Waku Ghin
Chef Tetsuya Wakuda’s Singapore restaurant enjoys a long list of accolades. And while diners from around the world flock here for its degustation menu that highlights Japan’s freshest, seasonal ingredients, as well as exemplary service, key to their enjoyment is its notably accomodating service. The staff take the concept of omotoneshi (or Japanese hospitality) to heart, which is why they always put diners first.

Jiang-Nan Chun
Other than its sumptuous Cantonese dishes, the restaurant is also famous for its signature Peking Duck. It takes over 14 hours to prepare the duck, which includes grilling it in a customised mesquite oven until the skin is golden brown and the meat is succulent. For a modern spin, it's served with a dollop of caviar, alongside the ubiquitous wraps, sliced cucumber, sauce and sugar.

It may have moved to a new location at Oasia Hotel in Tanjong Pagar, but the culinary team, led by chef-owner Diego Chiarini, continues to dish out delicious, authentic Italian food that easily reminds diners of their trip to Italy.

8. Local Champion

Tatler Asia

Willin Low (Wild Rocket)

T Dining decided to create this new award to honour an individual who has uplifted Singapore’s dining scene through his or her unique contribution. This year’s winner is well known for putting modern Singaporean cuisine on the map, which in turn, has opened doors for a whole generation of younger chefs to continue to reinvent local cuisine. The lawyer-turned-chef coined the term mod-Sin (modern Singaporean) 12 years ago, to describe his contemporary, creative spin on local dishes. He continues to purvey his unique take at Wild Rocket with dishes such as the oxtail rendang pappardelle, ravioli of spanner crab and daun kesom in a laksa broth, and newer additions like a spinach salad dressed in palak paired with toasted squares of halloumi.
