Koma Singapore | Modern Japanese Restaurant at Marina Bay Singapore

ABBEY: Yey! We got a reservation at Koma. The booking have a long list. You need to reserve your table two months ahead. We went there on Christmas Day. Entering the restaurant and walking to your table will transport you a place in Japan. There are tori gates as well as large bell. You will not remember you’re inside a mall. The ambiance got a homey and quiet feel. 

We tried their California maki and I got barbecued beef short ribs for main. The beef is tender and the sauce is not that sweet. Perfect to be folded inside lettuce. 

Recommended to be tried but I’m not that much of a fan.

WILL: Booking Koma is pretty tedious task for me. I ended up to be on a waiting list… TWICE! Huhu! I marked my calendar and on the first hour they opened the reservation for 25th December, I straight away get the 1130am lunch. 

When we saw the their festive menu, without second thoughts we chose to have an ala carte meal instead. I ordered, Spicy Tofu Hot Pot. 

I am a sucker for spicy food last December. Well, blame it to my hormones. Haha. Taste? Not bad but quite more than okay. It supplied a dose of spice for my day! Haha! It actually can serve for 2pax. California Maki is just normal but their wasabi is outstanding. 

Beside the food, people are queuing for Koma at MBS to somewhat feel the ambiance of Japan. Guests will be welcomed by orange arches, a reminiscent of the Fushimi Inari Shrine. The huge dining room complements the 2.5m tall “FACE Japanese bell", which presides above a traditional Japanese foot bridge. 

Well who can beat that? Haha.

Keyaki Japanese Restaurant at Pan Pacific | Top Japanese Restaurant Singapore

ABBEY: Dinner at Keyaki is our last hurrah for our 10th wedding anniversary. It is one of the top Japanese restaurants in Singapore and we booked for their 6-course dinner. 

The ambiance of the place is like on the movies set in Japan and the music is low almost quiet and then you will just wait for the samurais to come in for action to begin :) 

All the items are carefully crafted and the presentation is superb. You’ll get excited when the next item will arrive and how will it arrive. I really like the teapot soup, wagyu beef shank and the sashimi (good wasabi).

A great way to wrap up our milestone. 

WILL: 10th year celebration isn’t over! We are thankful for Citibank’s 1-for-1 deal and we got the chance to tick off Keyaki out of our must to eat list.

So what is rave about this Keyaki Restaurant located at Pan Pacific Hotel? Since the travel restriction implemented people are looking on ways to feel that they are somewhat outside the country. And behold! Keyaki has this minka (traditional Japanese house) and before you reached the restaurant, you will be welcomed by torii gate, zen garden, and koi pond. Once you entered the restaurant you will be amazed on the woodworks inside. Indeed! It is like traveling to Japan minus the weather. Hehe.

On food! Yes! I am delighted of their appetizer! It is fresh and hello there firefly squid! What really notable is their soup! Soup is presented in a pot and it quite uncommon for me(sorry) haha. It reminds me playing this kind of claypot when I am at age of 5. And on this 3rd course.. I am already full. Haha!

Beef shank is tender and there is a momentous amount egg yolk sauce on the grilled sea food. Yummmy!

No contest.. Keyaki is one of the top notch Japanese restaurant here in Singapore! They will make you really feel, see and taste that you are in Japan!
