Happy Monday everyone! A while ago, I took part on a 8DAYSeat Food Trail to CHIJMES with a group of foodies. There were a total of 12 participating outlets including EL MERO MERO, Dimbulah, Harry’s, Here & There, Shirokiya, Ikkousha Hakata Ramen, Oyster Bar & Wine Dining wharf, Paprika & Cumin, prive, Tatsu, Toast Box and Tonkatsu & Sake Bar Tonzaemon. We were divided into three different groups to visit some of the F&B outlets.

…….. Here & There ……..

Straddling the hours from lunch through to dinner, Here & There is a Japanese-leaning modern Asian gastropub where dining concept is going with an all-day small plates bistro dining and cafe grub menu. This cool place has a contemporary take on traditional kushiyaki (grilled skewers). We had a Kushiyaki Set which comes with tzatziki ginger chicken, char siew pork belly, foie gras & wagyu, spicy miso eggplant.

The mami truffle fries light on the fragrance and can be ordered to accompany a people watching drink at the pretty alfresco area. The champagne miso cod on a bed of barley popcorn & asparagus risotto is a unanimous hit – a yummy dish executed perfectly. Cooked in a champagne beurre-blanc,nit is flavourful and creamy, topped with frizzled ginger. They’ve got imported oysters, foie gras & wagyu skewers and an addictive umami spicy garlic miso pork belly dish, too.

…….. TATSU ……..

Sushi joint by day and teppanyaki bar by night, Tatsu is probably my favourite restaurant in CHIJMES (simply because I am a teppanyaki lover). They’ve got a selection of assorted teppanyaki meats and seafood, including indulgent ingredients like live lobsters (market price) and their signature flambé wagyu beef teppan-style. Ignite your senses at Tatsu! Watch our Teppanyaki Chefs perform and flambe right in front of you while you feast on your sumptuous meal! I will be back for more.

……… HARRY’S ………

Unit: #01-14
Tel: +65 6337 0618

Harry’s, the cosy bar and dining establishment is home for many – the sports fanatic friends cheering on their favourite teams in the live telecast, colleagues unwinding over a couple of chilled beers and delicious bites, friends hanging out for the night, and even families spending quality time in a cosy setting.

Harry’s dining menu also features a range of delectable treats including Love Me Tandoor – chicken skewers marinated with a feisty tandoori blend and grilled to a smoky char, and Harry’s Wingmen – very crisp and hot skin revealing tender juicy meat. The Prawn Star Pasta offers juicy tiger prawns with pasta tossed in crustaceans-infused oil and topped with Japanese seaweed. The chic and casual bar also offers a selection of quality brews, including their very own Harry’s Premium Lager.

Food coma after the entire trail. Thank you CHIJMES and 8 Days for having me! Check out the 8 DAYS Eat app for more handpicked Singapore eateries – from hipster joints to hawker stalls – that will point you toward the shiokest dining experiences.
