Keeping It Fresh: Hamachi’s The Word 
With its clean umami, delicate sweetness, and a firm yet tender bite that’s just right, hamachi’s at its best in these refreshing compositions. 

For those who like their yu sheng with a little more local flavour, Gilmore & Damian D’Silva’s Traditional Raw Fish Salad (part of $388++ Lunar New Year set ) keeps things classic with familiar flavours; though technically not a yu sheng as we know it but just as tossable, just as delectable. Sashimi-grade hamachi takes centre stage, paired with fresh local lettuce, julienned ginger, and coriander leaves. Crispy garlic and shallots add the unmissable crunch, and a tangy, savoury dressing ties it all together. Available from 9 February to 3 March 2026.

Available from 9 February to 3 March 2026, excluding 13 and 14 February.
