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.

There’s also a neat range of chic, practical items for the home—think scents from Tokyomilk and reed diffusers from BsaB— if you’re not in […]
White Room
As the very first store to call Haji Lane home, multi-label boutique White Room deserves some credit.

An Lam Ninh Van Bay Villas
Managed by Epikurean, An Lam Ninh Van Bay Villas is exclusive, eco-friendly and traditionally Vietnamese. Located on the virtually untouched Ninh Van Bay, the rainforest, mountains and dramatic beaches around this resort make it truly distinctive. Each of the 35 private villas here comes with its own plunge pool, and all manner of modern embellishments. […]
Maya
Combining the heritage of a 19th century manor house and new contemporary designs, recently opened Maya, close to Tangalle on the Southern tip of the island, is a great place to soak up Sri Lanka’s culture and natural beauty. Set against a backdrop of coconut trees and paddy fields, Maya exudes colonial charm and offers […]
