Interview: Gomez and Morticia Addams from The Addams Family
Beloved TV show (and then popular ‘90s movie franchise) The Addams Family returns to the spotlight, this time as a musical. We find out what Morticia and hubby Gomez have been up to lately.
La Barra
We figured the folks behind La Barra must be doing well: They’ve just opened another project, lunch-only buffet restaurant The Latin Quarter at the Science Hub. Plus, Latin food’s big now, and their menu sounded real appealing. Too bad the grub here is such a letdown. The arepas (corn flour flatbread)—a national speciality—were dry and […]
Chopsuey Cafe
American Chinese grub is unapologetically low brow, modern shorthand for a quick fix of sodium and batter. It’s something you get to-go and eat lounging in front of the TV.

Holiday Inn Express Singapore Orchard Road
This centrally located hotel has two eateries: Window on the Park and Tandoor as well as its own watering hole Hari’s Bar.

It’s based on the true story and unpublished play The Referendum by Antonio Skarmeta. Shot purely with analog video cameras from the ‘80s, […]
Madame Patisserie
The buzz: Ex Ritz-Carlton pastry chef Sherie Quek has just launched this cute cafe at Boat Quay offering a stunning view of the river. The dessert specialist makes everything from scratch on-premises daily. The vibe: Very femme, with lots of pink and adorable plant fixtures on each table. There’s also a charming alfresco area out […]
The Roti Prata House
This is a top place for rich, crispy and buttery prata, best eaten dipped in curry, or with sprinkles of sugar for those with a sweet-tooth. Aside from prata, they serve murtabak and biryani. They open for 24hrs from Friday to Saturday
Rasapura Masters
Ikeda Spa Prestige
The buzz: The multi award-winning Ikeda Spa takes the traditional Japanese spa experience to new heights with its second outlet in Clarke Quay. The vibe: What with the occasional drop in air quality and unending work-related stress in this city, it’s so nice to be able to pop into a spa that makes you feel […]
