Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant | Review
Brotzeit boasts top-notch service and a commendable menu. The crowd, which comprises mostly of expatriates, was lapping it up as they downed the many offerings of beer, liquor and the wurstel (read: Sausages). One of the must-tries here is the Knoblauchwurst (smoked pork garlic sausage with roasted potatoes and sauerkraut). The meat was firm and […]
Al FORNO (EAST COAST)
Like an old friend, AL FORNO EAST COAST has been around a long time. It’s the kind of restaurant that never gets packed, but has a steady stream of regulars that keep it humming along. It’s where the locals go when they want a pizza they know is going to be good, where the waiters call you by […]
Club Chinois
Not much has changed at the enchanting Club Chinois, and that’s a good thing. This Shanghai chic boudoir still has silk curtains, tall-backed chairs, and those very pop-art fluorescent pictures of cheong sam-ed women gazing out at you.

Its familiar cow print ceilings, wooden tables and an enormous wine rack create a casual ambiance, and everytime we’ve been there, almost everything we’ve had is good, such as the thin-crusted pizza with tomato, mozzarella, pink peppercorns, avocado […]
Wasabi Bistro
As far as hotel Japanese restaurants go, this one is pretty utilitarian. The overall look is office cafeteria with a few odds and ends thrown in, such as an Oriental screen and something that resembles a shower curtain in the middle of the dining area. To look at something more interesting, choose a window seat […]
Rivercafe
This sister restaurant to the well-established BROTH in Tanjong Pagar holds it own after its renovation in 2006, when it stripped back to a more minimalist and tidy feel inside, with the menu similarly refined. For lunch and dinner expect meat dishes like osso bucco and roast lamb rump, salads and pastas which are always […]
