I am invited to a preview of this new place. It is a 3-in-1 concept by The General Company (the same folks behind Tyrwhitt General Company) and Architology which consists of
a kitchen serving yakitori on the first floor,
a bespoke cocktail bar on the second floor, manned by head bartender Eugene Chua (formerly from Ah Sam Cold Drink Stall ),
A workspace area for craftsman or designer on the third floor.
The workspace area is quite interesting as it is used to conduct workshops with trainers sometimes fly in from overseas. There is living room, workstation area, craft area where silk screen artwork is done and a glass room for heavy noisy stuffs such as hammering.
When we reach the first floor, the beauiful mural painting captured everyone's attention.
The stools by the wall are very unique too, with wheel like structure under them.
The dining in area has a simple and clean look, surrounded by unqiue stools around.
Menu is a stack of papers held by a wooden clip board.

Classic chicken thigh on a skewer, marinated and grilled, juicy and tender, glazed with home-made tare sauce.
Tastes a bit too salty for me, although it is tender.

Dry cured then traditionally roasted pork belly slab, moist and tender meat, crispy crackling skin, served with house-made fermented bean curd sauce & roasted sesame seeds.
Prefer the skin to be more crispy crackling. The fat is lacking of the melt in the mouth texture.

24 hour marinated beef skirt steak, rich & fragrant yellow pear & soy marinade with aromatics, grilled till tender, served with roasted garlic puree or honey whole grain mustard.
The steak is served middle rare and some may feel it is a bit raw. It is quite tender and flavourful.

Flavourful Japanese Rice, slow-cooked and shredded pork collar with a brown sugar glaze, signature 1 minute "Onsen" egg, soy & sherry prickled shiitakes, pickled ginger, topped with tare sauce
Although each of the items tastes quite salty on their own, when mixed together, it actually tastes quite nice.

Overall the food is average and the menu is limited. But it is just the preview and there is more to come. Quite an interesting concept place. I can imagine that it will be super popular when it opens for business
