Kado revisited. Lucky enough to be served by Chef Jason himself this time around despite being super late (and thousand apologies again to LG’s friend). Had a not so optimal experience here before being served by another chef and thus … Continue reading →

IZAKAYA | ばくだん屋 (Bakudanya)

Posted on May 23, 2014 by The Lonely Gourmet's Thought for Food

WHISKY BAR | Nocturne

Posted on May 10, 2014 by The Lonely Gourmet's Thought for Food

Finally paid a visit to this much raved about joint by Japanese whisky lovers in town and indeed was worth the effort. Not only was being reassured that one of my favourites Hakushu ‘Heavily Peated’ will be available for a … Continue reading →

SAKE

Posted on May 1, 2014 by The Lonely Gourmet's Thought for Food

Night out with members of LG’s amazing karate class, comprised of a IWC sake judge, a sake sommelier and a sushi chef, at the very own restaurant of the latter. The two featured sake were 1) 伯楽星 殘響 “Super 9” … Continue reading →
