What Adam ate: "Strawberry" dessert with tomato, shiso and milk ice-cream

Since 2004, Iggys on Orchard Road has been at the forefront of Singapore's dining scene and the menu certainly evokes a sense of excitement and innovation. Sweet, sour and temperature variations throughout this strawberry sphere make it more than just a beautiful plate.

What Adam ate: Lamb kebabs with duck fat pita bread

This is a modern BBQ restaurant from Aussie-born chef Dave Pynt. Grab a seat at the counter and watch the team work their fiery magic with the use of their 4-tonne wood-fired oven which can reach impressive temperatures of 700°C! Why not get barbecuing with these that are served with duck fat pita bread and a spiced yoghurt dressing. Get .

What Adam ate: A tasting selection. Their signature dish - Marinated botan shrimp with sea urchin roe and a dollop of Russian caviar.

According to Adam, Tetsuya Wakuda's Japanese-influenced restaurant has some of the most decadent dishes you'll find anywhere in the world.  If you want an easy weeknight dish, (ready in less than 30 minutes!) from Tetsuya himself then try his  and you'll deliciously impress without the stress.

What Adam ate: Cacao forest

Yep, it really is open until 2am! In her magical Willy Wonka-style laboratory, pastry chef, Janice Wong and her team trial recipes and edible works of art (literally) all for her progressive dessert restaurant. The aim is lots of storytelling, flavourful creations and then paired with a cocktail as well. Adam tastes the cacao forest dessert which starts with a corn crumble, miso cake, her cacao pod of cherry puree, chocolate and xanthum gum, topped with some fairy floss and a whiskey vanilla ice-cream. This umami-style dessert was a sensation choice and as Adam said, "Every time you [Janice] start adding something more to this, I get more excited!)
