Papi
In 2004, Italian duo Stephane Colleoni and Diego Chairini brought us the superb fine dining restaurant Oso. This year, they opened a trattoria, Papi, in the gradually moving upscale neighborhood of Mohamed Sultan Road. You get everything you’d expect: A menu heavily based on pizzas and pastas, with a decent selection of antipastis and desserts. […]
Jazz It Up
Jazz birds from The Manhattan Transfer fly into town.
Women Power
A smorgasbord of events is lined up in the international women’s contemporary theater festival Crossroads 2006.
Brewerkz Restaurants & Microbreweries
In the years that it has been around, Brewerkz has established itself as a veritable institution of great beers brewed in-house and stick-to-your-ribs American chow. We have never seen the restaurant quiet at night, and the evening we went was no exception. Families filled the alfresco tables in the earlier part of the evening, giving […]
Le Tonkin Restaurant & Lounge

Outside, there is a lounge area with rattan sofas for lying back with a few cocktails, as well as a dining area with tea candles.

The Bluwaters
Riding on the wave of its successful branch in Sembawang, this eatery has opened a second outlet in the city, serving classic Continental dishes. Set to a grey and black modern and semi-Victorian interior, the three-leveled restaurant’s signature appetizer, the blue tiger prawn flambé with mango, is a must-try, and so too the pasta served […]
Havoc
Havoc is a complete waste of our time and the cast and crew’s talent. If The Offspring’s hit song “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)” was made into a movie, it’d probably turn out just like Havoc—a film that is supposed to be some sort of social commentary, but really is just a glossy piece […]
Superman Returns
Lois Lane (played by Kate Bosworth) and her coworkers at the Daily Planet have been watching the skies hopefully for five years, waiting for Superman’s return. But that’s nothing: It’s been nearly 20 since we saw our hero in 1987’s Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.Largely faithful to the original series but with enough self-parody […]
Just Sounds
Instead of sight, sound takes centerstage in the brilliant and eerie thriller Phobia.
