Though we have so many gyoza places in Singapore, only a few can really claim that they are authentic. So, if you’re sick and tired of searching for the best gyoza in town, then we’d like to introduce you to Osaka Ohsho, Japan’s gyoza specialist since 1969.

Just recently, it opened its very first outlet in Singapore. Tucked inside Raffles City’s basement, Osaka Ohsho offers diners with handmade gyozas, plus a whole lot more Japanese and Chuka (Chinese) dishes.For starters, have their most famous item on the menu, Gyoza ($7.80 for 12 pieces). What makes their version different from the rest is the skin, which is made from thin wanton skin prepared fresh daily with Japanese flour. Its filling is made of tender pork shoulder, leg cuts, cabbage, garlic, and ginger.

The Halia Restaurant has a lot to celebrate. Just recently, their outlet at the Singapore Botanic Gardens celebrated its 11th anniversary. Next up, they opened their 2nd outlet at the iconic Raffles Hotel. Newsflash, foodies: The Halia at Raffles Hotel is the first home-grown brand to set foot in the country’s iconic hotel. For small plate teasers, indulge in options which include the vegetarian Celeriac Lasagna ($12++), Foie Gras Salad ($23++), Oriental Pulled Duck ($18++), and the Confit Salmon ($16++). If you want our recommendation, you can start with the salad, which is a semi-healthy but tasty offering of apricot, chutney, candied ginger pecan, blueberry, and croutons.

Turning one is a grand affair and Loola's understands that very well. The semi-fine dining eatery by Awfully Chocolate specialises in contemporary European dishes with Asian touches and recently introduced several new dishes to its already extensive menu – all in the name of celebrating its first anniversary! A whole smorgasbord of starters have been added to the menu and items include Spiced Pumpkin Soup ($12) and Roasted Squash Salad ($18), but if you want a little bit of everything – or if you’re just plain indecisive – Loola’s Board ($32) makes a great choice. It’s full of light bites such as Miso Roasted Garlic Cloves, Baked Cherry Tomatoes, Dates with Serrano Ham, Grilled Octopus (goes great with the accompanying pesto sauce), and sinful Bone Marrow to spread on crunchy Garlic Crostini.
