Where To Eat This Week: Corner House, Candlenut, Min Jiang And Ginett

Make the most out of your mealtime with our round-up of timely treats. There are two exciting collaboration dinners worth checking out, as are a few specially curated menus and masterclasses by some of your fave eats

1. Corner House

Chef Jason Tan will be joining hands with Kristian Baumann, head chef of 108 Restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, for a two-night collaboration dinner on October 23 and 24. It’s also worth noting that Baumann, a Noma alumnus, has worked closely with René Redzepi.

He will be featuring his signature take on Nordic cuisine, made with premium produce and foraged ingredients, served alongside chef Tan’s evolved gastro-botanica fare. The menu will be a surprise, but something tells us you’ll be tucking into delicious food, including Corner House’s signature Cévennes onions served four ways.

2. Candlenut

What did we do this week to deserve another sumptuous four-hands dinner on October 24? This time, it’s at Candlenut, where chef-owner Malcolm Lee will be cooking alongside Masterchef Singapore judge Audra Morrice.

Both share the same passion for showcasing their heritage on the plate, evident in their combined menu which includes sticky black bean and chilli Borrowdale pork ribs (from Morrice's upcoming cookbook) and buah keluak bergedil and beef tongue (Candlenut).

3. Min Jiang

Yes, hairy crab is back in season, which means it’s time to book a meal at Min Jiang for special lunch and dinner menus celebrating the prized crustacean, available from now until November 16.

Choose to order a la carte or the ‘Hairy Crab Joy’ set menu, if you feel like indulging. The latter includes all the must-tries, including the deep-fried prawn ball stuffed with hairy crabmeat, and steamed xiao long bao with hairy crabmeat.

4. So France

Sign up for an authentic French experience when you join the wine and cheese masterclass at So France, taking place from October 24 to 26. The wines are from the Bordeaux region, so ready your palate for the likes of the 2013 Château Coutet, AOC Saint Emilion Grand Cru merlot and the 2016 Château Tour de Goupin, AOC Bordeaux sauvignon blanc.

The cheese platter will feaure a combination of delicate and pungent flavours, from the Mimolette royale to the Mothais sur feuille goat cheese. And to make it even more French, So France will toss in some Marennes-Oléron Oysters to start with.

If you're thirsting for French wines this week, quench it at Ginett’s Wine Masterclass happening from October 25 to 27. The guest of honour is French wine expert Jacques Varet, who will be taking guests through the nuances of the Burgundy and Bordeaux wines.

Executive chef Hervé Frerard will make sure you don’t leave hungry with a quintessentially French menu.
