New chef and location for Zento

| zento.com.sg |
Old City's Zento Contemporary (138 Chestnut St.) has recently brought in a new chef and partner: Sam Ho, who worked as a sous chef at Morimoto, has joined the fray with Zento owner (and fellow Morimoto alum) Gunawan Wibisono. Ho is handling the kitchen, leaving Wibisono to concentrate on the sushi menu. Ho has introduced hot dishes like salmon "nachos" (fresh salmon, jalapeno, diced tomato and anchovy mayo over fried wontons), kobe beef negimaki and panko-crusted crab cakes.
And above is a shot of Zento's second location, which has a gorgeous outdoor seating area and a liquor license. Let's go, right? Well, it's in the Dempsey Hill neighborhood of Singapore and it opened this past summer. It's gotten a lot of good looks. We remember hearing that Zento was considering doing a West Chester location awhile back -- bit of an upgrade, no?
My old room mate is from Singapore, recently moved back and eats at Zento on the reg. He said it's awesome.
I'm glad they're doing well! Still, I wish they would have a, er, more local location? =D
