Sitting at the edge of Jalan Besar, near Bendemeer MRT, is a new cafe that would grab the attention of any passer-by with its bustling crowds and outlandish animated floating signs, flashing with reds and blues and dangling from the ceiling on chains. Brunch lovers would have heard of this one: it’s the stylish Moonchild. Continue reading “Moonchild”
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”
It’s an indelible fact that sourdough has generated an incredible amount of buzz in the cafe scene in recent years. Even with the deluge of scrumptious bakes, pastries, and pizzas, I don’t think any other establishment has been able to utilise wild yeast fermentation as holistically in Singapore as the newly opened Anna’s Sourdough.
There is a certain romanticism to handmaking pasta. The push and pull when you knead the dough. The tactile euphoria of tracing your fingers over supple rolled-out sheets. The limitless satisfaction of moulding them into intricate shapes.

The spectacular sight of the Marina Bay Sands has become a common fixture in our dining scene, adding some majesty to many restaurants’ mise-en-scene. But there’s a touch of elegance to the cul-de-sac at Collyer Quay that Caffe Fernet rests on, making it feel like a charming unwinding spot. Continue reading “Caffe Fernet”
After establishing itself as one of the best bars for craft beer-fuelled shindigs, the iconic Good Luck Beer House at Haji Lane was met with the unfortunate challenge of shedding the emblematic fixtures and beer-focused concept for a facelift last year.
Wine. Neon lights. Disco balls. Possibly sounds like a logically incoherent jumble of fixtures, that is until a visit to RVLT’s buzzing Carpenter Street hideout assuages any doubts.
Rooftop bars are an experience that is having its vogueish minute in the spotlight right now in Singapore. Maybe gimmicky, and even contrived, to some but when you sit in a lavish place like Spago atop Marina Bay Sands, you will relish every moment high up in the sky. Continue reading “Spago”
