Yun Ga Traditional Korean Restaurant is one of the more popular and well-known eateries in Katong V, and for good reason. The wide variety of Korean fare it serves is said to be authentic and delicious, and that’s enough to keep its patrons coming back.

And should you choose to have a K-BBQ feast, you can order the likes of 2 Kinds of Wagyu Beef ($88++) and Black Pork Belly ($38++).

A good burrata adds a burst of richness and creaminess to whatever ingredient it is on top of, whether it be pasta or meat. Burrata Joy & Gustavo Lapasta’s offerings are centred around this cheese, and if fans of the place are to be trusted, the restaurant delivers the kind of burrata I was talking about earlier.
Start with a treat such as the Cold Cut Platter ($19++), which consists of mortadella ham, salami, and parma ham, and be sure to add Burrata (from $9++) on top of it. Then, move on to mains including Aglio Olio ($16++) or Alfredo Peas and Chicken ($22++), ideally with some burrata on top, too. And should you choose, get some Tiramisu ($12++) to top off the meal nicely.

Tomi Sushi is known for its high-quality, authentic sushi that uses excellent ingredients. In addition to its wonderfully fresh seafood, the rice used here is Niigata Koshihikari rice, considered by many as the best in Japan. You can try a range of their immaculately crafted sushi in the Tokujyo Nigigi ($69++), which features the likes of maguro otoro, uni, and ikura. If you prefer to have these ingredients in donburi instead, go for the Jyo Chirashi ($44++).

East Manhattan also offers artisanal bread, but unlike Bread & Hearth, there’s no dining area for you to monch on those eats. That doesn’t mean the bread here is any less impressive, however. There are simple, wholesome, and plenty substantial bread such as the Sourdough Wholemeal Loaf ($13.80 for two pieces) here, along with more tantalising picks such as the Japanese Premium Cream Cheese Bread ($5.80 for two pieces) and the Matcha Croissant ($5.80). There is also the adorable Cube Loaf ($7.80), which come in flavours such as coffee and cranberry.

As its name suggests, Wine Mansion is known for having a collection of excellent wines for you to purchase. But if you’d like to wine and dine, there are a bunch of reliable eats here, too. There are 10-inch pizzas such as the classic Margherita ($16++) and Tom Yum Seafood ($24++), as well as hearty mains including Grilled Chicken ($18++), Beef Stew ($22++), and Harissa Baked Barramundi ($22++). If you’re mostly there to savour wine and would like lighter snacks, though, the Cheese Platter (from $24++) is a good pick.

The restaurant serves Peranakan-fusion that’s innovative yet accessible. Dishes such as the Braised Beef Rendang ($32++) and Slow-cooked Braised Beef Cheek with Buah Keluak ($38++) will undoubtedly appeal to fans of Peranakan food, while fusion picks including Deep Fried Nyonya “Crab Cakes” ($26++) will excite. There are also familiar local dishes here, such as Char Kway Teow ($18++) and Singapore Chicken Rice ($22++).
