So I was invited by Mr Willis himself, previously executive chef of Wagas a couple weeks ago to try out his new restaurant, Bang by Mr Willis, at the Grand Gateway mall.
In actual fact, both this restaurant and the space it occupies is not new, formerly being BISTROW right beside Wagas, Bang had already been opened for a number of years at iAPM.
The new menu is quite varied with dishes to suit a wide range of diners, at reasonable prices. Enough talk, let’s gawk.
Oysters, not bad.Truffled Beef Carpaccio is goodCured Salmon and Salmon Roe, good.Squid is so soFried Calamari and shrimp, soft and limp. Skip this dish.Shrimp and corn pizza, so so.Sea bass and mussels, not badSeafood Risotto, tasted like the risotto cooked a risotto, like porridge. Skip.Thick cut Australian Sirloin, very good.Perfectly cooked, feeds 2-3.Pesto Pasta, noodles a little softGrilled Brocolinni with Parmesan, not bad.Tiramisu, not badMille Feuille, so so.Caramel and strawberry ice cream, not bad.
Mizuki is one of the few Japanese Omakase restaurants in Singapore who specialise in Tempura. I was blessed to have been treated to their mid-tier menu for my birthday!
