The holiday season is in full swing, with our social feeds flooded with envy-inducing travel photos from popular destinations like Taiwan.
For the rest of us Singapore-bound folks, there’s always authentic eateries such as 8 Degrees, who recently moved their third outlet from Serangoon to Lowland Road near Kovan MRT station.
Domino’s Singapore is back with your favourite umami lineup of not one, but two mentaiko flavours! This time, with an improved recipe that has bonito flakes for that extra touch of Japanese flavour.
Update 19 Jan 2025: Bing Tang Tang Shui has closed.
Fancied visiting your parents’ office when you were a child? Here’s one office you’ll be glad to visit over and over, whether you’re an adolescent or a working adult.
Bing Tang Tang Shui 冰糖糖水办公室 – which stands for Rock Sugar Office in Chinese, is a fully-themed cafe that styles itself as an office from the 80s, from its traditional desserts, all-out decor, and even a neat little backstory of fictional characters.
The story goes that Boss Kok Wah, the head of a sugar distribution company, dreamt up a dessert haven using his company’s products. The rest is history.
Rosti seems to be growing in popularity in Singapore, with numerous cafes and even hawkers offering this Swiss staple. Yet, it’s pretty uncommon to find places serving rosti exclusively, considering how quickly food trends come and go.
PÖONSTI is a new rosti concept currently operating out of Old Hen Kitchen in Farrer Park, serving various takes on it exclusively during brunch. Coincidentally, the cafe is also home to artisanal pizza joint, Chooby Pizza come evening.
Crawford Lane has no shortage of cozy cafes and eateries, making it one of the go-to neighbourhoods in Lavender for a casual, cafe-hopping experience. Adding to this enclave is Simple Cafe, an unpretentious joint with homely vibes.
Formerly located at West Coast Drive, Simple Cafe has earned a reputation as a Taiwanese-style cafe. Stepping in, you feel like you are about to play a calefare in a Mandpop music video with the warm lights and soft Mandopop beats playing in the background.
Update 19 Jan 2025: Oni Kimbap has moved to Eastwood Center, Taste Orchard, and Bukit Merah Central.
Kimbap is touted as one of the staples in Korean cuisine. Yet, you’d be hard-pressed to find a wide range of renditions of this street food as you would at Oni Kimbap, a former home-based Korean food business that recently opened its dine-in location at Aperia Mall in Lavender.
While it’s no secret that Tanjong Pagar is Singapore’s capital of Japanese food, there are still some hidden gems tucked away in little pockets of this central enclave. Today’s best-kept secret is Enishi Ramen, a Michelin Bib Gourmand ramen hailing from Kobe, Japan.
Located on the second level of International Plaza, Enishi Ramen is a no-frills ramen shop that sells no more than 100 bowls per day, supposedly to retain the quality of its cooking. With less than twenty seats available around the counter, it’s easy to see why Enishi Ramen is home to snaking queues daily.
