Epicure Singapore - August 2024

En este asunto

In this issue of Epicure (Singapore), we explore how inventive restaurateurs and chefs in Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Manila are redefining modern Asian cuisine - with a deep connection to their ingredients along with a touch of nostalgia. Find out how the chefs of Akar Dining (KL), ESA (Jakarta) and Hapag (Manila) have refined their respective menus with distinctive flair.

Over in Seoul, the drinking scene continues to intrigue us. We spotlight a pioneering makgeolli brewery that is using cutting-edge brewing techniques. And meet Seoul’s female bartenders who are pushing boundaries and reshaping the industry’s drinking culture.

We also recommend a number of restaurants, cafes and bars to have on your radar located in Melbourne’s laneways, London's glamorous Mayfair enclave and Bangkok’s upscale Pathum Wan district.
