Japanese cuisine has long been affixed with archetypes of raw fish, ramen joints and izakayas. There’s no shortage of high-end omakase and casual Japanese-Fusion concepts in Singapore, after all — but none are as charmingly audacious and congruent in interpretation as JU95. Continue reading “JU95”
Here’s a chance for you to see alcohol pairings in a whole different light — Perfect Pairing by Martell is the glitzy new collaboration between Martell and Singapore’s hottest restaurants, which aims to break that mould of chasing sophisticated dishes with wines whose names most of us are likely to mispronounce.

And thus… Out it came, the last pizza from the oven at Southside Interim Market and 4 AM Pizza ended its first chapter on a high. I stood witness to their last hurrah at the far-flung venue in the southside of Sentosa before its impending transformation, one that will regrettably not involve pizzas or any food.
Watching a fledgling concept blossom into a successful restaurant is always a heartwarming experience for me.

I think I speak for many that, when it comes to Japanese Sandos, the price point is not the friendliest — in Singapore at least. That’s why every once in a while, an affordable Sando establishment comes along and drums up feverous media hype, with the latest being Gyu San at Tanjong Pagar. Continue reading “Gyu San”
Having been a regular at Yeast Side’s quaint hideout at King Albert Park, it was exciting to step into the spanking new Farrer Park outlet for the first time. This new space is as lively, unpretentious, and inviting — a trademark of the cafe, which also doubles as a craft beer bar.
The general perception of French cuisine is one of opulence and class, and one of Haute Cuisine.
