Brasero and Florería Atlántico Singapore pop-up exudes the plushest Argentinian warmth

The taste of Argentina is something inherently nebulous to Singaporeans. Notwithstanding our flourishing restaurant ecosystem, usually dedicated to cuisines such as Japanese or Italian, the vibrant flavours of Argentina are harrowingly under-represented. For the curious, however, there’s no better time to explore this slice of Latin American culture than at the Brasero and Floreria Atlantico pop-up at Four Seasons Singapore.

Ssal

New Hidden Bar Ssal is Singapore’s most weirdly enchanting Modern Korean Food concept yet

No indications. No door signs. A rickety wooden door hides, inconspicuously camouflaged, flush against the rightmost corner beside Low Tide’s bar. One’s initial curiosity would peg it as a closet of sorts. Pry it open though, and you’ll be greeted by a dusky flight of stairs leading into the basement, into a hidden bar — Ssal.

10 Negroni in Singapore that you have to sip on

Posted on September 20, 2023 by Evan Mua

Where to get the best Negroni in Singapore to sip on, in celebration of Negroni Week

A stream of Campari speedily rushed groundwards, sizzling with a light splash as a partly-filled mixing tin caught its fall. That final pour was then swiftly followed by a clattering hail of ice cubes before the gentle prodding of a metal swizzle stick into the container.

Kuro Kare

Kuro Kare is the ultimate hidden gem for affordable curry rice in Singapore

Fine dining, Japanese curry rice and Singapore Management University — what do these things have in common? In theory, these are things from separate worlds that were unlikely to cross paths, until recently, with the opening of Kuro Kare. Continue reading “Kuro Kare” →

Indulge in Sumptuous Rooftop Bar Views at Smoke & Mirrors, renwed with The Real Art of Drinking: Vol. III

I remember being entranced by the luxurious sweeping vistas over the Singapore skyline when I first visited Smoke & Mirrors. Seeing the MBS, Esplanade, and Singapore Flyer illuminated during golden hour in all their majesty. Continue reading “Smoke & Mirrors” →

Convivial, culinarily sound, And cultured in Wine: Praelum is The perfect wine bar

Casual wine bars are a confounding enigma to the masses. Primed by a deep-rooted perception of wine culture, it’s hard for the layperson to fathom wine as an ordinary indulgence. Most struggle to perceive wine as an unsolemn niche within the greater gourmet sphere — at least until being introduced to the Duxton gem, Praelum Wine Bistro.

NOST: Find quirky fusion flavours and a cosy respite at Ann Siang Hill’s hidden apartment-like Gastrobar

The best way to describe NOST at Ann Siang Hill: It’s the perfect home-dining experience not found in a home. As conflicting as it sounds, the fledgling concept is a gastrobar that melds informality and refinement together remarkably.

Tipo Gnocchi: the Famous Casual Pasta brand drops the doughball, hard

Admittedly, I’ve never been a big fan of any Tipo concept. Most of them are criminally overrated but I can see how they still provided a decent experience. This meant that the rebranded Tipo Gnocchi caught my attention — a pasta bar experience revolving around handmade gnocchi? Rare. Continue reading “Tipo Gnocchi” →

Jaguarita’s brings solid Mexican Food, craft beer & Agave spirits to Buona Vista

Buona Vista has always been a bit of a neglected area when it comes to food — very few establishments in the vicinity are brought up when it comes to the debate for the best restaurants or best cafes in Singapore, at least not until you travel a bit further up to the Ghim Moh area.
