Kyoto's viral Kichi Kichi Omurice chef is coming to Singapore, here's how you can meet him, Lifestyle News
Fans of Japanese food would probably be familiar with Kichi Kichi Omurice, a popular restaurant in Kyoto that is hard to get a seat at. It's helmed by the charismatic Chef Motokichi Yukimura, who is known for his theatrical meal services and delicious omurice. If you've been wanting to try his food but can't travel to Kyoto, you're in luck because he will be coming to Singapore instead. Motokichi announced the news in an Instagram post on Sunday (June 1). [embed] "Guess who's dropping in? Yes – the legendary omurice-flipping maestro from Kichi Kichi Omurice, Kyoto is coming to Singapore," read the post. A press release on June 2 shared that the chef will host a cooking showcase at Tsukimi Hamburg's Jurong Point outlet on July 11 and 12, from 7pm to 9pm. However, not just anyone can attend the exclusive event. It will be limited to 20 pax per session and there are 40 pairs of tickets up for grabs. To win a pair, interested parties have to join RE&S dining group as a member and spend a minimum of $20 in a single receipt at &Joy Japanese Food Street at either Nex or Jurong Point from June 3 to 30 to get a chance to participate in the lucky draw. Multiple entries are allowed and you can increase your chances of winning with every $20 spend in a single receipt. Winners will be selected and announced weekly every Thursday (June 12, 19, 26, and July 3). Even if you don't get tickets to meet him, you can still try Motokichi's omurice at Tsukimi Hamburg as they collaborate on a menu that marries the popular chef's omurice with the eatery's hamburg steaks. There are two options available. The Kichi Kichi Hamburg Omurice ($16.80) features demiglace fried rice, edamame and chicken that are blanketed by an omelette shaped in the form of a spiral "tornado" and topped with a juicy hamburg steak. It is completed with the famous Kichi Kichi demiglace sauce. The Kichi Kichi Omurice ($12.80) has demiglace fried rice that is finished off with a "tornado" omelette. Both dishes will be launched on July 10 and are permanent additions to Tsukimi Hamburg's refreshed menu. 69-year-old Motokichi hails from Japan and has gained international renown for his theatrical and artful take on omurice, a popular Western-Japanese fusion dish. While donning his signature red beret, he turns each dining experience into a performance and the highlight is when he slices open his omelettes.

Kyoto's Kichi Kichi Omurice to run two-day event at Jurong Point's Tsukimi Hamburg
The charismatic chef Motokichi Yukimura of the famed Kichi Kichi Omurice will be in Singapore on July 10 and 11 for a cooking showcase. PHOTO: RE&S ENTERPRISES SINGAPORE – If you have not been able to score a coveted seat at the famed Kichi Kichi Omurice restaurant in Kyoto, Japan, you can now try your luck in Singapore. Helmed by Japanese chef Motokichi Yukimura, the 14-seat restaurant is renowned for theatrically serving the Insta-famous omurice (Japanese omelette rice), where a perfectly cooked omelette is sliced open to drape over a bed of fried rice. Chef Yukimura, 69, has 314,000 followers on his @kichikichi_omurice Instagram account. It carries a line that says: 'Upon request, we will go to your country to make omurice.' He has done so in cities such as Jakarta and Sydney. Up next is Singapore, in a collaboration with home-grown food and beverage group RE&S Enterprises, which focuses on Japanese cuisine concepts. On July 11 and 12, the chef will host a cooking showcase – two sessions a day for lunch and dinner – at Tsukimi Hamburg restaurant at Jurong Point. Each session is limited to 20 people, who will have to win tickets by joining a lucky draw. To do so, you need to sign up as a &Rewards Member and spend a minimum of $20 in a single receipt at &JOY Japanese Food Street (at Nex or Jurong Point), from June 3 to 30. Each winner, to be announced every Thursday, can get a pair of tickets. This collaboration has been in discussion for some time, says RE&S Enterprises' vice president of marketing Winnie Loo, whose team visited chef Yukimura at his Kyoto restaurant in February.

PHOTO: RE&S ENTERPRISES She says: 'Chef Yukimura has always embraced meaningful overseas collaborations that allow his culinary philosophy to reach new audiences. One of our Japanese counterparts bridged this connection with him, making this collaboration possible.' She also confirmed that there are no plans for chef Yukimura to open a permanent Kichi Kichi Omurice outlet in Singapore. For those who are unable to get tickets, you can go for two collaborative Tsukimi Hamburg x Kichi Kichi Omurice dishes instead. First, the Kichi Kichi Hamburg Omurice ($16.80) features demiglace fried rice with edamame and chicken blanketed with a fluffy spiral 'tornado' omelette and finished with a hamburg patty. The other option, Kichi Kichi Omurice ($12.80), comes without the hamburg. The demiglace omurice, says Ms Loo, stays true to the original rich, slow-cooked demiglace sauce by chef Yukimura. But instead of the classic sliced omelette presentation, diners here will get a spiral 'tornado' omelette on the rice to ensure consistency across the dishes. The dishes will launch on July 10 as permanent additions to Tsukimi Hamburg's menu at all its outlets. First established at Jurong Point in 2022, Tsukimi Hamburg's other branches are at CapitaSpring and Hougang Mall. Ms Loo adds: 'During our visit to his restaurant, the conversation flowed naturally, and the idea of pairing his world-famous omurice with Tsukimi Hamburg's signature juicy hamburg steaks felt like a perfect match.'

Tea houses and UFO villages: The ultimate 5-day guide to Taipei, Travel News
Taipei hums in layers. Temples waft incense beside neon arcades. Locals start their days with scallion pancakes or hot soy milk, and end them with a cocktail behind an unmarked door. It's a place where centuries-old rituals coexist with pop culture kitsch. Every alley seems to lead to a shrine, a cat, or an unforgettable steaming bowl of deliciousness. What makes Taipei special isn't just landmarks: its contrasts add meaning and surprise us at every corner. Dumpling shops share walls with vinyl bars. Japanese-style bathhouses sit down the street from Bauhaus cafes. Old military villages become artist communes. This five-day guide is for the curious traveller, someone who wants their itinerary served with a side of chaos and charm. You'll wander from teahouses to techno clubs, hike a mountain before breakfast, and maybe have your fortune told… by a bird! And yes, there is an abandoned UFO village. It's real, weird, and oddly beautiful in that retro-futurist, crumbling-coastline way. Welcome to Taipei: modern yet timeless, fast yet thoughtful, with just enough eccentricity to help explore taipei in 5 days in ways that will feed stories you'll retell for years. Taipei is often overlooked on "cool cities" lists, but it shouldn't be. This 5-day, 4-night itinerary blends iconic sights with local secrets and surreal diversions. You'll start midweek and finish with a weekend buzz, when the city leans into its creative energy and caffeinated charm. Before you go: Where to stay The city's MRT makes everything accessible, so base yourself on your vibe. For cafes, leafy streets, and a mellow pace, stay in Da'an or Dongmen. If you're into night markets and karaoke bars, try Ximending, where youth culture glows past midnight. In case you rather a mix of the above, Zhongshan has design hotels, riverside paths, and low-key speakeasies. And if hot springs or forest trails are more appealling to you, Beitou offers a retreat feel, just 30 minutes from the city centre. Day 1: Peaks, parks & hidden pours Start your Taipei adventure above it all. A short walk from Xiangshan MRT leads to Elephant Mountain, a brisk 20-minute climb rewarding you with a jaw-dropping panorama of the city, with Taipei 101 rising like a steel bamboo shoot. Go early for a soft morning light. It's an energising first glimpse into Taipei's love affair with contrasts. From peak to past, descend into Sisi South Village, a low-slung warren of repurposed military homes just minutes away. Now a creative space, it blends indie shops, vintage memorabilia, and quiet courtyards with an unbeatable photo op: crumbling walls in the foreground, Taipei 101 towering just behind. Grab breakfast here — we suggest soy milk and a flaky shaobing — at a village cafe. After a rewarding uphill walk, it's time to explore Taipei's flavours Come midday, head over to Yongkang Street, a micro-neighbourhood punching above its weight in flavour. Start with a steaming bowl of beef noodle soup, Lan Jia Gua Bao or Yong Kang Beef Noodles spark local debates, then follow with icy mango shaved ice or a flaky scallion pancake from a curbside stall. Taipei eats best when you graze. Refuelled, dive into the creative chaos of Huashan 1914 Creative Park, a former sake distillery turned cultural powerhouse. Stroll among ivy-covered warehouses now home to design studios, pop-up installations, experimental bookstores, and even an upside down house! It's industrial bones with a creative heartbeat. As evening sets in, wander towards Ningxia Night Market, a more compact and local alternative to Shilin. Follow your nose toward sizzling taro balls, flame-grilled squid, and chewy oyster omelets. The pace is frenzied, and the flavors unapologetically bold. Cap your night with a cocktail behind a curtain. HANKO 60, hidden in plain sight as a vintage cinema façade in Ximending, leads into a moody speakeasy with jazz notes and retro glamour. This is Taipei's night in a nutshell, just enough mystery, just enough magic. Day 2: Urban oddities & neon dreams Start your second day with a step into the miniature. Tucked away in Zhongshan, the Miniatures Museum of Taiwan is a gem filled with painstakingly crafted dollhouses, pocket-sized palaces, and entire storybook towns rendered in meticulous detail. There's a surprising stillness to the experience. From tiny to ridiculous, head to Modern Toilet Restaurant in Ximending for lunch. This parody of fine dining invites you to sit on actual toilet seats while being served curry in miniature commodes and soft-serve swirled into tiny urinals. It's toilet humour at its most photogenic, the selfies are non-negotiable. Back outside, dive into Ximending itself. This pedestrian-only playground is Taipei's hub of youth culture: equal parts open-air catwalk and street art gallery. Hunt down niche fashion boutiques, pause for bubble tea, and catch live performances. Every alley pulses with colour and chaos. Or for something gentler, wind down at Capybara Knight, a cosy cafe where the world's largest rodents roam freely. It's a surprisingly serene moment: cappuccino in hand, capybara by your feet. When lights go down, they go big at Shilin Night Market, Taipei's largest. Towering fried chicken cutlets, sizzling oyster omelets, sugar-dusted mochi. You'll smell it all before you see it. If you still have energy, end with a nightcap at a tucked-away speakeasy like Ounce or Bar PUN, where cocktail theatre plays out behind hidden doors. Day 3: Coastal curiosities & imperial treasures Shake off the city for a morning of strange architecture and sea air. Head north to the area around Wanli UFO Village, a half-forgotten relic of 1970s sci-fi optimism. Originally a beachfront resort with pod-shaped Futuro and Venturo houses, the project was later abandoned. While many structures are gone or inaccessible, some remaining alien domes offer a glimpse into this surreal past. Note: Some structures are demolished or privately owned and may still be lived in. Being respectful is advised, as well as staying outside fences, and only taking photos. Access is limited and should be treated with care. Just south along the coast, Yehliu Geopark offers an entirely different natural strangeness. Wind and wave erosion have sculpted the shoreline into a geological sculpture park: mushroom rocks, honeycomb craters, and the famous Queen's Head. It's both alien and earthly, walking the trails feels like pacing through nature's art exhibit. By late afternoon, swap wind for dynasty at the National Palace Museum. Back in Taipei, this giant holds over 600,000 artifacts from China's imperial past: jade carvings, scrolls, bronze, delicate porcelain. It's a vault of millennia. Don't miss the jadeite cabbage and the curiously famous meat-shaped stone. For dinner, nearby Shilin offers refined Taiwanese staples, such as three-cup chicken or braised pork belly in polished, quiet restaurants. And if you're not ready to rush home, consider winding down at The Malt (near Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT). This cosy, low-lit whisky bar offers a sophisticated atmosphere with an extensive selection of spirits, perfect for a relaxed evening and a quiet conversation. It's the perfect counterbalance to a day of coastlines, time capsules, and dynastic wonder. Day 4: Grand statements & riverside revelry Start the day with grandeur. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, crowned with its blue-and-white pagoda roof and flanked by sweeping staircases, is one of Taipei's most iconic landmarks. From 9am to 5pm, you can catch the changing of the guard on the hour: a solemn, balletic ritual that draws crowds. Beyond the central hall, roam among the beautiful surrounding gardens and lotus ponds. Late morning calls for a detour into Taipei's flea market underworld. Beneath the Fúhe Bridge, the air buzzes with barter and the scent of vintage vinyl. This gritty, sprawling market is a trove of randomness: jade bracelets, second-hand cameras, army jackets. It's dusty, chaotic, and deliciously local. Perfect for treasure hunters or people-watchers. Grab a late lunch from a humble vendor nearby or head back toward the east side for an afternoon among neon and nostalgia at the Taipei Pop Music Centre. This angular structure in Nangang celebrates Mandopop with immersive exhibits and striking architecture. Whether you're a Jay Chou fan or not, the vibe is electric and modern. Bike hauling: a great way to explore the city As the sky softens, hop on a YouBike and follow the riverside trail. The path from Songshan to Rainbow Riverside Park offers a lesser-seen angle on Taipei 101, framed by bridges, basketball courts, and sweeping water views. By twilight, Rainbow Bridge glows to life: a curve of LED colour floating over the Keelung River. Sunset here hits different. Wrap the day with dinner in the Songshan District, whether it's beef noodle soup or dry-aged yakitori. But before you call it a night, try your luck with one of Taipei's most eccentric divinations: fortune telling by a bird. Found near temples like Songshan Ciyou or tucked in night market corners, this delightful ritual involves a songbird picking a card revealing your fate. Strange? Definitely. But also a poetic end to a day that balanced power, play, and perspective. Day 5: Brunch & Bon Voyage Ease into your final morning with one of Taipei's quiet rituals: a traditional breakfast. Skip the hotel buffet and find a local favourite like Fuhang Soy Milk. There, a spread of warm soy milk (doujiang), flaky scallion pancakes, and freshly fried youtiao (dough sticks) offers more than sustenance, it's Taipei's heartbeat in edible form. For a last-minute stroll and souvenir fix, Dihua Street in Dadaocheng is a strong contender. Morning light filters over baroque shophouses filled with tea canisters, handmade soaps, dried fruits, and craft shops. You'll find it relaxed, walkable, and just the right blend of heritage and hip for a final wander. Whether flying from Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) or Songshan Airport (TSA), the MRT and airport buses make getting there painless. Just leave enough time to grab a last-minute pineapple cake or two. Until next time, Taipei This 5-day itinerary has swept from mountaintop sunrises to riverside neon, from imperial art to fried chicken alleys, and from cats in cafes to birds that tell your fortune. It's less about checking off landmarks and more about collecting moments, collecting memories that smell like soy broth or sound like laughter bouncing off a karaoke bar's brick walls. A short trip as such gives just enough time to find a rhythm. But don't be surprised if you leave with plans already brewing, whether it's to soak in Beitou's hot springs, hike Yangmingshan's volcanic trails, or track down more of those secret bars. Taipei lingers. In the details, in the snacks, in the strangeness. And if you've made it this far, chances are… you'll be back in no time.
