SPACE@ My Humble House
Local comfort food goes upscale at this less expensive alternative to My Humble House. Signature dishes include Mama Leong’s chicken rice, rack of lamb “bak kut teh,” seafood laksa, wok-fried Wagyu beef hor fun and fried radish cake. Great for a pre-theater meal.
The Marmalade Pantry + Cork Cellar
Previously known as Cork Cellar Kitchen, the new name now reiterates the Marmalade Group branding. There is an extensive grazing menu here with short orders (read: Small dishes, tapas style), and long orders for dinner. The short order—crab linguine is fab, and, we dare say, outshines the bigger dishes. Desserts are yummy too.
The Tiffin Room
With its antiquated surroundings and ceiling fans whirring slowly overhead, The Tiffin Room is redolent of the colonial era, and almost seems like a place untouched by the passage of time. The food here is good too—mulligatawny soup, butter chicken, Hyderabad fish and spinach with cottage cheese—by Chef Kuldeep Negi are ever delectable.
Goldleaf New Taiwan Porridge Restaurant
The no-frills interior of this restaurant doesn’t provide a hint of just how good the food is going to be. The food is absolutely delicious, and the way to do it is to order a bunch of items and have them with sweet potato porridge. Top sellers at this hole-in-the-wall gem are the omelets; chicken […]
Tatsuya Japanese Restaurant
For premium sashimi, few do it better than Tatsuya. Just be prepared to pay though. The menu changes every two weeks, as much is dependent on the seasonal offerings. Try to book yourself a counter seat so you can be part of the action transpiring here. A must-try is the toro tataki (lightly seared tuna […]
Kopi Tiam
For the record, Kopi Tiam bears no relation to the chain of food courts also called Kopitiam. Instead, this is a sturdy institution where you can get authentic and tasty hawker food in a hotel setting. Try the fish head curry, Kopi Tiam laksa and Hainanese chicken rice. Book a table at Kopi Tiam with […]
Re!Fill
This restaurant located in the welcoming confines of Hotel Re! Singapore boasts affordable and tasty food. Re!Fill’s menu has both International and local specialties available.
Al Hamra
Al Hamra is the kind of authentic ethnic restaurant that makes you forget you’re in Singapore. Come here to enjoy Lebanese food in an elegant Middle Eastern setting (think mosaic tiles, embroidered cushions, whitewashed walls and middle Eastern music in the background). The menu changes seasonally but the riyash ghanam (lamb chops with barbeque sauce) […]
Da Paolo La Terrazza
The Da Paolo restaurant name is synonymous with quality Italian food, and this outlet remains one of its best. The homemade pasta with duck liver, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes; and squid ink spagetti are authentic and memorable. For delicious, (but pricey) takeaways, try Da Paolo Gastronomia. Mamma mia! Is your favorite Italian restaurant on our […]
Fosters Restaurant
Opened in 1960, this unique English-themed restaurant has been around forever. The steaks here enjoy a good rep, and their Fillet Fantastic is proof of that—classic prime middle cut served on fried onions and topped with juicy mushrooms. Their oxtail stew, carpetbag steak, and steak and mushroom pie are also worth trying.
