150 Orchard Rd, #02-25 Orchard Plaza

Hidden, cosy, intimate yet friendly - a few key words to describe Bisto De Le Pin. Chef Shigeru has operated this small eatery for 5 years, and the passion he has for food and life comes to the forefront of this small eatery. He is personable, approachable and makes the night a delightful affair.

The food is delicate, flavourful and lovingly prepared. The combination of the flavours and textures in the Omakase were an absolute pleasure to eat. Particular highlights for me were Tuna Tartare (not part of the Omakase) and the numerous nigiri/sashimi. The decor is rustic, a little homely but not refined - although that adds to the charm. (He will soon move to a bigger unit on the ground floor though)

I had a wonderful evening and immensely enjoyed the food, the most you could ever ask for. It really is a little slice of Japan in the heart of Singapore.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

$ - Inexpensive $$ - Moderate $$$ - Exorbitant

This all about the meals that have left an interminable impression on me. Instead of reviewing every eatery I come across (there are more than enough websites that do that), I'll only be writing about places I enjoy, that I've repeatedly visited and personally feel that it's worth your time to check out too. By definition, all these eateries will be 4/5 stars on my old rating system so won't need a ranking. I will indicate the price.
