Ise is one of the new entrants into this year’s Tokyo Michelin guide and it specializes in tempura. It has a pretty plain front and it is helmed by just a chef who is also the owner.

After making them from scratch, I decided this time to use some store-bought ones to compare with, so I got these from Rustichella.

To make risotto al funghi, the key ingredient to it is the porcini mushroom. It is the king of European mushrooms, known scientifically as boletus edulis, and the robust aroma of the dried porcini mushroom can be really so intense.

Singapura Seafood Restaurant is one of those old school Chinese restaurants still around in Singapore, and they specialise in Foochow cuisine. They’ve also been said to be the first ones in Singapore to introduce cold crab here.

This is my 2nd time eating at Nagomi and it’s still as good as the 1st time I visited them a year back. Very good for small intimate dinners or gatherings, and for those who want that authentic Japanese feel for their dining place. Appetizers Potato salad and fried salmon chunks. Simple but tasty!
