Oasis

Living up to its name, the open-air restaurant Oasis, located just next to the swimming pool, boasts a warm and relaxed atmosphere. And it was certainly warm when we popped by for lunch one sunny afternoon. The waiters, all garbed in bermudas and Hawaiian-influenced shirts, were fast, friendly and eager to please. Oasis specializes in […]

Andre Wine & Dine

A small and low-key street frontage belies the trendy light-filled interior of this unpretentious French restaurant, previously named Andre (BYO) Restaurant. The setting inside remains the same mix of tasteful yet understated, making it the perfect setting for intimate meals after work or quick business lunches. We were spoilt for choice with the traditional French […]

Graze | Review

On the night we went, the gorgeous alfresco area at Graze was buzzing (even when we left at 11pm). The menu is extensive with lots of delectable offerings, including Asian and Western barbecue, vegetarian, plus a grazing menu. After umming and ahhing over a yummy mojita, we ordered grilled red mullet with salad of blood […]

Music Mavens

Bamboo will dish out sweet rock sounds to take you to sonic wonderland.

Giraffe Restaurant And Bar

Coupled with just the right touches (such as warm colorful lights and sensual lounge music) to make the place cozy, Giraffe is a new two storey restaurant-cum-bar that scores on ambiance. It has sleek and minimalist décor with dashes of sophistication. The menu flaunts primarily continental cuisine. We started our meal with the buffalo mozzarella […]

Pool Grill

We were impressed by the setting of this hotel poolside restaurant. Two covered areas right alongside the sleek modern pool surrounded by greenery create a lovely alfresco setting where patrons can sit outside without being held hostage to the heat. The serene and calm setting belies this restaurant’s location right in the heart of Orchard […]

Paulaner Bräuhaus Singapore

We easily found our way to Paulaner Brauhaus one midweek night, and were ushered to the dining area on the second floor of the three-storey microbrewery. It was surprisingly empty, but that meant better service all around. The high ceiling coupled with warm country-styled décor provided a delightful balance of airy cool and warmth. As […]

Aquadisiac

The hype has died down considerably since this underwater world in a restaurant opened as Nude Supperclub. The entrance is via the shopping mall, which doesn’t do it any favors, but once inside you are ensconced in candlelight, with chandeliers, massive Buddha heads, and sharks prowling the sweeping arc of a huge fish tank. When […]

MezeBar

For a place to lounge around to recover from an afternoon of shopping, or just to hang out at night, consider the new chillout hangout, MezeBar. Decked up with plush cushions and designer armchairs against funky jazz music, MezeBar serves up dim sum (renamed Asian tapas) and teeny tiny desserts. An “a la carte buffet” […]
