KI-SHO: Kappo Dining Excellence

Restaurant Profile

Cuisine: Japanese Kappo
Price Range: $$$$
Specialty: Singapore’s First Tottori Wagyu
Seating: Chef’s Counter (Intimate)

Menu Overview

Seasonal Omakase Experience (12-15 courses)

  • Zensai (Seasonal Appetizers)
  • Otsukuri (Sashimi Selection)
  • Tottori Wagyu Service (Multiple Preparations)
  • Donabe Rice with Seasonal Toppings
  • Wagashi & Seasonal Fruit

Signature Dish Analysis: Tottori Wagyu

What Makes Tottori Wagyu Special: The Kedaka bloodline cattle are raised in Tottori Prefecture with strict protocols. The beef features:

  • Marbling score of A5 BMS 10-12
  • Buttery texture with low melting point
  • Subtle sweetness without gamey notes
  • Limited production (approximately 2,000 cattle annually)

Typical Preparations at Ki-sho:

  1. Tataki – Lightly seared exterior, raw interior
  2. Aburi – Torch-seared with sea salt
  3. Shabu-shabu style – Quick hot pot preparation
  4. Grilled – Simple seasoning to highlight natural flavors

Featured Recipe: Donabe Rice (Home Version)

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Japanese short-grain rice
  • 2¼ cups dashi stock
  • 1 piece kombu (5cm)
  • Seasonal toppings: ikura, uni, grilled mushrooms, or chestnuts
  • Shiso leaves, finely sliced
  • Soy sauce for finishing

Equipment: Earthenware donabe pot (or heavy-bottomed pot with tight lid)

Instructions:

  1. Rice Preparation (30 minutes before cooking)
    • Rinse rice in cold water 3-4 times until water runs clear
    • Drain and let rest 30 minutes
  2. Cooking Process
    • Place kombu in donabe, add dashi stock and rice
    • Cover with lid, bring to boil over medium-high heat (8-10 minutes)
    • Once boiling, reduce to low heat, cook 12 minutes
    • Turn off heat, let steam undisturbed for 15 minutes
    • Do not lift lid during cooking
  3. Finishing
    • Remove kombu, gently fluff rice with wooden paddle
    • Arrange seasonal toppings artfully on surface
    • Garnish with shiso
    • Drizzle premium soy sauce around edges

Chef’s Tips:

  • Water-to-rice ratio is crucial: 1:1.125 for donabe cooking
  • The lid must fit tightly to trap steam
  • Bottom layer develops crispy “okoge” – this is desirable
  • Serve immediately while rice is glossy and steam rises

  • Acacia honey (floral notes complement pumpkin)
  • Mixed microgreens (texture and freshness)
  • Candied walnuts (crunch element)
  • Goat cheese crumbles (creamy tang)

Beverages ($4-$6)

  • Italian sodas (Chinotto, Aranciata)
  • Espresso drinks
  • Fresh-pressed juices

Dish Analysis: What Makes Great Focaccia

The Focaccia Foundation:

  • High hydration dough (75-80% water content)
  • Overnight fermentation for complex flavor
  • Dimpled texture holds olive oil and toppings
  • Crust should be crispy, interior pillowy and airy
  • Proper salt crystals on surface

Why Focaccia Works for Sandwiches:

  • Absorbs dressings without becoming soggy
  • Structural integrity holds generous fillings
  • Flavor is substantial but not overwhelming
  • Texture contrast: crispy exterior, soft interior

Recipe: Authentic Italian Focaccia

Ingredients:

For Dough:

  • 500g bread flour (high protein)
  • 375ml lukewarm water
  • 10g instant yeast
  • 10g honey
  • 12g salt
  • 30ml extra virgin olive oil, plus more for pan and topping
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing
  • Fresh rosemary (optional)

Timeline: Start 18-24 hours before serving

Instructions:

Day 1 – Evening (10 minutes active time):

  1. Mix Dough
    • Combine water and honey in bowl, stir in yeast
    • Wait 5 minutes until foamy
    • Add flour, mix with wooden spoon until shaggy
    • Add salt and olive oil, mix until incorporated
    • Dough will be very wet and sticky – this is correct
  2. First Rise
    • Cover bowl with plastic wrap
    • Leave at room temperature 12-18 hours
    • Dough should triple in size, become bubbly

Day 2 – Morning (15 minutes active time):

  1. Prepare Pan
    • Coat 9×13 inch baking pan generously with olive oil (4-5 tbsp)
    • Transfer dough to pan without deflating
    • Gently stretch to corners – if resistant, wait 15 minutes and try again
  2. Second Rise
    • Cover loosely with plastic wrap
    • Let rise 2-4 hours until puffy and doubled
    • Preheat oven to 220°C in final 30 minutes
  3. Dimpling & Topping
    • Oil your fingers generously
    • Press fingertips firmly into dough to create deep dimples
    • Drizzle 3-4 tbsp olive oil over surface
    • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt
    • Add rosemary sprigs if using
  4. Baking
    • Bake 25-30 minutes until deep golden brown
    • Edges should pull away from pan
    • Bottom should be crispy when lifted with spatula
    • Cool 10 minutes in pan
  5. Cutting for Sandwiches
    • Cut focaccia horizontally through middle
    • This creates top and bottom with crispy exteriors on both sides
    • Cut into squares or rectangles as needed

Troubleshooting:

  • Dough won’t stretch: Too cold or not proofed enough – wait longer
  • Dense texture: Under-proofed or oven not hot enough
  • Pale color: Increase oven temperature or baking time
  • Soggy bottom: Use metal pan, not glass; ensure oven is fully preheated

Building the Perfect Focaccia Sandwich

Layering Strategy (bottom to top):

  1. Bottom Focaccia Slice (cut side up)
  2. Fat Layer – Olive oil, pesto, or aioli creates moisture barrier
  3. Main Protein – Prosciutto, mortadella, or porchetta
  4. Creamy Element – Stracciatella, burrata, or soft cheese
  5. Vegetables – Arugula, tomatoes, or roasted peppers
  6. Finishing Drizzle – Balsamic glaze or quality olive oil
  7. Top Focaccia Slice (cut side down)

The Press: Wrap sandwich tightly in parchment paper, press gently but firmly. This melds flavors and compresses layers without crushing the bread’s interior structure.

Deep Dive: Understanding Buckwheat Noodles

Why Buckwheat Is Challenging:

  • Contains no gluten – difficult to bind
  • Requires 70-80% buckwheat for authentic flavor but creates brittle noodles
  • Fresh noodles must be made daily – deteriorate quickly
  • Cooking window is narrow – 60-90 seconds or they fall apart

Nutritional Profile:

  • High in protein (13-15%)
  • Rich in rutin (antioxidant)
  • Lower glycemic index than wheat
  • Naturally gluten-free (though often contains wheat for structure)

Flavor Profile:

  • Earthy, nutty base notes
  • Subtle bitterness
  • Delicate texture, not chewy like wheat noodles
  • Absorbs broth flavors well

Recipe: Korean Cold Buckwheat Noodles (Memil-guksu)

Note: Making fresh buckwheat noodles requires specialized equipment. This recipe uses dried buckwheat noodles (naengmyeon or soba).

Ingredients:

For Broth (Makes 1 liter – prepare day before):

  • 1 liter water
  • 30g dried anchovies (heads and guts removed)
  • 20g dried kelp (dashima)
  • 1 medium onion, halved
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ Asian pear, grated
  • Salt to taste
  • Ice cubes for serving

For Noodles:

  • 400g dried buckwheat noodles
  • Ice bath prepared

Garnishes (per serving):

  • ½ boiled egg
  • 3-4 cucumber matchsticks
  • 2-3 slices pickled radish
  • 1 tbsp napa cabbage kimchi, chopped
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onion
  • Korean mustard oil (optional)

Instructions:

Day Before – Broth Preparation:

  1. Make Base Stock
    • Remove heads and guts from dried anchovies (reduces bitterness)
    • Bring water to boil
    • Add anchovies and kelp, reduce to simmer
    • After 10 minutes, remove kelp (longer makes it slimy)
    • Continue simmering anchovies with onion and garlic for 20 minutes
    • Strain through fine mesh, discard solids
  2. Season Broth
    • Return to pot, add soy sauce, vinegar, sugar
    • Taste and adjust – should be savory with subtle sweetness
    • Add grated pear (provides natural sweetness and helps preserve broth)
    • Cool completely, refrigerate overnight
    • Before serving, skim any fat from surface

Day Of – Assembly:

  1. Cook Noodles
    • Bring large pot of water to rolling boil
    • Add noodles, stir immediately to prevent sticking
    • Cook according to package (usually 4-5 minutes for dried)
    • Test texture: should be tender but still have slight bite
    • Drain immediately
  2. Shock Noodles
    • Transfer to ice bath immediately
    • Swirl noodles in ice water 30-60 seconds
    • This stops cooking and makes noodles firm and bouncy
    • Drain thoroughly – excess water dilutes broth
  3. Plate & Serve
    • Place noodles in chilled bowl
    • Add 4-5 ice cubes to bowl
    • Pour very cold broth over noodles (about 300ml per serving)
    • Arrange garnishes artfully on top
    • Serve with Korean mustard on side

Eating Instructions for Diners:

  1. Mix all garnishes into noodles and broth
  2. Add mustard oil if desired (use sparingly – very pungent)
  3. Noodles must be eaten quickly before they soften in broth
  4. Slurping is encouraged – aerates noodles and enhances flavor

Signature Innovation: Perilla Salmon Buckwheat

Why This Works for Singapore:

  • Local preference for Japanese flavors (sushi, sashimi)
  • Perilla (sesame leaf) bridges Korean and Japanese cuisines
  • Raw fish quality is high in Singapore
  • Creates luxury version of traditional dish

Marinade Composition:

  • Perilla oil (nutty, slightly minty)
  • Soy sauce
  • Mirin
  • Sesame oil
  • Grated ginger
  • Salmon absorbs marinade in 15-20 minutes

Assembly Difference:

  • Use less broth (noodles shouldn’t swim)
  • Salmon arranged on top, not mixed
  • Ikura adds brininess and visual pop
  • Micro shiso provides aromatic finish

Delivery Information

Delivery: Available but not recommended
Why: Cold noodles continue absorbing broth, becoming mushy
If Ordering Delivery:

  • Request broth and noodles packed separately
  • Assemble immediately upon arrival
  • Add ice cubes to broth before pouring Best Option: Dine-in for optimal texture and temperature
    Takeaway: Available with separation packaging

MAK MAN KEE: Michelin Wanton Mee

Restaurant Profile

Cuisine: Hong Kong-style Noodles
Price Range: $$
Recognition: Michelin Guide Hong Kong
Certification: Muslim-friendly

Complete Menu

Signature Wanton Noodles ($9.80-$16.80)

  1. Original Wanton Noodles – 4 wontons, springy noodles, bok choy
  2. Dumpling Noodles – 4 dumplings, choice of soup or dry
  3. Combo – 2 wontons + 2 dumplings
  4. Large Portion – 6 wontons or dumplings

Specialty Soups ($8.80-$14.80)

  • Wanton soup (6 pieces)
  • Dumpling soup (6 pieces)

Sides ($3-$6)

  • Blanched vegetables
  • Century egg with ginger
  • Pickled vegetables
  • Chili oil

Beverages ($2-$4)

  • Iced lemon tea
  • Chrysanthemum tea
  • Soft drinks

Cultural Context: Hong Kong vs. Singapore Wanton Mee

Hong Kong Style (Mak Man Kee):

  • Noodles: Thin, springy egg noodles with firm bite
  • Sauce: Light soy-based, emphasis on noodle flavor
  • Wontons: Larger, emphasis on filling quality (shrimp)
  • Presentation: Minimalist, clean
  • Broth: Served separately, delicate seafood base

Singapore/Malaysian Style:

  • Noodles: Often flat egg noodles, softer texture
  • Sauce: Dark soy, oyster sauce – heavier, sweeter
  • Wontons: Smaller, pork-prawn mixture
  • Additions: Char siu (BBQ pork), leafy greens
  • Broth: Sometimes included with noodles

Signature Dish Analysis: Muslim-Friendly Wanton Noodles

The Adaptation Challenge:

Traditional Hong Kong wanton noodles rely on:

  • Pork bone broth (rich, fatty)
  • Pork wonton filling
  • Lard in noodle-making

Mak Man Kee’s adaptations:

  • Broth: Chicken bones + shrimp shells + dried flounder
  • Filling: Chicken + prawns
  • Noodles: Vegetable oil instead of lard

Does It Work? The adaptation is thoughtful – dried flounder provides umami depth that replaces pork bone richness. Chicken bones still provide collagen for body. Shrimp shells add sweetness and seafood notes authentic to Hong Kong style.

Recipe: Hong Kong-Style Wanton Noodles (Muslim-Friendly Version)

Timeline: 3 hours (mostly simmering time)

Ingredients:

For Broth (Makes 2 liters):

  • 1kg chicken bones (necks, backs, feet for collagen)

For Seasoning Sauce (per serving):

  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • ½ tsp oyster sauce (check for halal certification)
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • Pinch white pepper
  • Pinch sugar

Instructions:

Step 1: Make Broth (2-3 hours before serving)

  1. Blanch Bones
    • Place chicken bones in pot, cover with cold water
    • Bring to boil, boil 3 minutes
    • Drain, rinse bones under cold water (removes impurities)
  2. Build Broth
    • In clean pot, add blanched bones, shrimp shells, dried flounder
    • Add onion, ginger, garlic
    • Cover with 2 liters water
    • Bring to boil, immediately reduce to gentle simmer
    • Skim foam/fat from surface first 30 minutes
    • Simmer uncovered 2-3 hours until reduced by one-third
    • Broth should be clear with rich seafood aroma
  3. Strain & Season
    • Strain through fine mesh lined with cheesecloth
    • Season lightly with salt – broth should taste clean, not too salty
    • Keep warm on low heat

Step 2: Prepare Wontons (Can be done hours ahead)

  1. Make Filling
    • Combine chicken, shrimp, cornstarch in bowl
    • Add egg white, sesame oil, fish sauce, white pepper, sugar
    • Mix vigorously in one direction for 3 minutes
    • Mixture should become sticky and bind together
    • Refrigerate 30 minutes to firm up
  2. Wrap Wontons
    • Place wonton wrapper on clean surface
    • Put 1 heaping teaspoon filling in center
    • Dip finger in water, moisten edges
    • Fold corner to corner, creating triangle
    • Press edges firmly to seal
    • Bring two bottom corners together, overlap slightly, pinch
    • Shape should resemble nurse’s cap
    • Place on parchment-lined tray, cover with damp towel
    • Can refrigerate up to 4 hours or freeze

Step 3: Cook & Assemble (Right before serving)

  1. Cook Wontons
    • Bring broth to gentle simmer (not rolling boil – will break wontons)
    • Add wontons carefully, don’t crowd
    • Cook 6-8 minutes until float and filling is cooked through
    • Remove to bowls, reserve broth
  2. Cook Noodles
    • Bring separate pot of water to rolling boil
    • Add noodles, cook 60-90 seconds if fresh, 2-3 minutes if dried
    • Stir immediately to prevent sticking
    • Add bok choy in last 30 seconds
    • Drain immediately
  3. Prepare Seasoning
    • In serving bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, sugar

    • Arrange bok choy on top
    • Place 4-6 wontons on noodles
    • Serve broth in separate small bowl on side
    • Garnish with sliced green onions

Hong Kong Eating Method:

  • First, taste noodles without broth to appreciate texture and seasoning
  • Sip broth between bites
  • Alternate between wontons and noodles
  • Noodles should be eaten quickly while warm and springy

Pro Tips from Mak Man Kee’s Technique

Broth Clarity:

  • Never let broth boil vigorously – keeps it clear
  • Skim diligently in first 30 minutes
  • Don’t stir – disrupts fat separation

Wonton Wrapping:

  • Don’t overfill – causes bursting during cooking
  • Ensure complete seal – test by gently pressing
  • Refrigerate before cooking – firms filling

Noodle Texture:

  • Undercook slightly – residual heat continues cooking
  • Rinse briefly under cold water if serving dry style
  • Toss immediately with sauce while hot
