Best-known for serving some of the best coffee and all-day brunches in town, Strangers’ Reunion is set to redefine and elevate café dining with their new menu. The café aims to bring the idea of café dining up a notch, by presenting more conscious and refined dishes while maintaining the affordability and comfort associated with brunch food. One of the highlights in the menu is the use of upcycled ingredients in their dishes that would otherwise be discarded and reimagining them as part of a dish. Some of the dishes made with upcycled ingredients include Salmon Skin Chips, as well…

Hot on the heels of Sum Yi Tai and Eliza, Coterie Concepts launches the third character of their narrative, Chi Kinjo, a Modern Sushi Bar and Highball Den. Set in the memory of a time in Kyoto when chaos was the mandate and danger was foretold, Chi Kinjo is an intimate yet lively Sushi & Izakaya restaurant and basement bar where promises are made, and secrets are kept. For the uninitiated, Coterie Concepts has named every shop after a character of their narrative – Sum Yi Tai, Eliza, and now Chi Kinjo. The most fervent followers of the narrative may…

Homegrown pizza chain Alt. Pizza opened its newest outlet at Holland Village and sports a fresh new look! Featuring hand-painted and street art inspired motifs customised for the outlet and catchy taglines in a mix of vibrant colours, the new take on its interior reiterates the brand’s philosophy of serving simple and honest food, all with a dash of fun. Inside the kitchen – where the magic takes place – are three artisan bakers who run the entire back-of-house operations. This is made possible thanks to a carefully hand-crafted and raised five-year-old sourdough starter, affectionately named ‘Sophia’. Sophia is the…

Alright, let’s cut right to the chase: For $23.90, Tokidon’s Truffle Wagyu Don is crazy good. The earthiness of truffle is released with every bite, working impeccably with a grade six steak like a pas de deux on the tongue. Throw a tiny bit of foie gras to the mix and you have a flavour threesome. Holy cow, I couldn’t hold back the approving moans and the urge to run out of the restaurant getting every passerby to give it a go. Here’s a fair warning – if you intend to try anything else, eat those first. I made the…

If you could wish for any birthday cake in the world, what would it be? Mine would be some sort of a savoury cake, you know, like a twelve-inch burger or a mountain of salmon with a candle on top. I’m just a savoury over sweet kind of person. But my only gripe is, those ‘cakes’ aren’t really cakes. It’s just a round, gigantic version of what we eat for lunch and dinner. I wished there was something that looks like a cake, that makes for a good dessert course and yet, savoury. And then, one day, a fairy god-baker…

Occupying one of the street-level units of Hotel G Singapore, Ginett Restaurant & Wine Bar seems imposing. Despite the casual vibes, everything is impeccably put together: from the tall ceiling, the mezzanine, a wall of wine glasses dangling over the bar counter, to the tiled floor. You probably wouldn’t take a second look at this place even if you have a loose budget. This place looks expensive. Except it isn’t. Poring through the menu, you’d find a glass of wine starting at $6, a cup of latte at $5, and a serving of pasta at $16, all of which doesn’t…

Any self-respecting meat-lover, particularly those who adore beef, should have at least heard of Lawry’s. With an 80-year history, someone would’ve told you about an anniversary dinner or a birthday celebration there. After all, they are known for their attention to detail, great hospitality and little surprises, all of which leaves an indelible impression as you celebrate your life’s milestones. Above all, Lawry’s is known for serving up a great prime rib meal. But you should know this by now. What you probably don’t know is that Lawry’s is celebrating its 19th anniversary in Singapore. This July, treat yourself to…

Beer is the hallmark of all great civilisations – transcending culture, geography, and time, its constant reinvention has seen it promising a good time to the likes of the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, and of course, the teenager looking for his first casual taste of booze. It’s hard to imagine how anyone could improve such a classic drink but Carlsberg happily defies this notion with the official launch of the new Carlsberg “POP Cap” Smooth Draught Pint. Comfortably hosted at Zouk, the launch party last month saw partygoers being treated to an evening of fun and chill vibes. From a magic…
