Japanese Fusion
What it is:
A melding of European elements, untraditional
ingredients and unusual cooking techniques.
Where to get it:
Kinki at Customs House | 6533 3471
What to order:
The main restaurant has a superb view of
the Marina Bay skyline and waterfront, and the interiors are
all funky murals and pumping beats – nothing traditional or
Zen here. Kick off with Japanese fusion cocktails like the
wasabi-infused Spicy Hachimitsu ($18) or the
ume
mojito
($18). Food-wise, there’s foie gras and scallop sushi ($22)
and small lettuce wraps of Wagyu veggie sushi ($38). The
delicious Hot Dynamite
maki
with yellowtail and salmon
($20) and the
unagi
Hokkaido scallop
maki
($28) come
deep-fried; truffle oil is drizzled over slivers of sea bream
in the
tai carpaccio
($32). Vegetarian
okonomiyaki
($25)
is crispy toasted baguette topped with tomatoes, shiitake,
eggplant, spinach and mozzarella and laden with mayo
and sweet-and-sour sauce. Popular with the after-work city
slickers, Kinki’s rooftop bar buzzes at the weekday Happy
Hour, where wines, beers and house spirits are one-for-one.
