the. Indulge Restaurant
Tucked away at the basement of The Cathay is this little inconspicuous eatery. We’ve heard good things about the grub here, so we gave it a try one weekend evening. Despite some initial hiccups over our table (we had made a reservation, only to be annoyingly told to return 15 minutes later), we got a […]
Tampopo
Tampopo relocated from its original basement location to the first floor of the Liang Court Shopping Centre; to be honest, we much prefer the vibe of the old Tampopo. What was once a small, intimate Japanese eatery has now morphed into a large, bustling diner offering the usual ramen, bento sets and sashimi, although its […]
Tin Hill Bistro Winebar
It’s always nice to discover new eating places away from town, but we were rather disappointed with this bistro located near Sixth Avenue. Its executive set lunch, was not very good value for money. It comprised a run‑of‑the‑mill Caesar salad, a main course of spaghetti that came with stale‑tasting chicken, a slice of miserably dry […]
Sweet Salty Spicy
The Rail Mall may be a little out of the way, but we were curious enough about this place that calls itself a Thai food market and canteen, to go the distance. The interior did not look anything like a market or canteen, but was a mid-range contemporary restaurant with soft lighting and candles on […]
The White Rabbit | Review
It´s the latest “in” place in the hip Dempsey vicinity, but has received mixed reviews since its opening. We were apprehensive about going, but fortunately The White Rabbit passed the test. In fact, so hot was the restaurant that our attempt to reserve a table was initially unsuccessful, but we were advised to go down […]
Hibiki
Hibiki opens out to a bay view and the F1 track amid simple décor. However, we were there for the highlight of its menu, sumiyaki (barbequed food over hot charcoal), which offered a decent variety of seafood, red meat, poultry and non-meat items like mushrooms and eggplants. We loved the juicy, well-marinated yakitori, but not […]
The Garden
It’s hard not to loosen up as you settle into The Garden. Its alfresco area sits by a tranquil pool and garden, situated in the tropical setting of the Sentosa Resort & Spa. If you don’t have any meals planned for you as part of your wellness packages at Spa Botanica, pick up the ala […]
Food for Thought
Food for Thought is the second social enterprise opened by the same people behind the School of Thought tuition center for the less privileged. But more about that later. Walking into the small cafe, we were instantly charmed by its cozy, intimate décor. The menu is a straightforward list of Western soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts—with […]
Tokkuri Japanese Restaurant
We’ve been meaning to check out this restaurant at Icon Village because we work just around the corner, so one weekday lunch we made a concerted effort to go. We were greeted with a clean, soothing, wood‑oriented interior and politely smiling wait staff clad in customary kimonos. Our waitress made some recommendations, displaying good knowledge. […]
Al Qasr | Review
Still bustling Holland V has a myriad of colorful restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a restaurant in Singapore that serves authentic, super-exotic Lebanese, Middle Eastern and North African chow like Al Qasr. Armed with loads of experience, executive chef Ghazi Georges Khanashat churns out tasty delectables, […]
