Saveur @ Purvis Street
Ever since her humble old days at her coffee shop outlet along East Coast Road, Saveur has been garnering a sizeable following with her quality French grub at wallet- friendly prices. Now that she has been re-located to a more central location with her very own cosy and spacious dining area, one cannot help but...
Wok & Barrel @ Duxton Hill
From a mere hawker store famous for her Nasi Lemak to an air- conditioned casual dining restaurant situated at Duxton Hill, Wok & Barrel is a relatively new Mod Sin (modern Singaporean) eatery motivated to bring together Singaporean flavours and bistro classics. As seen from the menu, creativity is very apparent in the execution of...
Menya Musashi @ Raffles City
It has been barely a few weeks since the opening of the renowned Tokyo Ramen eatery on our shores but she has managed to draw a consistently long queue throughout the day- at least that has been what I am hearing from many of my friends. With around eleven outlets in Japan, the 1,350 square...
Esquina Tapas Bar @ Jiak Chuan Road
One of the recent trends in the local dining scene has been the emergence of Spanish tapas bars which offer small plates of savoury dishes that are meant to be shared amongst diners. Finally back from an extended hiatus due to time spent abroad, I have been craving to try as many of the new...
The Square @ Novotel Singapore Clark Quay
Under the helm of Chef Jean-Philippe Couturier, The Square at Novotel is proud to introduce their very much modified buffet menu that is focused on the theme of “Flavours Around The World with a Local Twist”, offering her diners to indulge in a variety of delicacies from Asia and around the World. From my visit on...
Rakuzen @ Tampines NTUC Income Building

Baker & Cook @ Hillcrest Road
The brainchild of Global Baker Dean Brettschneider- New Zealand celebrity baker and cookbook author, Baker & Cook is one of the few much- anticipated names that have joined our local bakery scene. A bakery, food store and cafe concept that has been established in the residential enclave of Hillcrest, its unique location was hand-picked by...
De La Creme @ Siglap Drive
Nestled in the heart of Siglap and Frankel Estate, the location of De La Creme might appear to many as a bakery that mainly caters to the residents who reside around the corner. However, the feature of this humble- looking cafe in our local newspapers and magazines has brought many (especially those with a sweet...
The Sleeping Rhino @ klapsons, The Boutique Hotel
Introduced as a very popular lunch spot for the hungry cubicle rats around the Tanjong Pagar area, we were told that the Sleeping Rhino was named as such so that her abbreviations would be T.S.R, their effort to portray the restaurant’s image as a casual dining venue. T.S.R succeeds the now defunct Lucas (previously a...
Etna Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria @ Upper East Coast Road
Ever since my review of Bruno’s Pizzeria and Grill was published on the site, I have been told by several friends and foodies to try out Etna Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria, which is somewhat around the region of Marine Parade- Siglap area. Located a few stretches away, the Sunday lunch crowd in the restaurant had definitely...
Zaffron Kitchen @ East Coast Road
Since the Katong area is well- known for being one of the most popular food havens within the country; a stretch that is full of many reputed restaurants with quite a competitive history, it is definitely an achievement for the newly established Zaffron Kitchen to be able to garner a sizeable following within less than...
Hummerstons @ Robertson Walk
Other than offering their regular menu of Western dishes and wine/spirits, Hummerstons is another increasingly popular weekend- brunch outlet to compete with the likes of Epicurious along Robertson Quay. A new common hangout for both locals and foreign expatriates, Hummerstons could easily be one of the more crowded areas in the quiet corner of Robertson...
