Café Le Caire
Since Café le Caire first introduced Singaporeans to smoking a hookah as part of their dining experience, a number of other restaurants have jumped onto the bandwagon. While that trend’s become a little passé, this laid-back Middle Eastern eatery still holds its own. The atmosphere is relaxed—with unobtrusive idle chatter all around and comfortable furniture; […]
The Grill at Hillcrest
The former Coq and Bull has undergone a rebranding exercise and emerged as The Grill at Hillcrest. In essence though, little has changed—the atmosphere remains casual but not too laid back with a homey, European feel, and the menu is heavy on meat with daily blackboard specials. But the quality of the food is much […]

See how students try to initiate change in the coming SMU Arts and Cultural Festival 2006.
The Host
When a US army base disposes of formaldehyde into the Han River, a large, hideous mutant emerges to attack the riverside and abduct several victims, including middle school student Park Hyun-seo (played by newcomer Ah-sung Ko).

Sometimes the best places to eat in a city are the modest holes in the walls. Situated round the side of Gallery Hotel, this well known, small ramen restaurant does only one thing, but does it really well. Seven ramen dishes practically comprise the entire menu. The interior is a cramped air-conditioned space, while the […]
Borgo Italian Restaurant
The latest small restaurant to hit the Sixth Avenue area is Borgo, headed up by Chef Mimmo previously of La Braceria. Borgo is serving what is increasingly becoming a growing trend here—good old fashioned rustic Italian cooking. The restaurant is plain in its appearance with empty walls and high ceilings emphasizing the large window at […]
Sicilia Mia
This humble, open-air cafe, which debuted about a month ago, boasts mainly Italian fare. Tucked away with other small eateries in the boisterous Lau Pa Sat food court, Sicilia Mia can easily be missed if you don’t keep a look out for it. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the décor is simple—tables and […]
