Helmed by Japanese chef Motokichi Yukimura, the 14-seat restaurant is renowned for theatrically serving the Insta-famous omurice (Japanese omelette rice), where a perfectly cooked omelette is sliced open to drape over a bed of fried rice.

Chef Yukimura, 69, has 314,000 followers on his @kichikichi_omurice Instagram account. It carries a line that says: "Upon request, we will go to your country to make omurice."

He has done so in cities such as Jakarta and Sydney. Up next is Singapore, in a collaboration with home-grown food and beverage group RE&S Enterprises, which focuses on Japanese cuisine concepts.

On July 11 and 12, the chef will host a cooking showcase—two sessions a day for lunch and dinner—at Tsukimi Hamburg restaurant at Jurong Point. Each session is limited to 20 people, who will have to win tickets by joining a lucky draw.
