6 Neighbourhood Lunch Spots to Try

1. Healthy Comfort Food to go at Black Garlic

If you’re craving healthy, Asian home-cooking, a stop at Black Garlic is a must. Based on the concept of made-from-scratch soulful rice bowls, it’s comforting, quick and warming. The mindfully sourced menu is rotating, with the choice of five different bowls on any given day. For February, look out for Consommé Beef Rib, Steamed Fish Fillet with Garlic, and Vegetarian Mapo Tofu, among many more.

2. Drunch or Dunch at TMK Rap & Rolls 

Our favourite neighbourhood temakeria and sake bar is serving up both ‘drunch’ and ‘dunch’ (AKA dinner-brunch or dinner-lunch) in lieu of dinner sittings. Within a punky atmosphere inspired by the golden era of hip-hop, both menus offer a selection of their greatest hits — cue their marinated salmon West Coast Bowl, Poppin’ Ice Cream, and more. There are also free-flow options for those who are keen on kicking back with a few drinks. Drunch is available on weekdays from 11 a.m.to 6 p.m., and dunch is served from 3–6 p.m. on weekends. (And don’t forget the regular brunch options!)

To ensure heading out for lunch is always an exciting affair, Oolaa Petite curates a new set lunch every two weeks. Available on weekdays from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., the menu features three starters, five mains and three desserts.

4. Innovative French-Cantonese Fusion at ROOTS

Celebrated chef Stephanie Wong’s intimate neighbourhood bistro ROOTS is beloved for its masterful French-Cantonese cuisine. Wong champions fresh, local produce sourced from Hong Kong’s wet markets, adds in some classic Chinese inspiration and presents each dish with a French cooking approach. Some of our favourites on the set lunch menu? Squid ‘Risotto’, Asparagus, Spring Onion and Dried Shrimp Roe and Pu Er Tiramisu. If you are missing the A La Carte Dinner Menu, it's currently available over lunchtime, too.

5. Jet-Fresh Sushi from Shiro  

Craving a trip to Japan? Shiro is the next best thing. Proudly capturing the country's approach to fresh food, the restaurant serves up fan favourites such as their ramen bento boxes, sushi and sashimi platters, and share-friendly plates of tempura and teriyaki. The chef’s recommendation that can't be missed? The Scallop and Caviar with Kimchi Jelly Crystal Sushi. We'd also suggest washing it down with a signature cool green tea and a sweet note from the chef’s dessert platter.
