Lunch @ Hashida Sushi
The walk down a narrow corridor (with pebble covered floors) leading to the main dining room, where a long chef’s counter awaits, is very zen. It’s great preparation to concentrate on skilful plates like seasonal nigiri sushi (think sea bream, ark shell and tuna) plus specialties like chawanmushi with fugu shirako (egg custard with blowfish […]

Brunch @ Halia @ Raffles Hotel
There’s something real relaxing about brunching at the iconic Raffles Hotel. The brunch menu here changes on a seasonal basis but might include pancakes with strawberries ($12), Clonkilty black pudding with poached egg ($18) and comforting white bean iberico chorizo stew with sunny side up egg ($16).
Monoyono
The buzz: Lifestyle boutique chain Monoyono has opened their third store in the CBD at Raffles City, offering a range of quaint, retro-inspired knick-knacks and home wares the brand is known for. The vibe: Red brick walls, black steel accents and cagey industrial lighting channels the raw, rustic look of a typical New York loft, […]
Ilo Ilo
The momentous debut feature film by our very own Anthony Chen, which took home the coveted Camera d’Or award at Cannes earlier this year, is a straightforward and unpretentious family drama set in the ‘90s during the financial crisis. Based on Chen’s own childhood, Ilo Ilo is uncomplicated and ordinary; yet it is infused with […]
Brunch @ Lime
For a blowout brunch, fancy schmancy hotel buffets can’t be beat. This new one at Parkroyal at Pickering’s on-site restaurant is lovely. In an airy light filled dining room, swig Piper-Heidsieck Champagne while digging into moreish mushroom risotto (made a la minute), fiery Thai salads and house made gravlax. The servers come round with hot […]
Brunch @ Taratata Bistrot
Chef-owners Bertrand Raguin and Philippe Nouzillat put of some fine French crepes for brunch—made with buckwheat flour, with fillings like ham, egg and cheese ($11)—plus, other eggy classics like oeuf cocotte ($12) or croque madame ($16).
Brunch @ Sabio Tapas Bar & Restaurant
An awesome deal at $49.90++ for an a la carte buffet of cold—try the creamy St Helens oysters or fresh cucumber-y gazpacho—and hot tapas (like their killer spicy pan-fried calamari or briny noodle paella with squid ink), this meal’s been christened the “Hangover Brunch”. There’s no better cure than hair of the dog and this […]

Craving for something a little more sinful? […]
