Sometimes work brings such good fortune. Today was one of those days. A friend here in Singapore, that I am hoping is also to become a customer/partner, invited me to his new launch of Asia Fintech Center, part of ZA Tech.
A fascinating company that is leading the way with fintech, insurtech and digitalisation of insurance. It’s just brilliant. The man at the helm of that in Singapore is George Kesselman.
As part of the launch, he invited a select few customers and partners to his wife’s, Cassandra, cafe cum bar for dinner. And what a dinner it was. So this review had to be written, despite the fact that in effect I was actually working – this was a quality Omakase style dinner.

I have been here once before, but that was just for a coffee catch-up. Tonight the doors were closed to the public and the Chef was given free rein. And that free reign was a WOW, as you will see.
This is a must-visit place folks. The food is off-the-charts. Ignore the next door monstrosity that is McClown, and get your bum firmly sat in here for quality food and a lovely glass of vino to wash it down.
Let’s hear from The Ritual @ Bukit Timah Road, with their strapline of cafe|bar|community (I like that);
“The Space; Integrating Mind, Body and Soul. While we live in a fast-paced and stressful environment, we want to create a safe space for anyone to practise healthy rituals that allow oneself to live a balanced life. A hideout created along Stevens Road and Bukit Timah –gather your tribe for good conversations, drinks, and time.”
“The Food; Simple yet Wholesome. We design the menu to be simple, wholesome and most importantly inclusive. We do our best to create sauces, dips and all dishes from scratch. Using only Himalayan salt and no artificial flavouring, we hope to bring our guests’ favourites in a healthier version. There are freshly baked pastries and breads, salads, protein bowls, brunch items and desserts. We have both plant-based and gluten-free options. If you are a regular and would love to see something on our menu, drop us a note and let us know!”
How good is that? So get a Grab and come see them at; 383 Bukit Timah Road Singapore 259727 – maybe book in advance on their Facebook page;
But, for now, let’s get into that Omakase menu that we dined like Kings and Queens on tonight… You are gonna love this.

About Brian Kennett
Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
