WHAT'S THE DRAW: A new late-night, intimate restaurant from Kurobuta head chef Scott Hallsworth brings the Japanese izakaya concept to King's Road.

WHAT TO DRINK: The wine list is to-the-point (three options: great; better; best), and all are good options, but we recommend getting down and dirty with the cocktail list – Joe's Pink Parts is a highlight.

WHAT TO EAT: All of it is moreish, crunchy, sweet, sour and laced with umami. We'd particularly recommend the walnut prawns to start, and the BBQ pork belly and short rib rendang buns for your main.
