When it comes to sushi, I tend to frequent Sakae Sushi. Ichiban Sushi, on the other hand, is still very new to me, and I’m game to try it out. The Ichiban menu appears to be rather different from Sakae’s. They have whipped up a whole range of colourful sushi...
My, that’s one bold statement to make, and I make it with utmost confidence. (Ayam is chicken.) The Riverside Indonesian BBQ food stall is located at the innermost corner of the Kopitiam food court at Plaza Singapura. It is positioned at the worst possible spot in the entire food court....
Despite our close proximity with Indonesia, one would be hard-pressed to find an authentic Indonesian eatery in Singapore. My favourite Indonesian or Javanese place to dine is limited to The Rice Table Indonesian Restaurant. Then there’s also Riverside Indonesian BBQ at the Plaza Singapura food court which is awesome, though...
At Sho-U, one of the newest Japanese restaurants in town, the thing that strikes visitors the most would probably be its unique design. Don’t get me wrong though, the food at this contemporary Japanese fine-dining establishment is nothing short of excellent. But being a sucker for aesthetics (something that Singapore...
Whether you are a Singaporean or foreigner, you would find a very unique and traditional Singapore dining experience at the Singapore Heritage Restaurant. I am a sucker for all things vintage, so on the restaurant’s kind invitation, I brought Mommy dearest down for a food-tasting session. My first visit to...

I’m not exactly a fan of Chinese food. After compiling the list of best and worst restaurants in Singapore for 2006, I realised that not one Chinese restaurant won or was even nominated for any of the “best” awards, while they scooped up the winner and runner-up positions for the...
St James Power Station is the clubbing hotspots in town. It has been refurbished from an old power station. And that’s not all. This power station is also Singapore’s first coal-powered power plant and was built in 1927! That’s quite a bit of history isn’t it? Located at the Sentosa...
Tucked at the basement of The Heeren, The Vila’ge sits where Marché used to. Most people would probably not even notice the difference since the two restaurants share an identical look and concept. The Vila’ge is pronounced “vee-lah-jey”. Until very recently, I had thought it was simply pronounced and spelled...
Just when I thought it would be a long time before I find another restaurant that’s worth raving about (like graze), along comes one that rekindles my hope. Aerin’s, a modern European restaurant, is one of the bigger eating establishments at the Raffles City marketplace. With its dining area spread...
