Pave Chocolates & Confections
A dessert parlor set up by four friends of greedy disposition (their words, not ours), this quaint patisserie whips up some wicked desserts. We love the Oooze, a sinfully dark chocolate bar studded with cocoa nibs, which hides a seductive sea-salted caramel filling. We know Parisians living in Singapore who’ll gladly venture across town for […]
Stall 11 (Sembawang Hill Food Court)
This hawker stall serves up Chinese rojak with large chunks of fruit and veg, crunchy you tiao and fragrant tau pok tossed in a zesty rojak sauce that’s most delicious. That and portions are liberal to boot. Have you tried the Chinese rojak? It’s one of I-S Magazine’s 50 things to eat in Singapore before […]
83
From the folks behind L’Entrecôte and Sabio Tapas Bar & Restaurant on Duxton Hill comes this bar-restaurant that’s a mishmash of urban street art, art deco, Georgian, Victorian and modern furnishings—an oddly tasteful backdrop to enjoy Swiss beers, an extensive cocktail list and Champagnes like Delamotte ($15 per glass, $74 by the bottle). For bites, […]
Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice
Fluffy, fragrant rice with moist and juicy chicken flesh. The soup is also slurpalicious, with a slight herbal taste. Have you tried the Hainanese chicken rice? It’s one of I-S Magazine’s 50 things to eat in Singapore before you die (2011).
Fandango Tapas and Wine Bar
This new addition to CHIJMES has kindred spirits in the laidback garden and courtyard cafés of Spain. The focus at Fandango is tapas with a difference. You’ve got excellent (and plus-sized) renditions of traditionals like pan-fried scallops wrapped in Serrano ham ($18) and feta cheese and sundried tomatoes marinated with rosemary ($15), as well as […]
Nur Indah Kitchen
Go for the nasi ayam penyet. It’s one of I-S Magazine’s 50 things to eat in Singapore before you die (2011).
Verre Wine Bar
Located in a recently refurbished warehouse on the quieter side of Robertson Quay, this is an oenophile’s dream. Verre has over 750 labels represented in its walk-in cellar with Bordeaux and Burgundy wines as the stars—bottles which come from small, family-owned vineyards which produce wines that are as distinctive as they are sought after. Perhaps […]
Lot, Stock & Barrel
Despite being located on a little street beside Raffles Hotel, this grubby pub is definitely not for the hoity-toity—a charm in itself. The jukebox adds to the place’s homely and unassuming ambiance, while the warmly-lit pool area, dart boards, squash chairs and TV turned to the sports channel make Lot, Stock & Barrel a really […]
Al Kader Restaurant
Go for the sup tulang. It’s one of I-S Magazine’s 50 things to eat in Singapore before you die (2011).
Le Yi Shi Fried Carrot Cake
One dish you have to eat is the black carrot cake. It’s one of I-S Magazine’s 50 things to eat in Singapore before you die (2011).
