Two restaurants on Craig Road are handing their kitchens to visiting chefs on the same Wednesday night. Firangi Superstar has brought in a Michelin-starred chef from Bangkok to celebrate turning five. Fortuna has two pizzaioli, Italian for pizza makers, flying in from Sydney. Both dinners land on 16 September 2026, and nobody has figured out how to sit at two tables at once.
The four-hands dinner (two kitchens sharing one menu for a night or two) suits anyone who’d rather spend money on an evening than on stuff. It costs more than a normal meal and less than a tasting menu. Seats are scarce enough that getting one feels like a win. September has a pile-up of these nights in Tanjong Pagar. A few streets away, Fat Prince turns 10 this month as well, so three neighbouring dining rooms are celebrating at once.
Five Years, Fantabulously Firangi
Firangi Superstar’s anniversary takeover, Five Years, Fantabulously Firangi, runs on 16 and 17 September 2026 with dinner from 5.30pm. It costs S$128++ per person for a four-course sharing menu. Head Chef Raj Kumar’s kitchen normally reworks classic Indian dishes for four rooms dressed like film sets: the Officer’s Club, Old Railway Room, Elephant Palace, and Jungle Lodge. For these two nights, it shares the pass with Chef Thav Phouthavong of 80/20, which holds one star in the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026.
If 80/20 is new to you, the name is the whole philosophy: 80% Thai ingredients, 20% the kitchen’s own invention. The Bangkok restaurant opened in 2015 and leans on fermentation and farm-forward produce. Put that quiet, ingredient-first discipline next to Firangi’s loud, cinematic take on India and you get a proper culinary argument, the good kind.
The menu reads like two kitchens egging each other on. Snacks open with 80/20’s seasonal pickle, Firangi’s cashew-sesame and smoky tomato chutneys, and a caviar bump on coconut pancake with Japanese pumpkin pâté. Then comes a run of dishes that shouldn’t work on paper. An aloo gobi, the North Indian potato and cauliflower staple, is rebuilt with romanesco, southern yellow curry, and betel leaf cashew. A khao soi comes with young jackfruit, northern herbs, and a mini bhatura (puffy fried bread). A kingfish ceviche pairs Nagaland chilli nam jim, a Thai dipping sauce, with sol kadhi, the kokum and coconut drink from India’s west coast.
Mains come down to two very Firangi names. Away From Awadh is Australian wagyu striploin with a Burmese-inspired northern curry and achar, a spiced pickle. How South Is South?? is Chilean seabass in Malabar gravy with betel leaf. Coconut jasmine rice, black garlic naan, tawa-fried Brussels sprouts, and nam prik, a Thai chilli relish, come to the table whichever you pick. Dessert is ras malai, the milk-soaked Indian cheese dumplings, with sankaya (Thai coconut custard) and coconut sorbet.
A Cocktail for Every Year
The bar list is the sweetest idea of the lot. Firangi has picked one crowd favourite from each year it’s been open: the Cashew Mai Tai (2021), Saffron Vodka Sour (2022), Curry Leaf Negroni (2023), Ginger Turmeric Spritz (2024), and Guava Jalwa (2025/2026). Zero-proof drinkers get a Royal Melon Lassi and a Masala Colada. 80/20 brings two specials. Old Siam Road mixes Monkey Shoulder whisky, tamarind, and a galangal tincture. Twenty Percent Firangi combines Bacardi Carta Blanca with lemon citrate and lemongrass foam. The S$128++ price covers the four-course sharing menu only, so leave room for at least one trip down memory lane.
Sydney Sends Two Pizzaioli Over
Fortuna comes from the group behind Fortuna Terrazza and Medusa Osteria Romana, and it sits at #33 on 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific 2026. On 16 September, it hands its wood-fired ovens over for the night. Founder Egon Marzaioli and new Executive Pizza Chef Silvio Groppelli are joined by two guests from Sydney. Sicilian-born Matteo Ernandes co-owns Regina La Pizzeria and runs its ovens as head pizzaiolo. Salerno-raised Francesco Manolio co-owns Lil Franky Pizzeria. Together they’re cooking a six-course dinner called The Kingdom of the 2 Sicilies.
Every name on that lineup has won something. Marzaioli is Michelin-trained, with time at Le Calandre, and has won Best Fried Food in Singapore. Groppelli has three straight years of recognition from Italian food guide Gambero Rosso as Australia’s number one pizza chef. Ernandes holds Tre Spicchi, Gambero Rosso’s top pizzeria rating. Manolio placed third in the world at the Pizza Olympics in Naples. That contest is run by AVPN (the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana), the body that protects traditional Neapolitan pizza.
The dinner is staged as a rivalry that becomes a truce, told across seven acts. Each course is tied to a piece of Naples or Sicily’s history, from the House of Bourbon to Trinacria, Sicily’s ancient three-legged symbol. It opens with a double-fried Montanara, topped either with Cilento-coast cherry tomato and pecorino or with Sicilian truffle paste, ricotta mousse, and eggplant. Four pizzas by the slice follow. Il Borbone piles stracciatella, Trapanese pesto, anchovies, and roasted hazelnuts on a twice-cooked base, while Sua Maestà spreads roasted eggplant purée under raw veal tartare.
Il Sole di Parthenope is named for the siren said to have founded Naples, and it sets buffalo mozzarella on a yellow tomato base. La Trinacria brings cured tuna and goat cheese mousse on zucchini purée. Then the two kingdoms make peace over Oro Nero (“black gold”), a cocoa padellino (a small pan pizza) with mascarpone mousse, coffee gel, and chocolate soil. Groppelli says his goal is a pizza that’s “structurally light and exceptionally digestible”. Six courses of dough is a lot, so that promise matters more than any topping.
Fat Prince Turns 10
A few streets away at 48 Peck Seah Street, Fat Prince turns 10 this September, and its website promises “a very big anniversary bash” to mark it. The modern Middle Eastern restaurant is part of The Dandy Collection, the group behind Neon Pigeon, and Head Chef Simon Bell runs the kitchen.
The birthday month started with a guest of its own. On Tuesday, 8 September, Fat Prince handed its pass to Lebanon for the night, the same idea of lending the kitchen out that drives the other two dinners. The restaurant is in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore selection, a list that keeps adding new names to the city’s dining map.
For anyone who wants in without committing to a set menu, the refreshed à la carte list is the easy way in. There’s a feta cheese dip for S$16, roasted baby chicken for S$48, and kebabs from S$32. Dinner runs from 5.30pm to midnight every day, and there are no fixed seatings to race for.
Doing the Maths on ++
Fortuna’s menu is S$79++ per person, with seatings at 6pm and 8pm and two hours at the table. An optional 1.45-hour free-flow of Prosecco, wine, and beer adds S$45++. The two plus signs stand for a 10% service charge, with 9% GST (Goods and Services Tax) charged on top of that.
Do the sums and Fortuna comes to about S$95 a head, or about S$149 with the free-flow. Firangi’s anniversary menu comes to about S$153 before any cocktails. For context, four-hands menus around town this month cost between the high S$60s and about S$100++ without drinks, and S$120 to S$130++ with pairings. SanSara’s North Indian four-hands, for instance, is S$68++ for four courses or S$128++ for six with pairings.
That puts Firangi at the top of the range and above its own S$88++ A Night at the Firangi Table set, which makes sense for a birthday with a Michelin-starred guest. Fortuna sits at the lower end, and that’s the surprise. An earlier seven-course pizza collaboration there was listed at S$129++. Six courses from four award-winning chefs for S$79++ is much better value.
So, Which One?
Book Fortuna if you want to watch four people who are very good at the same craft try to outdo each other, and if an S$95 evening still counts as a night out rather than a financial decision. Book Firangi for novelty. A ferment-driven Thai kitchen and a maximalist Indian one sharing a pass doesn’t come around often, and two nights instead of one means better odds of a table.
Michelin awards stars for the cooking, so Thav’s star carries real weight on Craig Road, even in someone else’s dining room. If both tables fill before the group chat agrees, Fat Prince’s birthday month is a few streets away.
What ties all three together is the guest list. Firangi borrowed a Bangkok kitchen, Fortuna borrowed two Sydney pizzerias, and Fat Prince spent a Tuesday borrowing Lebanon. That’s the appeal in a sentence: a Wednesday in Tanjong Pagar that tastes like a trip abroad, minus the airfare.
