Buko Nero

It’s a little astonishing to realise that tiny Buko Nero still has such a long reservation list. But then, the biggest draw has always been husband-and-wife team Oscar and Tracy Pasinato, who run the tiny dining room like a trattoria: the Asian-inflected Italian menu changes regularly. Recent favourites included a ragù of pork sausages, an exquisitely buttery squid-ink risotto and the cloud of coconut foam over a pannacotta streaked with gula melaka. Our only gripe is the poor ventilation from the open kitchen.
