Update March 2023: Park Bench Deli has closed.
Park Bench Deli is proof that you never rest on your laurels, no matter how popular you may be. The American-inspired deli has undergone three different iterations since opening its doors at Telok Ayer some seven years ago.
Its most recent transformation is its most drastic thus far, transforming the deli from a casual sandwich shop to a full sit-down experience complete with cozy booths and intimate lighting.
The great thing about cloud kitchens is being able to indulge in restaurant-quality foods without the hassle of having to get dressed and step out of your home.
Opened three months ago, Crab & Burger aims to plug a gap in Singapore’s burger scene where beef-based goods are aplenty, but with options far and few between for seafood lovers. Its founder, a self-proclaimed introvert who is passionate about expressing his culinary creativity through food, once headed the culinary team at the famed Burger & Lobster in Singapore, so you know you’re getting your money’s worth.
Update 19 Jan 2025: Okashi Gaku’s vending machine has been removed.
I’m a sucker for cakes and snacks that come in cute packages, so when Okashi Gaku‘s cake-in-a-can first went viral on Japanese social media, I immediately added it to my bucket list for my next (if ever) trip. Fortunately, trying these cakes for ourselves will be a reality come 16 September, when its first overseas machine opens at the entrance of Eat at Seven in Suntec City!
Singapore’s cafe scene is alive and bustling, with new joints and eateries popping up every month. September Coffee coincidentally opened its doors in the month of September and has already managed to garner throngs of customers at its premises along Southbridge Road in Chinatown.
Eggslut Singapore is commemorating its first anniversary in Singapore with not one, but two time-limited items that will be available at its Scotts Square outpost from now till 16 October 2022!
Bak chor mee is one of those quintessentially Singaporean things that is hard not to love, yet is not easy to nail either. Thankfully for our local food heritage, new contenders like Minced Pork Bros are rising to the challenge of preserving one of our favourite supper dishes, albeit with a few modern twists.
Opened by the owners of hawker legend Roast Paradise, also located at Old Airport Road Food Centre, Minced Pork Bros is a mod-concept stall. Its “young generation” founders, Randall Gan and Kai Koh, have previously collaborated with media personalities such as Class 95FM and The Muttons.
With inflation and uncertainties abound, it’s comforting to know that some things remain constant. Like the unbelievably affordable food at A9 Noodle Dumpling in Fortune Centre!
