Impressive new restaurants on Singapore's culinary scene

Lucali BYGB is new to Singapore, but its predecessor is the famed New York pizza spot that had its television debut on Netflix series Ugly Delicious. Besides pizza—and it does pizza oh so well—it features elevated Italian-American dishes bursting with flavour. They reportedly have a top secret, four-hour tomato sauce loaded with goodness, and their specialty cheese, the "Brooklyn combination", which combines buffalo mozzarella, low-moisture mozzarella and Grana Padano, is to die for. Look forward to their dine-in service, which is set to open soon, but in the meantime, hit them up for craving-worthy delivery and takeout meals.

Chef Yoshio Sakuta of Japan, who won his two Michelin stars in two consecutive years, is now masterfully helming the kitchen at Sushi Kou, a new omakase sushi restaurant in Singapore. Sushi Kou can only seat nine diners at a time, so prepare to vie for the limited, coveted spots. For the "Edo-style" sushi on the menu, ingredients are flown in specially from the Toyosu Market in Tokyo. Prepare to pay for precision and quality—on the dinner menu, the Aya—which features steamed egg with hairy crab, Kinki shabu shabu with Ponzu sauce, wild ocean eel, 10 pieces of sushi, miso soup and dessert—prices start at S$380. -/TISG
