Description
Iggy's was opened in 2004 by owner and chef/sommelier Ignatius Chan.[2][3][4] The restaurant was originally located in The Regent Hotel but moved to the Hilton at 581 Orchard Road.[5] The restaurant only had ten tables at each of the two locations, but after moving to its present location, it added an eight-seat dessert bar. There are sixteen chefs in the kitchen.[2] The restaurant is able to offer a scholarship at the Singapore Institute of Technology.[6]
Menu
The restaurant's menu does not follow a particular style of cuisine but instead serves a fusion from different European nations with Asian twists influenced by seasonal produce. The majority of the produce for the restaurant is imported from Japan.[2] Main courses include wagyu beef tongue served with three types of peppers, microgreens, yuzu mustard, and an avocado mousse. A signature dessert served by the restaurant is pound cake accompanied by flavors of Earl Grey tea, milk, and "crumble".[3]
Reception
Frommer's described Iggy's as "deliciously exclusive", providing "culinary works of art" alongside an "exceptional" wine list.[7] CNN Travel said that the lunch menu was of particularly good value and highlighted the tuna carpaccio, pork cheek tagliatelle, and piña colada soufflé dishes.[5]
The restaurant was voted 45th best in the world in The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2009 and rose to 28th in 2010.[3] It rose a single place in 2011, and again to 26th in 2012. It was awarded the title of Best Restaurant in Asia in 2012.[8] Named number one in the Miele Guide of Asia's Top 20 restaurants in 2008, with the two Michelin starred L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Hong Kong named as the runner-up.[9] And was named on two more occasions since.[10] Aun Koh, the founder of the Miele Guide has described Iggy's concepts as "setting standards regionally and internationally".[11]
