STARTERS
1 MAGURO PIZZA
Hanami Fusion food gets a bad rap, but this globe-trotting starter hit all the right notes. Hanami’s signature starter was a lighton-its-feet combination of ruby-hued tuna sashimi, cherry tomatoes, pickled onion and a delicate kimchi cream, artfully arranged over a crisp tortilla base.

2 AUBERGINE MILLE-FEUILLE
Nammos
If you try nothing else on Nammos’ menu of high-end Mediterranean cuisine, try the aubergine mille-feuille. The thin spheres of eggplant were delicately coated in batter, well-seasoned, and slathered in feta cream cheese so tasty that we were tempted to lick the sharing plate.

3 TRUFFLE AND MUSHROOM ARANCINI
Bull and Bear
Arancini appetisers often feels like an afterthought with little care and attention given to them. That’s not the case with Bull and Bear’s rendition. The team has dedicated time to perfecting this simple appetiser and the result is a wellbalanced, treat. The cheese is perfectly stretchy and melted while the hint of truffle emulsion adds a touch of richness.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER
This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
