“And get excited for Michelin-rated chef Pepe Moncayo (Cranes) to debut his Singapore showpiece Jiwa Singapura at Tysons Galleria early next year”

“Inspired by one of the most eclectic culinary scenes in the world, Chef Moncayo brings with him 10 years of cooking and living in Singapore to Jiwa Singapura. The design of Jiwa Singapura takes inspiration from the modern built forms of Singapore with traditional patterns. This new concept will give the D.C. area a taste of some of Singapore's boldest flavors through their street-food culture and high-end dining.”

“There is serious heart to be had at the centre of the city, thanks to Chef Pepe Moncayo's elegant spot, where novel ingredients are brilliantly weaved into the "concept" menu. What emerges is a sumptuous mashup of dishes with Spanish and Japanese influence. The space is cavernous, modern, yet inviting—with a polished bar, black-tile floors, and sultry metals. Most go for the "kaiseki," but à la carte items are well worth their weight.”
