Venezia Gelateria
These guys started out in the gelato business, and have expanded their repertoire with the opening of their latest outlet at the Singapore Art Museum. But for dessert junkies, yes, gelato is still on the menu. When we walked into the restaurant, we were immediately struck by the simple but very tasteful decor: Sleek tables […]
Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro | Review
Greenwood Fish Bistro looks and smells like a fish shop inside, with fresh seafood such as oysters and fish on display. The exhibit was interesting, but the stench was really pretty extraordinary, so we opted to dine alfresco on Greenwood Avenue. The simple bistro is a little removed from the other eateries in the area, […]
Blue Lobster
Positioning itself as an one-stop shop for your seafood needs, Blue Lobster offers both restaurant dining as well as live seafood and gourmet food products for takeaway. The restaurant section is long and narrow, with a mixture of booths and tables, and nicely decorated with illustrations of marine life. We were one of the first […]
Sun with Moon Japanese Dining & Café
After having enjoyed great dining experiences at Sun’s first restaurant in Singapore, at CHIJMES, we looked forward to our lunch here, their second restaurant. We were not disappointed. From start to finish, our experience was seamlessly good. Other diners obviously think highly of this restaurant too, as it was teeming when we arrived. The manager […]
The Simple Life
Hawker fare at cafés or restaurants can be a bit tricky. While we usually enjoy the air-conditioned setting that comes with such establishments, the food is often mediocre. Thankfully, the recently opened The Simple Life, which takes over from former noodle place Nooch, does not suffer this fate. While it’s not thoroughly original, The Simple […]
The View From Space Mountain
Hong Kong Disneyland opened to the public recently and, despite some early reports, it’s starting to work its magic.
Academy Bistro
This elegant minimalist bistro is situated on the ground floor of the new Supreme Court. We were first for lunch, but the place quickly filled up with mostly legal types in suits. Jimmy Chok, of the former Salt restaurant, is behind this operation, and it was his good reputation in fusion cookery that drew us […]
Gourmet Cellar
This is the second Japanese/European restaurant to open in the last few months. More than a restaurant, Gourmet Cellar is also a food and wine shop, and a deli. Fortunately, with two stories and abundant floor space, it can comfortably accommodate these different services. We were seated at a nice window table, which marked the […]
Chico’s & Charlie’s
Themed Tex-Mex, the décor was ranch style with cacti and colorful tiles thrown in, so our expectations on arrival were very low. We were, however, pleased to find that we had arrived in time for happy hour (daily 6-8pm), and immediately ordered margaritas all round. Also available one-for-one were the house pours and Kilkenny and […]
Eau La La
Despite a nearly empty restaurant when we arrived, the waitress tried to seat us in an obscure corner, so we had to request a more centrally sited table. After browsing the petite cellar, we selected a very reasonably priced Stoneleigh sauvignon blanc and then ordered. The chorizo was tasty though very spicy, while the deep […]
