10. Brutal by Wadoughs
From the dessert geniuses behind Wadoughs comes something unexpectedly bold—Brutal by Wadoughs, a moody, minimalist spot that’s not just about sweets anymore. This is their first dive into savory dishes, and honestly? They’re killing it.
The vibe? Very Brutalist chic—raw concrete walls, unfinished textures, and a grayscale palette that’s as intense as the name. Chef Wado (yes, the Wado Tan Siman) took cues from the building’s original form and turned it into a statement.

On the menu, you’ll find Filipino favorites with a twist—no basic adobo here. Instead, expect playful reworks of classics and global dishes that strike a balance between comfort food and chef flex. Even the colors of the food play into the theme—black, gray, and everything in between.
