Iggy’s Restaurant Bags Asia’s Best |
|
Singapore Regent’s New Iggys Restaurant bags the “Best Restaurant in Asia” award by Miele Guide – a recently launched work of reference that aspires to be to Asia what the Michelin is to Europe. “I don't serve food that shocks,” says Ignatius Chan, the French-trained sommelier who started the cozy 38-seat restaurant four years ago. Instead, Iggy’s sets forth a gastronomic experience that is an embodiment of iconoclasm - a set eight-course menu, which changes monthly. |
