A TRACE OF ASIAN

New head chef Toni Valero takes Spanish restaurant La Ventana down the fine-dining route. Instead of tapas, the El Celler de Can Roca alumnus dishes out modern European with Asian influences. The pan-seared Hokkaido scallop with miso biscuit crumble impresses with a puree of cauliflower accented with subtle pandan notes, paired with sparkling cava. #01-01, 16A Dempsey Road.

MEATS REDEFINED

Binchotan-grilled spring lamb is a must-have starter for diners at Wakanui Grill Dining. The Japanese franchise still offers New Zealand dry-aged beef and lamb in its new location at Marina One. The speciality Ocean beef here is grass- and grain-fed Angus, offering leanness and marbling for balanced flavour. The wine list see mostly New Zealand wines, sourced from boutique wineries. #04-02, Marina One The Heart West Tower.
