Update 19 Jan 2025: Harritts Donuts has closed.
Regulars to Clarke Quay may have noticed the addition of a cozy takeaway kiosk selling puffy looking donuts on Havelock Road. Unlike other Japanese bakeries that have opened to much fanfare in downtown Singapore, Haritts Donuts & Coffee made its Singapore debut in May, in a rather quiet, understated manner – much like its pioneer shop in Tokyo, Japan.
When it comes to seafood, especially shellfish, the messier the better. Well good news for proponents of messy eating – multi award winning The Boiler now has a second foothold at The Esplanade!
PastaMania sure has stepped up its game recently, with the inclusion of several premium items along with their regular menu. The latest to grace dining tables at PastaMania stores islandwide, is their annual Chef Creations, where 24 PastaMania chefs battle it out to create their very own pasta dish.
This year’s theme was Seafood Fusion, but it could very well be re-named to Spicy Seafood, seeing how the winning Chef’s Creations pack a hell lotta heat!
Those who have ventured to Punggol’s “cargo container” dining enclave, might be familiar with Big Fish Small Fish, a homegrown fast food brand that prides itself on being Singapore’s first fish and crisps shop. Well, after setting up shop at Yishun and Bugis, they’ve finally made their way to Tampines Mall!
Update 19 Jan 2025: Hei Kim Cafe has moved to Far East Plaza.
In a time where 8 out of 10 cafes charge an exorbitant $20++ for a mediocre eggs on toast, Hei Kim Cafe‘s crazy affordable prices for a simple eggs or pasta dish is incredibly refreshing. Located along the cozy stretch of Changi Road, this lifestyle cafe, which also houses xHundredfold‘s shop and studio, is a pretty new addition to the cafe scene in the east.
A common misconception about Singapore is that we have less interesting travel spots to offer compared to our…larger neighbours. However, what we lack in size, we more than make up for with quirky, fulfilling sites and activities per square metre. At GoBear’s invitation, I’ve set out to prove our humble Little Red Dot is indeed more than shiny new buildings and shopping malls, to bring you 5 snubbed travel wonders to include in your itinerary!
Update 19 Jan 2025: Kipos Gourmet has closed.
Health bowls are a dime a dozen; what’s one more in the CBD?
Named for the Greek word for “garden”, Kipos Gourmet, the latest addition to Tanjong Pagar Center‘s food enclave, aims to promote both healthy eating and sustainable living, with wholesome ingredients served with cutleries made from recyclables and bioplastics.
