If you are a clam lover, one of my favourite place to have Ramen is Konjiki Hototogisu. Konjiki Hototogisu was founded in 2006 by Chef Atsushi Yamamoto in Tokyo, Japan. He was awarded the prestigious Tokyo Michelin Bib Gourmand title consecutively for 4 years! Even so, a bowl of ramen would not cost you more than $17 a bowl!
If you would like to grab a drink and enjoy the starry sky when night falls, Privé is undeniably one of the best place in CHIJMES to have it.
If you would like some drinks, tapas accompanied with 'Live' Football matches, The Winery is perfect for you!
If you would like instagrammable food places, The Glasshouse, Hvala and Almost Famous Craft Beer Bar are the to-gos!
