Belief
Belief is the place to go to if you’re looking to stay ahead of the runway. Specializing in mainly Japanese brands, the store was set up to cater to a niche crowd of trendsetters who are “not simply buying into trends and what they read in magazines,” says owner Roy Lim.
Junkie’s Corner
Possibly even more obscure is Junkie’s Corner, located in the East near Kembangan MRT. Owner Charlie has filled this 4,500-sq-foot (you heard us right) converted neighborhood terrace house with a veritable selection of used antique furniture, artworks, toys and signboards. Never mind that the place is a little dusty and haphazard (even a tad difficult […]
The Heritage Shop
Partly due to the fact that it’s located on the more obscure Jalan Sultan, a 10-minute walk from popular stretch Haji Lane, this typically quiet 900-sq-foot store is replete with rare old lamps, typewriters, vinyls, signboards, radios, books, photographs, postcards and tin cans—mostly from the 30s through the 70s.

After a recent visit to this colorful joint (opened by the owners of the popular Blu Jaz), our faith in the local dining scene was somewhat restored. The laidback space is a kaleidoscope of different colors, […]
Joo Hing Restaurant
It really seems like Katong and Joo Chiat are where all things cool in the east are happening, with new food spots such as Fatboy’s the Burger Bar, Mookata, Malacca Celup and Pavé—not to mention five-star Tonny Restaurant—sprouting up over the last year. Just down the road from Tonny’s place, Joo Hing isn’t one of […]
Lunch @ Bedrock Bar & Grill
The deal: If you’re trying the three-course set lunch ($38-$58) at this steakhouse, it’s obvious what your main course should be. Go for either the wagyu minute steak or the flat iron steak. If you’re not in the mood for meat, you can choose from three other options, including baked barramundi fillet and wood-fired chicken. […]
