Miki Yo!
Miki Yo! is definitely one froyo joint to watch out for. While they may not have as much variety as Swirl Art (original and their specialty flavors such as green tea), they do what they do well. We simply love their tagline and gamely took their advice to “go with the fro, yo!” Swirls start […]
Sogurt
What’s not to love about a self serve frozen yogurt joint? Mix and match flavors (raspberry pomegranate, blueberry acai and green tea) and toppings (fruity pebbles, waffle crisps and organic granola) for a yummy yet healthy treat. Be sure to give their red velvet cake flavor a go. If you’re in the area, why not […]
Udders
The ambiance isn’t anything to shout about, but the friendly service and fab selection of ice creams and sorbets should win you over. 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 […]
Silk
The buzz: John Lee, who brought us Club Momo, Venom and China Black, is back in business with new luxe club Silk bringing a dash of nightlife decadence to Orchard Road.The décor: Leather booth seating, plush interiors, a generous bar and huge-ass sofas.The music: Resident jocks DJ Anisma and DJ ADK spin a medley of […]
Sapporo Ramen Sanomaru
In Sapporo, they built a theme park: The Ramen Republic, a one-stop shop styled after an early post-war town, housing half a dozen of the city’s finest purveyors of squiggly yellow noodles. In Singapore, upstairs at TripleOne Somerset, they’ve built … a ski hut. Dark wood surfaces, an alpine doorway and pictures of piste-up snowmen. […]
Raindrops Café
Tucked away in an obscure corner just off the newly opened *SCAPE complex, Raindrops Café feels like one of those charming little cafés we’re so fond of abroad. This intimate space seats just 20 patrons, with another four tables in the al fresco area. In fact, it’s so cozy that we had to wait a […]
The Herbal Bar
Angel’s Bistro
Angel’s Bistro is a hit with the health junkies. Fusion vegetarian food prepared in a healthy and delicious way is their forte. Their signature brown rice set sells out by lunch time—and it’s easy to see why.
