Indonesian comfort food gets a modern upgrade at MOONSTONE Bar, a quaint noodle place cum bar situated along Amoy Street. Helmed by Keith Koh and Anthony Utama, the latter of whom also owns the famous Tamade Cafeteria in Bali, this new entry to Tanjong Pagar’s robust kaleidoscope of food joints and watering holes is where you can expect to find street food staples with a couple of twists.
Update 19 Jan 2025: Korio has moved to Central Boulevard.
A fairly new entrant to Far East Square, Korio has been taking Singapore’s F&B scene by storm with its mouthwatering grilled sandwiches and New York inspired brioche doughnuts.
On my first visit to Korio’s hole-in-the-wall sized kiosk one weekend afternoon, nearly all sandwiches were sold out, and the display case was wiped clean of doughnuts. It took me another visit, also early on a weekday, to finally score those legendary sweets. Looking at the large crowd and 1-hour waiting times, one could easily forget that eating out ever took a hit from 2020’s coronavirus pandemic!
Not one to rest on their laurels, LUNA on Amoy Street has been hard at work to concoct new, mouthwatering cakes. September brings two new entries to the patisserie’s menu: Rose Raspberry and Yuzu Meringue!
“Plant dreams, pull weeds, and grow a happy life.”
BOTANY is a gorgeous cafe situated amongst other F&B outposts at Robertson Blue on Robertson Quay. Its mix of eclectic Western and Asian-influenced dishes are aesthetically pleasing and flavourful, making it a must-visit spot for an all-rounded cafe experience.
Dashi Master Marusaya at Robertson Blue is certainly no stranger to cooking up delectable, tantalising dishes that stay true to the essence of Japanese cuisine. Adding to their impressive line-up of shabu shabu specials, grilled, and tempura offerings is their new Set Lunch Menu which launches today!
Update 19 Jan 2025: Mischief has closed.
As we resume some semblance of “life before lockdown”, one thing that’s been on my mind for ages is waking up to a good brunch on the weekend. Here to satiate long-deprived cravings for hearty morning grub is Mischief, everyone’s favourite American-style bar at Esplanade.
will.i.am once sang, “I like them big, I like them chunky”, and the same couldn’t ring more true for me and my cookies. The chunkier the better, and if they come with an oozing centre, even better!
In the two years since it launched online, Nasty Cookie has added many accolades under its belt, the biggest of it being its first takeout kiosk at Funan Mall in City Hall. The self-proclaimed first ever NY-style gourmet cookie is known for its decadent toppings and crumbly dough made with about 15 – 20% less sugar, so you can indulge your cookie cravings without the calorie-laden guilt trip that comes with it.
