Reif+James
Chef Refaie Kee, formerly of Zuko Bistro, has quietly opened this restaurant among the ever-burgeoning lifestyle precinct around the Robertson Quay area. And it seems to be doing pretty well. The many times we’ve peered inside to the clean lined and subdued toned interior, the restaurant has always been peppered with diners eating elegantly presented […]
Sebastien’s Bistro
We can’t wax lyrical enough about this simple bistro restaurant—they do French classics in a simple traditional way with good old-fashioned service (we mean staff who actually know what they’re talking about) but without being hoity-toity about it all—and it works. Sebastien’s has a lovely relaxed vibe to it that means it can be perfect […]
Private Island Paradise
If you’re trying to avoid the airport at all costs, Nikoi Island (for bookings call 9635-1950) is perfect for a weekend getaway. This brand spanking new resort opening May 1 is conveniently located just off Bintan, only two-and-a-half hours away by ferry and overland. But don’t expect a mass family resort—this is luxury and exclusivity. […]
Sing’theatre founder and director, Nathalie Ribette
Edith Piaf fans will love this tribute to the French diva.
The Red Cockatoo
It’s remarkable to see how German filmmakers, faced with such overdone subject matter as the political horrors of their past, keep their films interesting. The Red Cockatoo is yet another take on this theme.It’s 1961 in Dresden and 20-year-old Siggi (Max Riemelt, Napola) is an aspiring artist working as a scenery painter. He soon meets […]
The Number 23
The most exciting thing about The Number 23 isn’t the movie itself, but how all your friends are going to start looking for hidden meanings in their IC and mobile phone numbers after watching it. The show itself, oddly enough the 23rd film helmed by director Joel Schumacher (Phone Booth), is pretty standard fair, with […]
Whitebait & Kale
What used to be one of the trendier restaurants in town, Whitebait & Kale has since slipped off the cool radar just a little bit, overtaken by the likes of P.S. Café and Graze. But this cozy restaurant is still commendable for its fresh seafood and healthy choice of mains and pastas. Our appetizer of […]
Brad Little as Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera
We spoke to Brad Little, the Phantom in the upcoming The Phantom Of The Opera and asked him about wearing a mask, what acting means to him and if he’s anything like the Phantom in real life.
Isabella Chiam from The Swimming Instructor
Resident rich babe Jan (played by Isabella Chiam) is caught in a steamy love triangle with her hunky swimming instructor and a nice, sweet boy-next-door in the play The Swimming Instructor. We have a poolside tête-à-tête with the bikini-clad hottie.
300
300, the cinematic adaptation of Sin City creator Frank Miller’s graphic novel, has two things in abundance: Shouting and violence. Seriously, forget character moments or peaceful reflections from any of the key players in this epic. Those are few and far between and are usually just lead-ins to—you guessed it—more shouting and violence.Inspired by the […]
