The House Bar<\/strong>, the sister bar of Taiga Dining, at Regent Singapore<\/strong> is a boutique lounge that sits about 20 people or so. Serving Japanese food<\/strong>, it’s a sexy, intimate and sophisticated bar that is suitable for date nights and a gathering of close friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The door is behind this painting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To get to the bar, look for this black-and-white painting of mountains and clouds. I know we shouldn’t touch art but see the crack along the wall? That’s the handle of the door – pull it. It feels so forbidden and naughty to touch a painting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Cocktails<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The cocktails are super on point. They have some Japanese-inspired cocktails like chu-hai<\/strong> ($24, shochu, fresh grapefruit, St Germain, soda) and Sake Bramble<\/strong> ($24, sake, creme de mure, floral tea syrup, lemon juice), which are great. But having tried several, I really love their classic cocktails Old-Fashioned<\/strong> ($24) and Negroni<\/strong> ($24) – they hit the spot. It’s *chef’s kiss*. I’d return for the cocktails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Shizuoka Amera tomato<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most of their food are bar bites although there are some mains and filling dishes. The Shizuoka Amera tomato<\/strong> is sprinkled with arctic salt: sweet and acidic. Nothing special but the ingredient is nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Aburi<\/strong> fatty tuna<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The fatty tuna<\/strong> is aburi (seared) at the surface and completed with yuzu zest. The tuna is pillowy but yuzu and tuna don’t mix well together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Negitoro Monaka<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Negitoro Monaka (<\/strong>$28) is a waffle biscuit layered with chopped fatty tuna, avocado, and salmon roe. They are all ingredients that I love but together, they are not greater than the sum of their parts. I think this will be better as a ricebowl don? The deflated biscuit doesn’t do justice to the ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Miyazaki beef sando<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Miyazaki beef sando<\/strong> ($78) is a Japanese-styled sandwich with Miyazaki beef, lightly smeared with mustard aioli. The beef is excellent quality — could have been salted a bit bolder — but I personally won’t part with my money for the sandwich. It is too expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
snow crab claypot rice<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The best dish of the night is indubitably the snow crab claypot rice<\/strong> ($98). This is a simple dish, not different from our own claypot rice, except they use dashi and katsuobushi bonito flakes. It is a plain dish but the blandness allows the umami, pleasant fishiness, and mild sweetness to shine through. I have eaten Japanese claypot rice several times at several restaurants over the years. While this rendition isn’t the best, it is still satisfying and warming and comforting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food cost a pretty penny although the ingredients are premium and clean. But when I return, it will be for the cocktails and the sexy vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
