Weekend (Japanese) Brunch at Keyaki - Pan Pacific Singapore
Perched on level four of the Pan Pacific Singapore hotel and surrounded by a beautifully sculpted Japanese garden and koi pond, Keyaki Japanese Restaurant provides an authentic setting for an exquisite epicurean journey. The restaurant features both Tatami and western style private dining rooms.
Enjoy a different kind of Weekend Brunch at Keyaki Japanese Restaurant and savour a new okonomi concept kaiseki brunch. Featuring a curated menu of perennial Japanese culinary favourites, guests may indulge in this customisable eight-course experience by selecting their delicacy of choice from each course.
Okonomi is a Japanese term which translates to ‘as you like it’ or ‘your preference’, and Chef Hiroshi Ishii (石井博) has applied this concept to the new weekend brunch at Keyaki. Guests are presented with a tasting menu of eight courses and invited to select one of five different options per course, allowing them to tailor the experience to best suit their preferences. The menu was crafted with balance in mind starting with lighter, chilled presentations such as Kobachi and Sashimi to slowly waken the palette, before proceeding on to textured, hot dishes such as Yakimono and Teppanyaki. The savoury courses are rounded off with Shokuji dishes which are crafted to cleanse the palette, before concluding on a sweet note with a delightful choice of desserts.
