Gattopardo Ristorante di Mare
Gattopardo has moved from its old home at Hotel Fort Canning and is now in hot ‘hood Tanjong Pagar. It’s gone through a major revamp too; new creations make up more than half the menu (expect loads more seafood) and there’s a lot less focus on sharing plates and more on individual portions. On the […]

Chinois
Of course our hopes were high when we chose to dine at famed Canadian chef Susur Lee’s new fusion (contemporary Chinese with a western twist) restaurant at Resorts World Sentosa, in partnership with the Tung Lok Group. After all, Lee’s Susur restaurant back in Toronto has been named one of the top 50 best restaurants […]
