Onaka (Biopolis)

When the chance came to review new café Onaka (short for Optimum Nutrition and Kitchen Arts)—which specializes in home-cooked and mainly vegetarian dishes—we were more than ecstatic. However, our dining experience here was less than stellar. First of all, its location at The Biopolis is not the most accessible or hippest. Upon our arrival, we […]

NUOC

Located on the twelfth floor of Orchard Central’s roof garden, what struck us first upon entering was the view. The serene setting and relaxed ambience certainly made us feel at ease, perfect for a Sunday lunch. We christened the meal with fresh Vietnamese spring rolls: It was a great appetizer although at $18, the price […]

Seafood Kitchen

We’ve been used to Jumbo or Long Beach for the longest time, especially since having been dragged there as tots by our folks. So, having to go to East Coast to dine at this new kid on the block was a mildly traumatic prospect, to say the least. But hey it’s for the readers, right? […]
