The Hilton Tokyo’s Metropolitan Grill welcomes the owner-chef of Michelin-starred Burnt Ends in Singapore Dave Pynt, who is having his first pop-up appearance in Japan from Feb. 22 to 24. This is a rare chance to experience the menu of the legendary restaurant, which is known as one of the most hard-to-reserve in Singapore.
Located in Singapore’s tranquil shopping and dining hideaway Dempsey Hill, Burnt Ends serves Australian barbecue cooked in a wood-fired brick kiln, paired with boutique wines and spirits.
During the event, guests will have the opportunity to sample dishes carefully prepared by Pynt, who will use various smoking, flaming and slow cooking techniques to bring out the best in every ingredient, including local produce. The pop-up offering will feature a nine-course lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and an 11-course dinner from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Lunch is ¥15,000 (plus ¥7,000 for beverage pairing), while dinner is ¥23,000 (plus ¥10,000 for beverage pairing). The courses include some of Pynt’s signature dishes, such as smoked quail egg and caviar; beef marmalade and house pickles; and venison, smoked parsnips and anticuchos. The beverage pairing will be an experience in itself, with Australian wine from Penfolds, carefully selected sake and Hilton Tokyo’s exclusively brewed MG black lager.
Pynt, who hails from Perth, enjoyed a spectacular career before opening Burnt Ends, apprenticing under world culinary heavyweights such as Tetsuya Wakuda at Tetsuya’s in Sydney, Rene Redzepi, owner-chef of Denmark’s famous Noma, Victor Arguinzoniz, owner-chef of Asador Etxebarri in Spain, and Fergus Henderson at St. John and St. John Bread and Wine in London.
“We are super excited to bring Burnt Ends to Tokyo for the first time to showcase our style of cooking with the amazing ingredients and craftsmanship of Japan,” Pynt said.
Pynt was the winner of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants Chefs’ Choice Award 2017. Burnt Ends, which opened in 2013, has retained its Michelin star since it was first awarded in 2018. It also ranked 34th on the 2021 edition of the San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants list and 14th on the 2021 San Pellegrino Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list.
