Braun Büffel Creative Director, Fabio Panzeri, has recently unveiled the new store design concept at ION Orchard which sets the tone for a whole new Braun Büffel brand retail experience that invites customers to feel welcomed and relaxed.
The architectural philosophy of the new design concept radiates contemporary luxury where a fusion of heritage, modernity and industrial chic meets – keeping up with the modern eclecticism that characterises the House’s new collections.
The new contemporary vision for the brand is to create a new Braun Büffel brand experience across multiple physical and digital touch-points. The launch of the new store design concept is the first step of the House’s new business strategy.
The mood within the store is one of modern luxury paired with quality craftsmanship where innovation is created through the complementary combination of material finishes:
• A store façade that fuses brushed champagne gold fonts against soft white frames, illuminating the luxuriousness and exclusivity of the boutique.
• Marble stone tiles in light grey with streaks of white tones juxtaposed against hints of leather finishes act as a feature wall, creating a modern eclectic outlook, mirroring theHouse’s new collections.
• Artisanal hand-brushed finishes on the cement screed provide a three-dimensional textured effect on both the floors and walls – paying homage to the House’s penchant forartistic expressions of creativity.
• A curved accent wall in pastel rose pink accentuates the sophistication andelegance of the women’s collection.
TECHNICAL INNOVATION. DESIGN INGENUITY. SUSTAINABILITY. PASSION FOR THE CRAFT. These are the essential design elements and pillars that form the Braun Büffel Spring/Summer 2020 collection, where diversity and dynamic personal style shapes the collection theme of “Individualism”.
This season, Braun Büffel breaks away from conventional classics to explore designs that transition effortlessly to fit the modern lifestyle. This unconventional collection accentuates Creative Director, Fabio Panzeri’s vision of the brand’s progression of a diverse mix of materials from nylon to leathers with embossed exotic prints and a new reiteration of the #BBMONOGRAM that forms the men’s and women’s collection.
Braun Büffel’s evolving aesthetic is apparent in the new collection and demonstrates theheritage brand’s immense potential.

A speciality yakiniku fast food restaurant from Japan with 29 branches in Asia; Yakiniku Like is set to launch its first-ever outlet at Paya Lebar Quarter in Singapore. Hailing from Japan, the restaurant is brought in by Dining Innovation Group which has 260 restaurants worldwide. A quick service concept that serves orders within three minutes, the restaurant sees snaking queues outside its outlets every day. Here, yakiniku aficionados can savour top-quality meats, from wagyu beef to karubi (beef short plate) and harami (beef skirt steak), prime karubi (boneless short rib) to misuji (top blade). Pork belly, pork jowl and chicken thigh are available here as well.
The highly indulgent wagyu steak set, with a marbling score of seven to eight (equivalent to Wagyu Grade A4 and above), is priced at just S$29.80.
Yakiniku Like is the first restaurant in Singapore to offer individual electric smokeless grills for customers. There are also shared grills available for two diners to use. The grills are imported from Taiwan, and specially customised for the Singapore outlet.
An establishment steeped in culinary history, the 1-Group introduces Zorba, The Greek Taverna – a unique Greek experience that brings authentic dishes with age-old traditions from the azure Mediterranean Sea to sunny Singapore. Sitting along the waterfront of the Singapore River in Clarke Quay, Zorba aims to transport guests to a Greek isle with nourishing simplicity set along the picturesque riverbank.
Taking pride in their culinary traditions, Zorba presents a selection of crowd-pleasing dishes from appetisers, pristine seafood and meats, and tempting desserts. Rooted in Greek heritage and culture, Zorba sources its traditional ingredients direct from Greek suppliers.
A signature option at Zorba is the extensive selection of Greek’s Mixed Grill Platter ($88). This hearty sharing platter includes cheese-stuffed bifteki, pork gyros, chicken and beef souvlaki, lamb chops and Loukaniko. Perfect for sharing with friends and family of two to three, this platter, and served with a side of fried potatoes, salad, and tzatziki. Another substantial dish is the classic grilled platter of Souvlaki ($20) that showcases juicy grilled meat skewers served with chips and tzatziki salad. Zorba's version features the traditional Greek selection; Argentinean air-flown Black Angus striploin, Iberico pork, and Brazilian chicken breast. The meats are marinated for 48 hours in a proprietary blend of spices before being grilled to perfection, making for a full-flavoured and tender bite.
An all-time favourite, the Htapothi Sti Skhara ($30) features a heritage recipe from the isles of Greece. The octopus is first tenderised by hand as the chef beats it with a smooth rock, after which it is sprinkled with salt water and rubbed with the same rock in a circular motion until the tentacles curl up. The octopus is then slow grilled atop a low-burning charcoal fire with sea-salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, for a delicate smoky char.
Other noteworthy grilled items include Tsipoura ($32), which utilises sea bream flown in from Greece. The ancient Greeks held the sea bream or 'Orata' (Italian for 'golden') in high regard due to the golden flecks in its eyes, and it was frequently offered to the goddess Aphrodite for its attractiveness and meaty flesh. Keeping the seasoning light and clean, the fish is drizzled with lemon, garlic and olive oil and grilled on a plancha for a meal worthy of a deity.
Aside from pristine seafood and quality cuts of meat, the Greeks are equally known for their saccharine desserts. Fit for any sweet-tooth, Greek Baklava ($12) presents a rich sweet flaky pastry made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and held together with honey. Another dessert staple includes Yiaourti Me Meli ($8) - Greek yoghurt with lashes of honey and crunchy walnuts.
Along with the great tasting food, Zorba also serves Katogi Averoff wines from Metsovo by the bottle to further enhance the Mediterranean experience.
