Jonker’s Nyonya Deli
We know our assam laksa—slippery rice noodles in thick fish gravy—or at least we know what really amazing, runny nose-inducing assam laksa should taste like. You could say that we came to Jonker’s with high expectations. It’s had a couple of mentions in the media so it should be great, right? No, not really. While […]
Casa Latina
The latest roommate of ACTION Theatre’s two story pre-war bungalow is Casa Latina. Occupying the entire first floor, the restaurant has a charming alfresco bar area which brings back fond memories of the days of Indochine’s occupation. Once inside, the requisite bright hues and dark wood give an immediate feeling of ease and comfort, in […]

Udders

Locally inspired flavors like Mao Shan Wang durian and Gila Melaka, a fragrant gula melaka (palm sugar) ice cream with nuggets of chewy attap chee (palm seeds) get our vote, while alcohol […]
Tom’s Palette
This quaint (read: tiny) ice cream shop has done so well for themselves, they’ve expanded their premises. Flavors in their portfolio include tangy basil, tofu & dates, pumpkin & winter melon, rosemary-apple, caramelized onion and even seaweed. Less adventurous types can stick with equally gratifying flavors like Granny’s Favorite or Melt & Sizzle, studded with […]
Frigidarium
You’ve gotta love a gelato store that dares to experiment with flavors, at the risk of facing the wrath of an angry Italian. There’s sakura (cherry blossom), ginger and rose; and a noteworthy lavender gelato, with great texture and subtle flavor (unlike others we’ve tried that make us feel like we’re eating potpourri). The lemongrass […]
