During my stay at @mo_singapore, I had a splendid lunch at Cherry Garden by Chef Fei where elevated Cantonese cuisine meets Teochew heritage! The restaurant reopened last year in collaboration with @cheffei_hjh who holds 2 Michelin Stars for his restaurant Jiang by Chef Fei in Guangzhou. Aside from Singapore, Chef Fei is also leading the Chinese restaurants at other MO properties in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Jakarta, Beijing and Bangkok. I had tried his food before in Shenzhen and was glad to be reunited with his signatures such as the poached threadfin fish with a delicious sauce and the impressive boneless crucian carp congee. Chef Fei also happened to be in town during my visit so I met him for the very first time in Singapore of all places!

The menu:

Poached squid with chili oil and pepper
红油鲜鱿鱼

Marinated jellyfish head with caviar
鱼子酱珊瑚花

Cantonese-style barbecued pork with honey
明炉玫瑰黑豚叉烧

Marinated celtuce with pickled chilli
冰爽刨椒脆士笋

Marinated radish with vinegar and soy sauce
胭脂樱桃萝卜

Double-boiled sea whelk soup with conpoy and basil
金不换干贝炖海螺汤

Seared Xisha Island lobster with creamy garlic sauce
风范西沙小青龙

Chaoshan-style poached threadfin fish with plum sauce
潮式梅汁煮午笋鱼

Sautéed diced Wagyu beef with Sichuan peppercorn
煎烹椒麻雪花和牛粒

Poached baby spinach with garlic
盐蒜高汤煮菠菜

Boneless crucian carp congee
挑战刀工极限无骨鲫鱼粥

In Fukuoka,「Yakitori Torila (焼き鳥 とりら)」feels like a place that has moved well beyond the usual idea of yakitori. The restaurant is fully reservation-only, extremely difficult to access, and has built a reputation as one of the city’s standout chicken counters, with repeated recognition in major dining awards and best-of lists.

Chef Munehiro Hirohata (広畑 宗大) curated the menu outward from the grill. Kousaka chicken sits at the center, treated with aging and careful fire control to draw out more sweetness, depth, and texture, but the experience extends beyond skewers into a full omakase that can include sashimi or sushi-style preparations, small plates, and ramen at the close.

The overall impression is not just technical, but immersive. The setting is intimate, the pacing is deliberate, and the meal unfolds with enough range to make chicken feel far more expansive than expected. In a city with no shortage of strong yakitori,「Yakitori Torila (焼き鳥 とりら)」has created a style that feels unmistakably its own.

I managed to get up to Glasgow a while ago and enjoy a terrific lunch at @unalomebygc Unalome by Graeme Cheevers.
Traditionally a Buddhist symbol, Unalome, is Chef Graeme Cheevers first solo venture providing a seasonal and modern European menu, that has been inspired by Japanese culture and cooking. I really enjoyed this meal and would urge you to pay them a visit if you’re in the area
