My Favourites List

Tiong Bahru Yi Sheng Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee — Masterfully fried texture with perfectly balanced flavours. This Michelin Bib Gourmand stall also has the best Hokkien Mee sambal chilli, hands down.

Global Mat Soul Kitchen — Exclusive homecooked briyani that's immensely flavourful, every grain perfect, every morsel flavourful and every drop of gravy intoxicating.

King of Fried Rice — The same standard as, or better than, Din Tai Fung for half the price? Smoky, eggy and flavourful, adorned with that crazy juicy pork chop, long live the king.

Park Bench Deli — Undisputed king of sandwiches in Singapore. Their selection of sandwiches is wide but all filled with quality. This peanut butter & jelly sandwich is perhaps the most decadent sandwich in existence.

Bari Uma — Tonkotsu ramen is dime a dozen in Singapore, but forget the trite ones like Keisuke and Ippudo. Bari Uma's amazingly creamy broth will cause a flavour explosion in your mouth.

25 Degrees — Perhaps not inch perfect, but 25 Degrees makes up for it in personality. The immensely juicy patty is married to Gorgonzola and Thousand Island Sauce for a very unique but mouthgasmic experience.

Micro Bakery — Artisan sourdough is a thriving niche sector of the local cafe scene, and Micro is on top of it. Their loaves are already great, but it's their flawless creations like this grilled cheese that make them stand out.

Antea Social — Teahouse that's quite unlike any other, from their gorgeous new age aesthetics to their impeccable selection. No tea lover should go without trying their amazing flavour infused oolong tea line.

Apartment Coffee — As a coffee snob, no cafe has won my heart like this beautiful minimalistic outfit. Their ever-changing selection of coffee always satisfies; one of my best cuppas ever was one from them with champagne grape notes.

Cloudstreet — Michelin-Starred Chef-Owner's Rishi Naleendra's exciting take on Australian flavours, with plenty of innovation and genre-bending. Not to mention they serve possibly the best bread course, a life-changing Stout and Licorice Bread, in Singapore.

Ryo Sushi — Everybody loves Japanese sushi. But if you're ready to move to the next level and try an omakase, there's no other place I'd recommend than Ryo. With a cheap price tag of $38 for lunch, their quality can compete with many pricier places.

RVLT — Their shtick is predominantly that of a natural wines bar, but they are more than that. Their food selection is crazy good. Unhinged fusion flavours, from uni butter pastas to tartares with dragonfruit. This Patty Melt is also perhaps still the best beef sandwich I've had to date.

Salted & Hung — You can expect fresh and good quality produce prepared meticulously here. They're evidently experts at handling meat, as they do a mean wagyu pastrami sandwich, but you can also find gems on their course menu like a great crayfish risotto and this unbelievably tender beef short ribs.

Izakaya Ninigashi — Izakayas are Japanese drinking dens that serve up great food while having wide-ranging selection of Sakes. Ninigashi is one of the best Izakayas, and they have free flow alcohol for just $35++!

The Elephant Room —One of the most meticulously executed concepts that's unapologetically Indian culture centred in every inch of the bar. You can expect exciting flavours like this complex kamasutra that's made from a medley of aphrodisiacs and spirits.

Junior the Pocket Bar — If you dislike monotony, oh boy do we have a bar for you. The crazy crew at Junior rotates their entire bar concept and decor every 3 months. In picture was a beer based cocktail during their alpine resort concept, the concept is great but the drinks are better.
