SINGAPORE
What Cheek
Those saddened by the closure of the Michelin-starred Cheek by Jowl in Singapore can now head to Cheek Bistro on Boon Tat Street. Here,
diners can savour what Chef Rishi Naleendra and his wife Manuela Toniolo have done in this modern Australian restaurant. While its previous
incarnation focused on prix fixe menus, Bistro combines a casual dining atmosphere with bold and playful dishes that come in small to large
sharing plates. Start your meal with the signature waffle with a choice of chicken liver parfait or whipped ricotta with date jam and pickled
mustard, followed by light servings of creamy burrata with heirloom tomatoes. Then move on to meatier selections like smoked duck breast
with braised endive and carrot; Iberico chops with apple, black cabbage and white turnip; or T-bone or rib-eye steaks. Don’t skip out on the
Goat’s Cheese Parfait, served with dehydrated white chocolate and frozen strawberry crumbs, before calling it a day.
