Jumbo Seafood Gallery @ Riverwalk
It has been quite a while since we visted Jumbo, so we thought it was high time for a re-review. We found the restaurant relatively uncrowded one weekday evening. Although we chose to sit indoors, the river outside, along with the setting sun, made for a lovely ambiance. The restaurant was done up in soothing […]
eM by the River Review
One should never expect culinary delights from a place which also doubles as a bar. This expectation is not dashed by eM by the River, a small café-bar located where the Liquid Room use to be. This venture, by the same people who brought you Tivoli, is a good place to chill with friends. The […]

The homely, unpretentious interior always makes for a good setting, as does the display counter showcasing […]
Love and Honour
We are all used to our samurai flicks being full of adolescent-cool bloody slash action (think Zatoichi) or brooding masterpieces Akira Kurosawa (Ran) style. However, Japanese film-maker veteran Yoji Yamada (The Hidden Blade) breaks the mould with his latest offering which is a subtle tale about love, obligation and duty in Edo Japan.Shinnojo Mimura (Takuya […]
