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
The décor at Le Tonkin is modern and sophisticated, belying its laid-back atmosphere. 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. Inside, the setting is more formal, with chintz curtains, plush lounges and clean white linen tablecloths—a perfect […]
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 […]

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 […]
No Signboard Seafood Restaurant
Seated beside the glass walls of this modern restaurant, we enjoyed a good view of the riverfront—accompanied by loud conversation and laughter. We liked that the waitress who took our order was attentive and efficient but not overbearing with her recommendations. In fact, service was promptly delivered without a hitch. And even better, all our […]
Tandoor
Serving northern Indian specialties, no guesses what kind of food is its forte. Tandoor, of course.
