Grilled meat and seafood with a cheese dip. Yes, you heard that right. Ladyboy Mookata has been the talk of the town ever since videos of its gooey cheese and grilled-to-perfection meat went viral.

#4 Shabu Shabu Tajimaya
Price: From $33.90 per pax

#5 Steam Box
Price: $50 per pax
Hong Kong’s latest food trend “Steam-Potting” reached Singapore just last year. Rather than being boiled in good ol’ soup/broth, food is cooked in steamers over congee. As the fresh seafood, meat and vegetables are cooked, the juices drips right down into the congee- serving up an umami end to the meal.
