Epicure Singapore - March 2024

في هذه القضية

In this issue of Epicure, we shine the spotlight on hanwoo or Korean beef and learn why this product has become so sought after. Singapore’s dining scene recently welcomed several newcomers offering elegant Korean barbecue experiences. We spoke to the chefs and restaurateurs behind these new ventures on their desire to showcase their Korean food culture to Singapore and the rest of the world. In this issue, we also find out what some of Asia’s top chefs do when they travel together and collaborate under one roof. Whether it's for a special eight-hands dinner in Bangkok or a one-of-a-kind gourmet retreat in Karuizawa, their camaraderie shines through. Each chef’s creativity also gets ignited as they get new inspirations from their travels. In the drinks scene, we dive into revolutionary cocktail techniques – christened ‘Percolations’ as well as precision craftsmanship in Japanese cocktail-making. We also recommend some of the finest restaurants across Asia: from Tokyo, Siem Reap and Koh Samui to Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
