Salted & Hung is a place that’s nestled deep into the crevices of my heart. Well, most Unlisted Collection concepts are infatuations. 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.
With an ever-growing wave of Artisan Pizza parlours popping up all over Singapore, we’re spoilt for choice. Out of all of them, Le Vin Levain is one that has challenged my perception of price tag vis-a-viz Pizza quality.
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.
Andrew Walsh (chef-owner of Cure, Bao Boy, et al) opened one of my most heavily anticipated restaurants of 2020 — Catfish at Telok Ayer.
While I’m a fan of cool pizzas, I’m ashamed to say I hadn’t heard of pizza frittas until Bar Milano.
I first knew of Bar Milano from my favourite food critic’s review, where she extolled on its demonstration of “the art of sprezzatura” — a sartorial concept of studied carelessness.
You have to set yourself apart as a affordable sushi place, in this crowded local market. New opening Takeshi-San does just that with its presentation (or “gimmick” as some would say).
This relatively new establishment was conceived to meet the unfortunate covid restrictions. as an offshoot of KTV lounge Illuzion at Neil Road. The name is a quirky double entendre — it’s a stick-focused bar, born from a sticky situation.
