Passing by Domino’s Pizza sparked a certain bemusement in me, as I inched closer to Arab Street’s hottest new opening that lay a few doors down, Beyond the Dough. Continue reading “Beyond the Dough”
Keen eyes would have noticed the lights at 8 Ann Siang Hill, overlooking the area’s most boisterous cross-section, had surprisingly been unlit for months. Something felt like it was lurking in the wings after Love Handle vacated. Now it’s unveiled: Casa Vostra is taking over.
Make Bali Lane great again — at least, that looks to be what Puffy Bois Pizza, a brand-new hidden bar and pizza slice shop, is planning for the tepid mood in the hood. Continue reading “Puffy Bois Pizza”
Sometimes, little discernment or foresight is needed to identify the immense potential of a new opening. To those of us living in 2023, Frantzen Group’s latest local outfit, Brasserie Astoria at the Victoria Concert Hall, saunters effortlessly to a podium finish for one of this year’s most anticipated openings in Singapore.
