The Penny Black
Remember to try the English ale Old Speckled Hen if you visit this pub. This cozy wood-furniture-filled place is a hotbed for yuppies and expats working nearby, and especially packed and riotous when major sports events are shown on the screens. The Penny Black is in I-S Best Bars Guide 2014. Download your copy to […]
Cha Cha Cha
This stalwart Mexican restaurant distinguishes itself with famous icy pitchers of margarita, as well as healthy spinoffs such as the potato and spinach enchiladas, shrimp tacos, and wild mushroom burrito. Cha Cha Cha’s decor is a soothing blue and white, perfectly complementing the homemade salsa, and beef, chicken and prawn fajitas. Taco fan? Us too! […]
Shayray Punjab
Fuschia hues and gorgeous marble inlay tabletops feature prominently at Shayray Punjab. The must-tries in this lovely Punjabi restaurant are definitely the tave di fish—tender pieces of red snapper with dashes of saffron and green chilli; and the aatish-e murhg—chicken legs marinated in Punjabi spices and cooked in a tandoor, all delicious eaten with naan.
Tambuah Mas
Home-styled cooking from Padang, Sulawesi and Java. The spices here are blended together delicately, and only the best of ingredients are used to create the most authentic of dishes. Don‘t miss the tahu telor (egg beancurd), rendang lembu (beef curry) and many more enticing dishes.
Long Beach Seafood Restaurant
Absolute must-tries are the scrumptious butter lobster, the lip-smackingly good King Alaska crab in hua tiao wine or classic white pepper sauce, and the mouth-watering “dong bo” ribs with honey sauce. Can’t get enough Chinese food? Here are our favorite Chinese restaurants in Singapore.
Min Jiang at One North
Nestled right at the end of the stretch of converted black and white bungalows is Min Jiang. The setting is not that of a typical Chinese restaurant—there’s a deck overlooking candles and greenery that adds a romantic feel of retreat. The house special is definitely the Beijing duck which should be ordered at least 24 […]
Timbre @ The Arts House | Review
Quality live music is the order of the day at Timbre as the best in the local music scene turn up their amps to deliver a musical repertoire of rock and pop. Bands such as 53A and The Goodfellas are some of the mainstays here where you can sit on comfy sofas on the timber […]
Harry’s @ Dempsey Hill
The Harry’s franchise has set up shop on fashionable Dempsey Hill. Cozy, intimate and definitely not as raucous as its Boat Quay sibling, this Dempsey Hill watering hole is great for winding down with pals after work or a lazy Sunday over the same kind of quality beers and drinks you’d expect of any Harry’s […]
Thai Disco 1
The name says it all. One of the original Thai discos here, this is still the place to be for a raunchy good time. Sexy female dancers (more often than not in their feather boas and skimpy outfits) take the stage while Thai live bands rock it out. These guys cover anything and everything, be […]
Harry’s @ Orchard
Conveniently located in town, the bustling Harry’s @ Orchard is good for a beer or two, while popular band Tania, helmed by the ever flamboyant singer Alban performs some pulsating live music from the likes of Santana and Dire Straits.
