La Noce
Salvatore Catalano (of the now defunct Papi) raised eyebrows when he opened La Noce in the culinary boondocks of Chu Lin Road in 2007. But that didn’t deter his fans from expanding their carbon footprint to visit his piccolo bambino. Well, distance is no longer an issue now that Catalano has opened another outlet in […]
Kaffir & Lime
Located in Paragon’s basement, Kaffir & Lime can be quite easily lost in the scores of other restaurants that populate the area. The reason why it’s not is simple: It sports ThaiExpress’ distinct orange colors, and a long queue to boot. Kaffir & Lime is the latest new concept by the huge ThaiExpress Group who […]
Victoria Peak Chinese Cuisine
We’re gonna start off by letting you know that this particular dish review is based on the fact that a) we were here during lunch time, hence b) we went for the value-for-money set meal, and c) we love Chinese food to begin with. Now that we’ve stated our disclaimer, we’d also like to add […]
The Muthu’s Flavors

Sushi Tei
We like this Sushi Tei branch for its floor-to-ceiling window that offers a view of busy Orchard Turn. Tear yourself away from the sushi conveyor belt and feast on a la carte items such as hotate miso mayonnaise (baked scallops with miso paste), tender teriyaki steak, and, for dessert, vanilla ice cream encased in a […]
Capricci
The signs were good at a recent lunch visit to Capricci. Foremost among these: The room had several tables of patrons who were conversing with restaurateurs Massimo Aquaro and Pietro Aprigliano in Italian. Always good when the right ethnic types flock to a new ethnic restaurant. Our greeting was professional and efficient and we were […]
