fresh fish, great service and a cool ambience right from the confines of Johor Bahru! Here’s what I thought of the place.

There’s been quite a few cafes that I’ve had lately that I haven’t quite gotten enough to work with (ordered enough things) to substantiate a full review. So this is a new ‘segment’ that lets me show the things that I tried over the course of a month in a short and concise manner.

Eating with my girlfriend in KL usually means more Japanese food, so this is what ends up getting on my blog… more Japanese food. But this is one that I’m pretty happy to share with you guys: Nippori Cafe!

I would say that Japanese restaurants in nice Singapore hotels have always had the reputation of being among the best food around. I would say this has changed slightly over the years, but they still do produce great food - Chikuyotei in particular being famous for their unagi!

Trendy, hip and wildly popular, Zuma Dubai combines traditional Japanese tastes with a contemporary twist, making it one of the hardest places to get a table in Dubai. Promising of high quality ingredients and vibrant atmosphere, this is definitely one of the best eats in Dubai for a reason.

You probably wouldn’t expect a Japanese restaurant selling fresh sashimi in a high rise above Orchard Central to have cheap prices, but that’s precisely what you’re getting at Tsukiji Fish Market Restaurant!
