This year sure started in a particularly festive mood. Blazing ahead, the Lunar New Year festivities are already about to end as we enter the traditional month of love. Beyond the auspicious Spring Festival cheers and romantic Valentine’s Day plans, here are the best places to visit this month for more gourmet discoveries.
Las Palmas
Perched on the rooftop of the Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena, the swanky Las Palmas bar will be launching a weekly Women-Out Wednesday from Feb 15 onwards. Specially for the ladies, the more you have in your group, the more you get to shave off your total beverage bill. With discounts of up to 40% off, it’s high time to gather your posse and head on over for picturesque evenings of good vibes and great drinks. To kick things off, Las Palmas is also throwing a Galentine’s in the Skies party on Feb 15 itself, featuring DJ Durio of ATTAGIRL! and an evening of crowd-favourite female anthems from the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Queen Bey, Ariana Grande, and more.
Niu Dian Beef Noodles
Taking Taiwan by storm, the popular Niu Dian Beef Noodles has received the Michelin Bib Gourmand for three consecutive years now – and they’ve finally arrived on our shores. Opening on Feb 13 at VIIO @ Balestier, indulge in authentic Taiwanese beef noodles featuring a consommé-like broth made from 24 hours of brewing quality beef bone parts, mirepoix, and a curated blend of herbs for that unforgettable taste. Distinguishing themselves by using only premium beef parts specially flown-in from Australia, go for signatures such as their Combination Specialty Beef Noodles, Premium Braised Combination Beef Noodles, and Spicy Pepper Combination Specialty Beef Noodles.
