In the most unlikely of places, on the second storey of International Plaza, you chance across one of the most authentic Japanese Ramen-Ya. This small nine-seater is Enishi, one of Singapore’s best-kept ramen secrets — compact but supremely cosy. Continue reading “Enishi Ramen”
Tipo Pasta Bar is perhaps one of the biggest sensations on Instagram, especially amongst the younger crowd. Countless plaudits have been given about how this casual pasta joint has some of the best affordable pasta you can get in Singapore. Continue reading “Tipo Pasta Bar”
“Mise-en-scène” is a term that describes the setting of a scene in a play, film, or art piece. It encompasses every fine detail from the mood and the lighting to space usage. To me, complimenting a restaurant for crafting out perfect mise-en-scène is extremely high praise. And for Claudine Restaurant, its immaculate setting at Dempsey Hill could not be more perfect.
My hunt for good fish & chips in Singapore can be considered cursed. Other than Cheek Bistro, which had sadly transformed into Fool Wine Bar, most disappointed. Unexpectedly, it was Lad & Co, the new Tanglin outlet of hawker-turned-bistro Lad & Dad that provided me with the Fish & Chips lovin’ that I so craved. Continue reading “Lad & Co”

A quaint lookout over the Singapore Marina, boisterous Mexican bar bustle, and environmentally-friendly grub — that’s what’s going down over at Super Loco this month for Earth Month from 4 April 2022 to 30 April 2022.
Quiz any discerning gourmand in Singapore on their top restauranteur groups, and the conversation always steers towards one particular name — Unlisted Collection. Hardly surprising, considering their stable of Michelin-starred restaurants and mould-breaking concepts. Given the reliability of the UC name, I was undoubtedly excited for the exciting flavours set to be on display at Meatsmith Little India. Continue reading “Meatsmith Little India”
Chicken rice is one of the most familiar hawker dishes that all Singaporeans grow up with and is an absolutely ubiquitous national treasure. So it’s quite impressive that, in an ocean of chicken rice stalls, Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice managed to be one of the few honoured by the Michelin inspectors.
