April 25, 2026 | Eat Drink Asia Team Last updated: August 20, 2026 We have always believed that a brilliant plate of Japanese curry is the ultimate culinary hug. Over the past eight months, we made it our personal mission to embark on a comprehensive culinary journey across Singapore, hunting down the absolute best bowls…
There’s a container of rice at the back of my fridge most weeks. Cold, a little hard, forgotten from a dinner two nights ago. Some people see that and think of waste. I see the start of something better. Because leftover rice doesn’t want to be reheated. It wants to be fried. And when it…
There’s a specific kind of hunger that a chirashi don answers. It’s not the hunger for a full sushi omakase, with its slow ceremony and its quiet counter watching. And it’s not the hunger for something thrown together and forgotten by three o’clock. It sits somewhere in between — fish and rice in one bowl,…
As you step behind the humble noren curtain, you’re greeted by glowing lanterns, sizzling charcoal-grilled skewers, and warm welcomes. This is izakaya, Japan’s casual pub, a vibrant part of Singapore’s dining scene. More than just yakitori and sake, izakayas offer a lively setting for social drinking and dining, perfect for fans of Japanese culture. Dating back…
May 9, 2026 | Eda Wong | Last Updated August 13, 2026 I have spent the last six months navigating the tight corridors and bustling walkways of Fortune Centre, determined to map out its legendary food scene.

It was close to nine on a Friday when I finally found the door. Tanjong Pagar was doing its usual thing, full tables spilling onto five-foot ways, soju bottles catching the light, someone laughing too loudly two doors down. I almost walked past Todamgol. Then the smell reached me. Fermented, smoky, a little sharp. The…
The first time I ordered kimchi jjigae in Singapore, I made a small mistake. It came bubbling in a stone pot, and I ate it like soup, spoonful after spoonful, straight down, until my mouth was on fire and the bowl was half gone. The auntie across the counter watched me for a moment, then…
I used to think lunch in the CBD was a lost cause. You get an hour, maybe less. The lift takes ten minutes just to reach the ground floor. By the time you’ve queued, ordered, and found a corner to eat in, you’re already checking the clock. For a while, I gave up and just…
I didn’t expect to find Korean comfort food in an office building near Tai Seng. But there I was, on a Wednesday a little past 7pm, standing outside The Commerze @ Irving wondering if I’d read the address wrong. This isn’t the part of Singapore you go to for dinner. It’s the part you leave…
