gastronomy is more profound than astronomy-theology-biology combined
The En Sakaba @ Orchard Central has been up & running for a little less than a quarter of a year, a stone’s throw away from the landmark Izakaya & Sakaba scene. Situated at the foot of Orchard Central, highly visible & accessible.
Don’t under estimate the small space it occupies, for they have a handsome selection of Sake from different Japanese distilleries. And the food menu is designed not merely to satiate hunger pangs, but intentional to go along with Sake too.
From 11 September onwards
$98++ (with free flow of juices and soft drinks)
$138++ (with free flow of Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut Champagne and house pour wines, juices and soft drinks)
Lunch Buffet: $52++, Dinner Buffet: $70++
Grissini (transl. bread sticks), situated at the ground floor of Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. Unlike most other Italian restaurants, Chef Antonio belts out some of the Southern Italian Signatures. So, be prepared to be pampered with seafood themed dishes, as well as the much anticipated grills straight from the Josper Oven.
one of the few Italian joints that offers a decent selection of charcuterie & cheeses, has a pretty balanced variety of pastas & pizzas, and juicy delicious proteins (ranch or coast). Not to mention, select wines that go well with the course of meal.
I should think this is a place to be, if you need to impress someone over a quiet classy & comforting meal.
Legend Seafood is a very young establishment that offers a slight twist to the typical Zi Char 煮炒 menu. Situated at New Century Food House (the arched coffee shop) along Bishan Street 11.
Legend Seafood operates for lunch & dinner till late daily. The bold attempt to innovate with ingredients, experimentation of tastes, I should think there will be more interesting dishes to be rolled out in due course.
Xperience is orchestrated by the youngest hotel head chef in town: Executive Chef Trevor Paulo, and his crew, endeavors to push the boundaries & challenge culinary status quo in the dishes they roll out.
It is not every day that one gets to witness the process in an open kitchen with little or no boundaries. Watching the food prepared, plated & presented at the table, makes it somewhat cozier & personable. Artistic food, good quality at affordable pricing, makes for a go-to place for business lunch & dinner and/or hosting guests.
Over and above selections of bastions in the likes of Fresh Salads & Cheeses, Crustacean & Shellfish, and the Roasted Striploin from the typical buffet spread, from 18-31 July 2016, is a period featuring authentic Thai cuisines, bearing influence from his grandmother’s recipes. Sous Chef Sedtapat Sukpaisanpongsa, alongside Chef Kamonwan Juntarasert and Chef Sittha Sa-Nguansat bring the adventure of street food signatures of different regions across Thailand, into this all-you-can-eat dinner scene.
The dishes originating from the North (Nuea) & the North-East (Isaan) regions, account for the majority of what this buffet spread has to offer.
Three B’s wrapped in one. Tavern style seating makes for minimized boundaries & encourages mingling, raise your mugs and have a few toasts (in literal sense). Nassim Hill holds a reputation for some good treats that many find themselves addicted to. At 2100hrs, the crowd looked like they’ve only just started, loud chatter & bursts of guffaw.
For this limited period of GSS, buy any 3 main courses, and the 4th is free. Hear ye footballers, ruggers, dragon boaters and athletes of different disciplines, indulge in carbo loading.
Aussie Aussie Aussie~! Oy Oy Oy~! For this limited period of GSS, enjoy 50% off the 2nd main course and dessert from the a la carte menu. Brings back fond memories of my days pursuing my Bachelors in Brisbane, Down Under.
Conservation building perched along Scotts Road, at the intersection of Cairnhill Road, distinct black & white themed building exterior, impossible to miss. Has limited parking space, but valet service is available.
So if you haven’t the luxury of time for a getaway up north to Penang to hunt for signature treats, this is a good haunt to satiate your cravings for Penang Peranakan dishes. Be sure to take advantage of the ongoing GSS deals, and indulge in the a la carte buffet.
Beast & Butterflies, the name in itself suggests a concept of fusion, a combination of extreme opposites, and with it, balance redefined.
I suppose Beast & Butterflies would be a more fulfilling setting for any form of casual communion among friends. Soothing ambience, nice décor, comfortable seating, good food, pleasant service… and most importantly, prices affordable.
Ribena now comes fizzy. Wrapped in aluminum cans, 325ml of goodness. Fear not, the fizz isn’t intense enough to sprinkle the spectacle lenses, neither is it prickly for the palates. One of the lowest sugar levels compared to other fizzy drinks on the shelves, it’s an obvious choice for both young & young at heart.
Originated in 1991, on the campus of the University of Florida, the 2 co-founders Matt Friedman & Adam Scott, recognized the void in availability for food variety on campus in the after hours, initiated the concept of delivering buffalo wings, and it was an instant hit with their coeds.
