We had some tapa, paired with The Macallan whisky to go with.

SURAME IKA ($15++)
Whole Japanese Squid
It was not too chewy and quite flavourful with the teriyaki sauce on top.
The dish was paired with The Macallan Fine Oak 12 Years Old whisky, which was made with American oak ex Bourbon casks, sherry seasoned European oak casks, and sherry seasoned American oak casks.
The whisky
smelt complex, with a hint of fruit and vanilla,
tasted medium, balanced with fruit, oak and spice,
finished with lingering, with dried fruits, oak and spice.

SAKE ($8++/ 2 skewers)
Cooked Salmon
I was surprised that I was could not taste the too salty part that was covered with sea salt on the salmon. The whisky helped to dull the saltiness.
The dish was paired with The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old, which was made with 100% sherry seasoned American and European oak.
The whisky
smelt of creamy butterscotch, toffe, candied orange, vanilla custard and newly felled oak,
tasted balanced, honey sweetness, citrus & caramel,
finished with oak lingers, warm, sweet & drying

Beef ball Skewers
The meatballs were big and juicy, topped with flavourful sauce. The whisky help to cover the gamy taste from the beef.
The dish was paired with The Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Years Old, which was made with Spanish sherry oak casks.
The whisky
smelt of vanilla with a hint of ginger, dried fruits, sherry sweetness and wood smoke,
tasted deliciously smooth, rich dried fruits balanced with wood smoke and spice,
finished with sweet toffee and dried fruits, with wood smoke and spice

Tempura Maki
Although it looked like a big chunk of rice roll, thinly covered with tempura, the flavoured sauce made the simple looking dish tasted yummy. The tempura was light and crisp. Having it with whisky, dull the strong flavoured sauce. This dish was paired with The Macallan Rare Cask whisky which cost $500 a bottle. The whisky was crafted from 16 different cask styles and left a full and warming finish.
The whisky
smelt of opulent vanilla and raisin pique, giving way to a sweet ensemble of apple, lemon and orange, balanced by a spicy quartet of root ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove,
tasted timeless, polished, and rich, with vanilla and chocolate lead the finale along with a light citrus zest,
finished full and warming.
The clearing of the dishes were quite smooth and swift.

Have always been a fan of this joint, and my usual hangout place would be at the cuppage outlet but it just so happen that i was around changi area so my friend suggested that we try the changi branch one instead of travelling all the way down town!So I realised that this outlet is kinda different from the cuppage outlet and even the food serve is different!

Have always been a fan of this joint, and my usual hangout place would be at the cuppage outlet but it just so happen that i was around changi area so my friend suggested that we try the changi branch one instead of travelling all the way down town!

So I realised that this outlet is kinda different from the cuppage outlet and even the food serve is different! Which made me disappointed as i expected the tortilla chips to be on the menu. But anyway this is what we had that day!

Instead of the tortilla chips, we order the nachos with salsa and cheese dip. I would say i still prefer the tortilla chips! The nachos tasted like any regular ones that we can buy off shelve, not only that, the salsa dip tasted like just tomatoes in tomato sauce! Something i would never order again!

Next was the japanese garlic fried rice which taste very much like glutinous rice! I always like my rice to have more garlic, i think they could use more garlic the next time round.

So we ordered sides to go along with the rice, first up was the deep fried oyster and then the yakitori platter came. The oysters tasted okay but i presume they had used frozen ones instead of fresh ones. Like common sense who would use fresh oyster for deep frying, too much work and too costly.

YAKITORI PLATTER was delicious! the sauce is soooo good. As i always like to go for the chicken balls first, and from there i would judge whether is it good or not. And this platter really left me speechless. BEST FOR THE NIGHT. Needless to say much, you just have to go down and try it for yourself!
