There are quite a couple of dining changes to National Gallery this year and one of the new openings is\u00a0Gilmore & Damian D\u2019Silva, a premium casual restaurant by OUE Restaurants and Chef Damian, housed within the National Gallery Singapore, in the former Supreme Court wing.\u00a0The menu at Gilmore & Damian D\u2019Silva\u00a0predominantly showcases\u00a0dishes prepared from heirloom Eurasian recipes \u2013 some dating back more than 200 years, while the rest are Chinese dishes inspired by Granddad\u2019s home-cooked dishes. The dishes are designed for sharing, and the Nourishing\u00a0Chicken Soup\u00a0In\u00a0Coconut\u00a0is our favourite dish. [Read more here for our full review<\/a>]\u00a0

<\/figure>\nSushidan\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>
There is always something new at Raffles City and the latest dining concept to open at the mall is\u00a0Sushidan\u00a0by Chef Hiroyuki Sato, chef-founder of\u00a0Hakkoku\u00a0and former head chef of the Michelin-starred Sushi\u00a0Tokami\u00a0from Japan.\u00a0Chef Hiroyuki Sato\u00a0brings his acclaimed Edomae sushi experience to Singapore at an accessible price, offering\u00a0\u00e0 la carte sushi from S$1.99, sashimi from S$2.99 and omakase from S$19.90. At this price point, this is quite a new price point for an omakase dining in Singapore if you want to experience what a traditional Edomae\u00a0omakase is like.

<\/figure>\nBomul Samgyetang<\/strong>
We all love our\u00a0Samgyetang, also known as Korean Ginseng Chicken soup. Meet\u00a0Bomul Samgyetang, a new casual Korean restaurant located in CHIJMES. Bomul\u00a0Samgyetang\u00a0boasts the largest range of\u00a0samgyetang\u00a0in Singapore, with 10 variations of the soup: from detoxification to spicy cure, collagen-rich, anti-ageing, rejuvenation, vitality, and even modern interpretations such as black truffle.

<\/figure>\nLa Stanza\u00a0<\/strong>
Literally translating to \u201cthe room\u201d in Italian,\u00a0La Stanza\u00a0is not quite the typical dining restaurant concept in Singapore. For one, its location is quite a secret one, where it is a concept by\u00a0Scarpetta<\/a>, though a totally separate one. Stepping into La Stanza is like entering someone\u2019s very masculine and sleek dining room, as the space is decked in dark tones \u2013 yet it is still very elegant and welcoming. And here\u2019s the concept behind La Stanza \u2013 it is a private space created for friends and family of the team, and I was lucky to be considered a friend of Scarpetta, and hence I had the chance to dine here. That aside, it is also a space for the chefs to go big on their creative juices and not be bounded by cuisine types and what\u2019s not. It is helmed by Chef Danny Ng, previously the head chef at The Cicheti Group. The Wagyu Sando is one of the best I have had in Singapore. [Read more here for our full review<\/a>]\u00a0

<\/figure>\nThe Velvet Cut<\/strong>
A new steakhouse Muslim-owned steakhouse concept in Joo Chiat, The Velvet Cut is by The Malayan Council,\u00a0and it focuses on dry-aged beef on its menu. The space of the restaurant is cosy and you can also expect non-beef items such as fish and chicken, complemented by sides like Mac & Cheese and starters such as Bone Marrow.

<\/figure>\nBuzzing Restaurants<\/span><\/h2>\nQIN Restaurant\u00a0And\u00a0Bar Unveils New Menu\u00a0By\u00a0Chef Marvas Ng\u00a0<\/strong>
Chef Marvas is not an unfamiliar name in the local culinary scene as he brings over his culinary experience from Path to QIN. The whole menu at QIN now takes on a modern Chinese concept where the presentation of the dishes are more refined than our previous impression of QIN, though it is not meant to be a fine-dining restaurant per se. Ingredients are mainly local and Malaysian produces. The\u00a0Shanghainese Hairy Crab Roe \u201cDou\u00a0Hua\u201dwith\u00a0Brown Crab, Pickle Chili, Local Soy Curd \u2013 still one of our\u00a0favourites\u00a0as this is one of chef\u00a0Marvas\u2019s\u00a0signatures back in his Path days. For meats, expect the likes of Straits Line Caught Local Threadfin \u201cQing Zhen\u201d \u2013 Tubers, Canton Style Shallot Soy Vinaigrette.\u00a0
