Preludio and Lerouy
Author’s cuisine restaurant Preludio is launching a series of collaborative dinners. They’re still on the “monochrome” chapter, so participating chefs will be cooking alongside chef-owner Fernando Arevalo to present dishes in black and white. The no-holds-barred dinners will see chefs interpreting the theme in their own way, and first on the line-up is modern French chef Christophe Lerouy of the eponymous restaurant Lerouy. A menu hasn’t been released yet, but both chefs have a deft hand for seasoning and intriguing ingredient combinations — so it’s going to be a meal to behold.
8 courses at $238. Happening 6 May
182 Cecil St, #03-01/02 Frasers Tower. Tel: 6904-5686
Maggie Joan’s and Portland Restaurant
Eat your way through the British Isles with the upcoming collaboration at crowd favourite Maggie Joan’s. Cooking beside the restaurant’s Scottish-born Seumas Smith will be Zach Elliott-Crenn of the one Michelin-starred Portland Restaurant in London. Happening for just two days, the produce-driven menu will feature ingredients from both chefs’ home country including Cornish pollock and gouda; and beef from the highlands of Scotland. Expect dishes like Smith’s duck breast with radicchio, apricot, date and olive oil purée; and Elliott-Crenn’s signature of cave-grown mushrooms with parmesan — the fungi boasts a firmer texture and stronger flavours thanks to the constant humidity and low temperatures of its provenance.
8 courses at $140. Happening 8 and 9 May.
110 Amoy St, #01-01. Tel: 6221-5564
Curate and Restaurant Ryuzu
The latest installment of Art at CURATE will feature Japanese chef Ryuta Iizuka of the two-Michelin starred, Restaurant Ryuzu in Roppongi Tokyo. Expect classical French dishes with Japanese influence and ingredients. On the menu will be Iizuka’s signature shiitake mushroom tart, as well as something created just for this installment of Art at CURATE — poached grouper with sudachi (an aromatic Japanese citrus). Meanwhile, resident chef Benjamin Halat will be presenting a modern spin on German dishes including Hokkaido scallops with sauerkraut, pork terrine, and chives.
4-course lunch at $138; 8-course dinner at $308. Happening 10-16 May.
26 Sentosa Gateway The Forum, #01-231 & 232. Tel: 6577-7288
Jeremmy and Friends
Second in the current supper series at Le Binchotan sees Fat Lulu’s chef Sam Chablani contributing a BBQ platter to the menu. The platter comes with a Fat Lulu’s favourite — Iberico pork “Sataytay”, chicken wings, and a Vietnamese-inspired Phu Quoc pork ribs. To provide some contrast to all that grilled meat, he’ll also be serving an arguably more healthy deep-fried vegetable chips. Meanwhile, Jeremmy will be serving up his notorious Hokkien mee alongside a helping of hearty beef short rib dumplings.
Set of both chef’s dishes at $35. Happening 9-11 May, 9.30pm-12am
115 Amoy St, #01-04, Entrance via, Gemmill Lane. Tel: 6224-1045
