Sushisamba Singapore which will open in Singapore in July and the latest Shiok outlet in Dubai’s Jumeirah Lakes Towers district.In the past year or so, the dining scene in the United Arab Emirates city has been sizzling – and now some Singapore restaurants are jumping in.
The third edition of Dubai’s Michelin Guide will be out on July 4. Currently, it has 11 one-Michelin-starred restaurants and three with two Michelin stars.Dubai is quite the culinary hot spot, with a growing crop of Singapore food and beverage brands venturing to take on the city’s competitive dining scene.
It will not be Farmer’s first rodeo in Dubai. The 40-year-old chef lived there for three years from 2015, when he set up British chef Jason Atherton’s Marina Social restaurant. Like Farmer, he is also familiar with Dubai, having spent more than eight years living and working there. Another Singapore-owned F&B business in Dubai is Shiok restaurant, run by former Singapore Airlines station manager Ivan Lee, 41.
In an interview with The Straits Times in January, he says he has no plans to return to open in the “overly competitive and saturated” Singapore market. “Moreover, Singapore’s strategic location in South-east Asia means these companies see it as a natural landing pad to expand in the region, where they can tap the region’s significant Muslim population.”
In November 2023, Dubai-based Singaporean chef Akmal Anuar, 42, returned home to open modern Malay restaurant Harummanis Sultan Gate in Kampong Glam.Formerly the head chef at one-Michelin-starred Iggy’s at voco Orchard Singapore hotel for seven years, Akmal is the founder of Dubai-based F&B consultancy firm White Rice Co, and runs six restaurants across the UAE and New York.
