Vue

Healthy binchotan-grilled food without packing the calories – and at an affordable price. $50-$120 per person.

Here’s a tasty and guilt-free menu, where meats and seafood are binchotan-grilled over kilned Japanese white oak that burns slower (sans charred flavour), and produces no flame and smoke. What’s really good at Vue is the tender Grilled Chicken Breast ($40) with sauteed Brussels sprouts and chicken jus crowned with slices of shaved black truffle.

Executive chef Sam Chin hand-picks the ingredients in every dish. He says: “We use chicken breast instead of chicken thigh because we want diners to enjoy their food without worrying about the calories.”

Another highlight on the menu is the “Kokuou” Black Wagyu Ribeye ($108). The grass-fed beef from Kyushu Island is lightly seasoned with rice salt flakes and served with onion marmalade, potato mash, and red wine and beef jus reduction. Finish the satisfying main with the refreshing Prickly Pear ($12) dessert of mint olive jelly, fruit cubes and strawberry sorbet.

And drinks? Vue has a range of citrusy, bubbly aperitifs. A favourite is the Reiwa Highball ($18) with an umeshu and Appleton rum base. The drinks come with free-flow canapes, including truffle potato mash.
