Peach Garden @ Thomson Plaza
The wasabi prawns; shark bone cartilage soup; homemade beancurd with spinach; and fried mee sua with seafood are signature offerings at Peach Garden. The menu is perhaps smaller than in many Chinese restaurants, but one gets the feeling that this is deliberate so the restaurant can focus on doing few things and doing them very […]

Brotzeit German Bier & Restaurant
There’s no better place to hit if you want authentic German wurstel (sausages) and bier (beer).

The choice of beers is mind-boggling.
