Maison Ikkoku is known for a lot of things. The 80-seat restaurant and bar in the historic Kampong Glam neighborhood has a picturesque patio with views of the nearby Sultan Mosque, Singapore’s largest. The menu lists a Japan Kumamoto Emperor A5 wagyu steak with potatoes, edamame, and miso, starting at S$208 ($150). It also includes a roster of cocktails, such as the S$28 La Vie en Rose with aged sake, French rosé, and edible gold glitter.
