Elite Bicycles Asia
For a bike tailored perfectly to you, head down to this sports store that sells bicycles from international brands like Wilier. It also provides after‑sale bike fits and mechanical services.
The Suit Factory
This store sells well‑made off‑the‑rack suits from Dan Stevenson and Benjamin Parker. Shoes and other stylish accessories for men are sold here too.
Strangelets
Sick of mass-produced items that everyone seems to have? This design boutique will provide that breath of fresh air. Established in 2008, Strangelets is still one of the best spots in town for wild and wow furnishings and curious accessories sourced from all over the world, like porcelain wares from Studio Gu and a side […]
HQ Karaoke & Bar
The newly‑minted open concept karaoke and bar encourages social karaoke—a good thing too that the crowd at HQ Karaoke & Bar consists mainly of models and celebrities. Sing your heart out while getting liquored up on Soju Oolong Tea, Mojitos and Apple Shooters.
Miz Japanese Restaurant
To deem the food at Miz Japanese Restaurant “value‑for‑money” would be a gross understatement. The simplest of dishes—cold garlic butter udon with caviar ($12) and even the Japanese rice tea—ace the taste test. Their salmon tataki, or seared salmon, is heavenly.
Serendipity Patisserie
This stall might occupy a minimal area but it serves goodies galore. The good variety of generously‑sized muffins they offer is nothing short of tantalizing.
Eight Cafe and Bar
Disco balls and fancy lights are among our favorite in this joint. Featuring an alfresco section open after dusk only, the retro‑themed café serves highly affordable fusion and Western dishes.
Pavillion Restaurant
Featuring crisp‑fried scallop mousse in lemongrass spears, and a combination of Peking duck, foie gras and crispy mushroom as appetizers, its six‑course menus ($58++ or $98++ per head) serve Cantonese delicacies with a touch of the West.
Yummy Viet
Newly opened after a revamp of their decor, Yummy Viet continues to serve authentic Vietnamese dishes. The spicy beef pho has just the right amount of spiciness with a rather generous amount of beef slices in its aromatic beef stock. For light snacks, order the summer rolls or spring rolls.
L’Oliver
With an historic Chinese temple situated just opposite and a landscaped garden as part of its surroundings, L’Olivier provides an ideal ambiance. It’s fine French cuisine at reasonable prices. We think their braised short‑ribs in red wine and veal jus is a winner.
