Interview with Victor Cui, founder of ONE Fighting Championship
The man behind this weekend’s ONE Fighting Championship shows us his soft side.
The Tastings Room
The buzz: We know, we know, the concept of food and wine pairings isn’t exactly new or novel. However, The Tastings Room is one of the very few spots in town to boast a list of over 50 wines available by the glass. No doubt the result of director Timothy Tjendra’s love for the stuff. […]
Top 10 Things to Do in September
Some serious partying is in order this month.
SPORT B. Concept Store
The buzz: After their successful Voyage, agnès b.’s more vibrant SPORT B. collection gets a proper home right in the heart of Orchard Road. The vibe: Vintage Moroccan tiles are used in the flooring, complete with a raw range of furniture and shelves which create an edgy aesthetic not entirely in line with the clean […]
Mabul (The Flood)
Thirteen-year-old Yoni (Yoav Rotman) is about to have his Bar Mitzvah. Puberty has forgotten about him and he remains scrawny with an unbroken voice while his schoolmates tower over him. He does homework for them for a fee which he uses to buy a body-building mass gainer. Yoni’s parents do little for him; his father […]
Four Lions

Four Lions makes us laugh at terrorists and the concept of jihad, even as they remain an ever-present […]

Moo Bar & Grill
Two restaurant reviews in one week named after animal noises (see our review of Bar Bar Black Sheep at Robertson Quay)? In this case, sheep beats cow. At first glance, Moo’s a nice enough space; the set-up of white furniture and glass doors (that allow for people-watching), while minimal, is pleasant enough. We dug right […]
B@Rochester
The buzz: B@Rochester is a new contemporary Japanese restaurant and bar that opened just under a month ago at Rochester Park. The vibe: It’s got quite a classic layout, with a sashimi counter set within the main 40-seater dining room, and modern, understated décor. There’s also the alfresco bar area for a quiet spot to down […]
Bar Bar Black Sheep Review
Somehow, despite being a bottle’s-throw from Zouk in one direction and three minutes from the rest of Robertson in the other, this stretch of the river always feels like a well-kept secret. But it’s after work that the pubs and bars here come into their own. In July, Bar Bar added a third branch at […]
