First Look: Kimme

"Trendy Amoy Street is abuzz again with the latest opening of Kimme, the second restaurant by rising star Korean chef Sun Kim who led the team at Meta to achieve a Michelin star in 2017. An extension of Meta’s refined Asian-inspired cuisine, Kimme pairs innovative and elevated modern Japanese- and Korean-influenced dishes with more casual surroundings. While Meta only offers prix-fixe menus, the menu at Kimme is à la carte and all for sharing, divided simply into small plates, big plates and sweets. Even the interior encourages communal dining with just one large marble-clad table on the ground floor dining room with a view into the open kitchen. The three-story shophouse caters to both lunch and dinner experiences, and has a bar on the second floor offering a concise list of classic cocktails and wines to complement the food." - Rachel Tan
