Omakase (17 course at $148++). This is a new restaurant along Telok Ayer, serving omakase that's first of its kind in Singapore. Expect refined and contemporary Central Asian reimagined from The Silk Road’s gastronomic trail, from Southern Italy to Western China. 🔸 For my omakase, I was seated around a chic dining area complete with a custom-built grill pit. As with many omakase, food were prepared before very eyes, and every diner during my dinner were personally served by the chefs, as they talked about the inspiration behind each dish. It's an intimate experience, in a boldly playful atmosphere. 🔸 The food incorporated unique spin to traditional dishes, using familiar South-east Asian flavours. I share about the food in subsequent posts, but meanwhile here's 4 of the dishes served during my 17 course omakase: * Smoked Herring - a delicate filo pastry with horseradish mash topped with smoked herring; * Lamb Samsa Cones - A local favourite (typically enjoyed in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan) traditionally served as a baked pasty filled with meat. The Nomads served them in cones coated with coffee sugar, and filled with top quality lamb tartare of fresh Mottainai lamb short loin (considered the ‘wagyu’ of lamb). The lamb is light, clean and naturally sweet. * Nan with Hunter-Gatherer’s Butter - a traditional Kazakhstan-style bread (known as patir or lepeshka). It was warm, fluffy and perfumed by thyme, and was served with seaweed butter and foie gras butter (at times wagyu beef fat instead of foie gras butter); * Maitake Mushrooms; seasoned with earthy Khmeli Suneli spices, grilled with tahini and sesame seeds 🔸 Certainly an exceptional dining experience, in terms of food, service, and ambience. There there were many more personal highlights, which I'll share about separately. 🔸🔸 [Tasting] #TheNomadsSG #silkroadcuisine #foodphotography #fujifilm #burpple #singaporefood #sgfoodies #sgfood #foodsg #instasg #foodstagram #instafood #instafood_sg #f52grams #hungrygowhere #cafesg #sgfoodblogger #vscofood #sgig #cafehoppingsg #eeeeeats #burpplesg #petitfours #centralasia #lovefood #chefstable #beautifulcuisines #bonemarrow #omakase
