One-Ninety
Having had great dining experiences at this restaurant in the past, we looked forward to revisiting it. And we were not disappointed. This restaurant is well known for its fabulous brunches but, as our visit confirmed, its à la carte menu is excellent too. We went there on a weekday night. The restaurant was quiet […]
Top of the M
We were definitely impressed with the views from the windows of this revolving restaurant when we arrived for dinner. The interior was dark and candlelit, making the lights over the city seem even more spectacular. With all tables located next to the windows, we were guaranteed a great view from any seat in the house. […]
Ministry of Sound
It’s the new year, and we need a spanking new venue to party in. The much anticipated Ministry of Sound (MOS), comprising five different dance rooms spanning 40,000 sq. ft. of space, has already made the cut as one of the best clubbing venues here. Over 40,000 revelers have visited the club since it opened […]
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
In our digital age, let’s celebrate Wallace and Gromit—small lumps of plasticine with big, big hearts.In their first feature-length outing, Wallace, the cheese-mad inventor in a green cardy, and his faithful dog Gromit (both voiced by Peter Sallis), are busy with their latest venture as humane pest controllers. They are charged with protecting the town’s […]
The Cellar Door Restaurant
They’re doing something right at The Cellar Door—because this small and homely oldie was chock full of diners for a Sunday night. We were delighted that the menu still has such fantastic combinations of food that we needed several minutes to decide what to order. Eventually we did, with some help from our friendly server, […]
Coq and Bull
For a Friday night this large restaurant remained surprisingly empty while we were there. The décor struck the right balance between being relaxed and casual. With the massive specials board plus the menu in front of us, we struggled to decide. Our decisions were made easier by a bottle of 2003 Cape Mentelle Shiraz, which […]
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Wizard special effects, but the fourth installment won’t set your world on fire.If you haven’t jumped on the Harry Potter bandwagon yet, this is not the time to start – unless you plan on reading the books first. “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” the fourth in the series, is a transitory film, one […]
IndoChine Club Street Restaurant
A group of diners headed to Club Street for lunch and were led into an empty shophouse restaurant decked out with Asian table runners, Khmer Buddhist statues, Balinese wooden furniture, and lots of pillows. Through the course of our meal a few more tables were filled, making the atmosphere a little nicer. We examined the […]
Nanten
The restaurant was full when we arrived for our mid-week lunch, but during the five minutes we were waiting at least three servers came to enquire if we needed help and then tried to find us a table. We were quickly ushered to a vacant table, and asked the server for her recommendations. We ordered […]
V For Vendetta
V For Vendetta is a thoroughly entertaining, but fans of the original comic book may be disgruntled. Whether it’s the loyalists’ feeling of discontent over the treatment of the original graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, or the politically-charged themes that are raised, it’s quite an understatement to say that V For Vendetta […]
