What makes this Japanese dining experience stand out \u2013 aside from its moreish courses \u2013 are the quirks that reflect the chef\u2019s diverse interests. Think: vibrant menu designs created by the man behind the restaurant (he was once keen on a career in art and design), and an eclectic Spotify playlist that is unique to this compact space (put together by the chef himself). Chef Hashida isn\u2019t on duty every night as he shuttles between Singapore and Japan, but his well-trained chefs promise a delectable meal and an entertaining time.<\/p>\n<p>How does the food stack up? The menu is said to be bound by the element of oil (or abura), an essential but not frequently highlighted ingredient in cooking. The varied use of exquisite oils comes across in Abura Kappo\u2019s courses in a subtle way that elevates, but doesn\u2019t outshine each ingredient it\u2019s combined with \u2013 from the grease-free tempura to the aromatic spring onion oil in its broths. Take a peek at the highlights of its extensive 13-course menu\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Say cheese\u2026 with beets and kinome leaf<\/h3>\n<p>The gastronomy begins with a series of delicate, photo-worthy bites that marry unexpected flavours. Take, for instance, the Monaka (pictured top), featuring creamy egg custard steamed with Danish blue cheese (don\u2019t worry, it wasn\u2019t overpowering), umami-rich mushroom sauce, and 30-month-aged Comt\u00e9 cheese sandwiched between crispy monaka wafers. Topped with spheres of beetroot and daikon, this pretty morsel juxtaposes sweet and refreshing ingredients with the savoury.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_291994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-291994\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-291994 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Abura-review-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Hashida Abura review\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Abura-review-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Abura-review-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Abura-review.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-291994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Camembert is another one for the cheese lover. The richness of Camembert cheese is complemented by the citrusy and minty fragrance of the kinome leaf, fried in tempura batter for a delightful crunch.

How about consomm\u00e9 and dine, \u2018cos instead of vino, Abura Kappo serves tuna consomm\u00e9 in a wine glass, with a few drops of spring onion oil that the chef delicately drops in with a pipette. Give it a good swirl and resist the urge to down it all at once. Made with a medley of ingredients (including bluefin tuna, leek and carrots) and simmered for four hours, this cold consomm\u00e9 is meant to be sipped alongside the next two dishes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_291996\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-291996\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-291996 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Singapore-review-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Hashida Abura Singapore review\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Singapore-review-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Singapore-review-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Singapore-review.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-291996\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Managatsuo boasts the crispy goodness of Japanese silver pomfret, coated in tempura batter and deep-fried to golden perfection, served with tempura sauce and house-made onion sauce for your choosing (we loved the latter). Pair it with the consomm\u00e9 for the natural sweetness of the fish to shine through.<\/p>\n<p>Follow that up with the ebi toast. Expect a bite reminiscent of Hong Kong prawn toast, made with Japanese flair. House-made tamagoyaki and prawn paste are fried with toast, providing a satisfying mouthful that\u2019s crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The final sip of tuna consomm\u00e9 is a refreshing palate cleanser that cuts through any heaviness.<\/p>\n<h3>Fruity condiments meet savoury eats<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_291999\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-291999\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-291999 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Abura-Singapore-review-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Hashida Abura - Japanese restaurant Singapore review\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Abura-Singapore-review-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Abura-Singapore-review-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Hashida-Abura-Singapore-review.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-291999\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The chef\u2019s penchant for mixing the saccharine and salty takes centre stage in the upcoming courses. There\u2019s fried Hokkaido Tokachi wagyu topped with balsamic vinegar and pomegranate sauce; as well as hotaru ika salad with seafood and a tangy kiwi sauce. Each dish presents a melange of colours and textures, with flavour combinations that deliver like a dream.<\/p>\n<h3>Mid-meal interludes<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t let the minimalist decor fool you \u2013 this restaurant has more character than you\u2019d think. The mid-meal break is marked by the emergence of a print-out designed to look like those missing pet flyers at local void decks, asking if anyone has seen the chef\u2019s fish. (The number actually works: call and you\u2019ll be booking your next seat for this 13-course meal.)<\/p>\n<p>A surprisingly eclectic playlist and other jovial antics make for a delightfully entertaining time. Gimmicky? Perhaps. But fun? Absolutely.<\/p>\n<h3>A whirlwind spin on Japanese classics<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_292000\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-292000\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-292000 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Abura-Kappo-restaurant-review-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Abura Kappo Japanese restaurant Singapore review\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Abura-Kappo-restaurant-review-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Abura-Kappo-restaurant-review-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Abura-Kappo-restaurant-review.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-292000\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We think the next few plates were a masterclass in shaking up well-known Japanese classics with contemporary flair.

The succession of unexpected ingredient combinations continues with the last course. Shiitake chocolate is paired with vanilla ice cream, finished with mushroom chocolate shavings and a dash of chilli oil, and served with Japanese dried persimmon stuffed with matcha ice cream. For such a unique dessert, you\u2019d think that it\u2019s an acquired taste. But no, the flavours were surprisingly mild and tantalisingly harmonious.<\/p>\n<p>We won\u2019t spoil the entire menu. But one thing\u2019s for sure: this hidden restaurant-in-a-restaurant offers much more than just your standard Japanese fare. It\u2019s a culinary journey that\u2019s laid-back yet entertaining, unexpected yet delicious. At $200++ per pax, it\u2019s certainly not your everyday meal, but it\u2019s worth booking if you want to turn your next special occasion meal into an unforgettable one.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/hashida.sg\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Abura Kappo, Hashida<\/a>, 77 Amoy Street, Singapore 069896<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a Japanese restaurant decked out in understated earthy hues, tucked away along the busy Amoy Street.
