Mexican food is always a jolly affair, filled with copious amounts of tortillas, tacos, margaritas. It’s hard not to feel all pumped up when you’re digging into all those hearty flavours, while juices drip all over and sauces smother your lips.
[Update: KKI Sweets has closed.] We love our desserts, from the most simple waffles & ice creams to intricately moulded croissants — you can find wildly popular dessert stores at every corner of the island. KKI Sweets are, however, on a level above every other cafe.
Countless people vouch for Pasta Bar as the epitome of pasta making in Singapore. With a name as confidently chic and simple as “Pasta Bar”, you’d expect great finesse worthy of its moniker of being the pasta bar.
[Update: Salted & Hung has closed. Chef-Owner Drew Nocente has since opened a new concept, Cenzo.] Salted & Hung is a place that’s nestled deep into the crevices of my heart.

Needless to say, I found myself excitedly grabbing a table when they launched their redesigned set course menu in May, right before the dreaded dine-out restrictions hit again.
Rowdy Japanese crowds downing too much alcohol, indistinct chatter, simple homely dishes — an enjoyable ambience no doubt but what if an Izakaya was even more fun? Look no further than MoboMoga, the epitome of off-beat and quirky.
Gather was one of the most hyped openings of 2020, a Crepe specialist cafe opened by an experienced Cafe group? That’s something that hasn’t been done before.
While whisky bars are generally seen as stuffy, gentrified establishments that cater to pretentious old men sporting waistcoats — Malts is an exception to the rule.
It wasn’t surprising when Burger & Lobster opened at Jewel Changi in 2019. You’d have heard of many Singaporeans flocking to their London outlet, much like Flat Iron — which inspired the popular Featherblade.
Unlisted Collection is a company commonly associated with its adventurous fusion concepts, that’s why Majestic Bay was an interesting prospect for me.
[Update: Catfish has since undergone a significant revamp with a new Izakaya concept.] Chef Andrew Walsh (chef-owner of Cure, Club Street Wine Room, et al) opened one of my most heavily anticipated restaurant openings in Singapore in 2020 — Catfish at Telok Ayer.
