Skinny Pizza
Spa Esprit Group’s Skinny Pizza offers the one‑of‑a‑kind Skinny Pizza. The pizza is a far cry from the doughy or thin‑crusted pizzas you often get. Instead, it’s light as air, and super crispy and crackly. It comes with fun, fresh and tasty toppings (vegetarian flavors included). Best thing: You can eat a few slices before […]
Verve Bar & Bistro
The erstwhile Turquoise Room has been given the once over and is now back as Verve Bar & Bistro. Turquoise Room’s garish hues have been replaced with something more suitably subtle, with white stucco walls and black trimmings forming a comforting contrast against the verdant surroundings. It was fairly unpopulated on a Sunday afternoon, which […]
El Toro Restro Bar Review
Located right on top of popular beer joint The Dubliner Irish Pub, this Mexican restaurant is a great place to kick back and relax over lunch or dinner. We particularly like doing lunch here, as the set lunch menus are really bang for your buck. The alfresco area is also great for you to just […]
Casa Verde
The cafe is undergoing renovation until October 2015. This new, family-and dog‑friendly café set in the lovely Botanic Gardens is already so popular that you’ll be tripping over rows of yapping pooches, snotty toddlers and their tai-tai owners while fighting to get to your hard won seat. Run by the Les Amis Group and replacing […]
Empress Jade

Perched right atop The Jewel Box, this new restaurant’s full‑glass enclosure offers a dazzling vista view of the harborfront and the sea beyond, providing the perfect setting for romantic meals or intimate wedding receptions. The menu, which is crafted […]
Hawaii Seafood Restaurant
Complete with unobstructed ocean views and a balmy sea breeze, this new seafood haven occupies the prime corner spot where Chin Wah Heng used to be. Staying true to its namesake, the menu fuses ocean‑fresh catch with loads of fruit, vegetables and nuts. We definitely recommend the wonderfully textured seafood with pumpkin broth, chockfull with […]
Dai Ka Jie
On the newly opened top floor of The Heeren Shops, Dai Ka Jie stands out from the rest of the F&B franchises. Literally translated into “big sister” from Cantonese, it oozes old school vibes with its retro décor and a menu comprising home‑styled Chinese food (the kind your granny probably has the recipe to). We […]
Lerk Thai
This Thai restaurant chain is exactly what it sets out to be: A decent mid‑range eatery that offers fast, reasonably‑priced food. So don’t expect high‑end Thai food or authentic street food; what you get here is middle‑of‑the‑road—acceptable Thai food in a modern, café‑like setting. We liked the variety in the menu, and had a mix […]
The Food Place
The Food Place ups the cool ante on food courts with is its Roman empire‑like, coliseum themed‑décor, but that’s the tip of the, erm, food court. Alongside perennial fare like chicken rice, hotpots and prata, there’s Tenya—the first‑ever tempura bar in a food court where you can savor scallops, prawns, unagi and salmon encased in […]
10 at Claymore – Modern Bistro Grill
