Pyramisa
The newly‑opened Egyptian‑themed Pyramisa puts a spin on multi‑concept restaurants by housing a dance studio, bar and restaurant all under one roof. So when we came here one Sunday evening, we were full of curiosity. Walking in, the establishment was empty and we were greeted with a blank stare by a lone waiter with whom […]
Kazbar | Review
We were thrilled to hear that this Middle Eastern restaurant from Capital Square had opened another outlet in Cuppage Terrace. We’re big fans of chef Amine Nassrani’s cuisine, which we think is one of the most authentic we’ve tasted so far. The ambiance of the restaurant sets the right mood for a sensual Arabian-themed tête‑à‑tête. […]
Shin Yeh Restaurant
Much like how BreadTalk brought in the Taiwanese Din Tai Fung to local shores, Tung Lok Group has brought in Taiwan’s Shin Yeh. The interior is huge, quiet and tasteful. Large windows gave a lovely waterfront view. The smartly‑attired wait staff tried hard to please, but fumbled and weren’t very pro‑active—although we took quite a […]
Jing
All was relatively quiet at this high‑end restaurant by hotelier Loh Lik Peng and chef Yong Bing Ngen when we dropped by one weekend evening for dinner. With somber, dark walls, a gold, origami‑like ceiling and elegant furniture, Jing has an opulent, but oppressive feel to it—save for the lovely waterfront view outside. After flipping […]
Viva Mexico | Review
Part of the cluster of restaurants in the revamped Cuppage Terrace, this cheerful Mexican restaurant is done up in vivid blue hues, shocking reds and bright yellows; and comes complete with terracotta floors and cacti. We opted to sit inside (it’s quieter and comfier) and kicked off with a complimentary serving of nachos, which was […]
Café Salivation
With pastel pink décor and a shimmering chandelier, you might be forgiven for passing this little café off as a girlie hangout of the kind that serves fruit tea and cupcakes. But have a meal here and you’ll be surprised—and impressed. Offering tasty vegetarian fare in the form of pasta, sandwiches, pizzas and Mexican wraps, […]
Omar Shariff Authentic Indian Cuisine
This North Indian restaurant is named after the renowned award-winning Egyptian actor who acted in Hollywood films like Doctor Zhigavo.
HK Kim Gary Restaurant
For a restaurant usually beset with long queues, things were surprisingly quiet here on the weekend we went, although the mall was packed. Styled like a Hong Kong teahouse, HK Kim Gary Restaurant has a no‑frills vibe. All the tables are placed fairly close together, the décor is simple, and the cheerful wait staff are […]
Botak Jones
By Jones! It’s another Botak joint! That might have been your reaction (it was ours) when you realize that Bernie Utchenik’s mini Botak Jones empire has reached good old Bedok. Having recently tried the humongous servings of authentic American grub at his other outlets, we decided to check this one out and it passed our […]
Royal China At Raffles
One of the most established fancy Chinese restaurants in town, Royal China has updated its look from a dark red, heavy interior to one that is light, airy and baby blue. Its menu is best described as Chinese classics done well, and the clientele come here knowing what they are going to get rather than […]
