Ginza Sushi Ichi - Best Michelin-Starred Sushi Omakase in Singapore

One-Michelin-Starred Ginza Sushi Ichi at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel might possibly offer the best sushi omakase in Singapore. The esteemed restaurant offers two types of omakase for dinner (starting from $220++). I usually go for sushi omakase as I'm a crazy huge fan of sushi, and I absolutely love Japanese rice! Walking into a Michelin-starred establishment, I had my expectations and I was really hoping that Ginza Sushi Ichi, an offshoot of the award-winning restaurant in Tokyo, will exceed my expectations. "Did they?" You might ask. Well, they certainly did.

The Best Food & Cafe Guide to Yeonnam-dong(Seoul)

Yeonnam-dong is where the cool kids go these days, because Hongdae and Samcheong-dong are way too packed with tourists.

As you walk along the streets of Yeonnam-dong, you'll see interesting sights such as people having a picnic on the lawn, and young bands doing their stuff. It's very much like the Hongdae back in 2012, just more vibrant and lively. If you're keen on a cafe-hopping day trip to Yeonnam-dong, this article is for you!

If you're a coffee-lover, like me, you'd be no stranger to names such as Nylon, Liberty, and Sarnies.
