G Bar & Grill, Charcoal-Grilled Delights At Apex @ Henderson Road



We took some time out recently and went all the way to Apex @ Henderson (the building is situated at the intersection between Jalan Bukit Merah and Henderson Road) to visit G Bar & Grill.

The casual eatery prides itself on serving charcoal-grilled meats that's churned from the compact yet powerful Bertha Charcoal Oven, one of the most coveted ovens in the world which is used in Michelin-starred restaurants, and by world-renowned celebrity chefs.

Couple that with wok-hei infused dishes that's fired using high-grade wok, we were totally sold on the menu.

NEW Opening! 15 Stamford by "Demon Chef" Alvin Leung @ The Capitol Kempinski Hotel, Singapore



15 Stamford by Alvin Leung which was unveiled to the public a day ago is one of the last new restaurants to open on our shores before 2018 draws to an end. The dining experience at the 150-seater restaurant capped off my dining escapades for this year with a perfect note!

You may have already heard of Chef-Founder Alvin Leung before. Wearing a "demon chef" persona, he is best known for using rule-breaking culinary rebellion as his personal brand, and his multi-faceted cuisine at 3 Michelin-starred Bo Innovation in Hong Kong. Is anyone fancying a "Sex on the Beach" (featuring an edible condom filled with honey and ham) right now?

MO BAR @ Mandarin Oriental, Singapore ~ Afternoon Tea With Exquisite Treats And Lovely View



One of the best decisions I made recently was to take some time off work and spend a relaxing time over afternoon tea at Mandarin Oriental's MO BAR.

Formerly-known as Axis Bar & Bar, the space has since undergone a refurbishment and recently re-opened as MO Bar. I'm glad that the full-height windows are retained, offering us a lovely view of Marina Bay. Never mind that UV rays are harmful for our skin haha. I just want to sink into the plush pink couches, eat, drink, and chill away...

Folklore @ Destination Hotel, Beach Road ~ An Heritage Eurasian Christmas Feast Awaits



The kind of food that goes onto the Christmas dinner table differs from family to family, and for Folklore's Chef Damian D'Silva, an elaborate fare featuring a myriad of traditional Eurasian dishes prepared by his grandfather would mark the spirit of celebration at the D'Silva's home.

This festive season from 14th to 31st December, diners will get to have a taste of his family traditions too as Chef Damian will be showcasing lesser-know heritage dishes from his grandfather's repertoire.

Paradise Group Opens Le Shrimp Ramen @ Paragon Orchard ~ This Is A Real Winner! Must-Try!



Paradise Group has just added another restaurant to its portfolio: Le Shrimp Ramen!

So is it Chinese la mian? or Japanese ramen? Le Shrimp Ramen actually marries both Chinese and Japanese culinary influences! This is Singapore's very first Chinese la mian concept to offer shrimp broth!

The idea came about while Paradise Group's CEO Eldwin Chua was in Japan. A specialty ramen stall that sells flavorful shrimp-based broth left such a deep impression on his mind that he became inspired to recreate the broth and put a Chinese spin on it by using local ingredients.

Kindori ~ Japanese Craft Chicken & Beers @ CHIJMES



"If they (Korean) can do it, we (Japanese) can do it just as well, if not better!"

That was literally the case after an evening over chimaek (the pairing of Korean fried chicken and beer). Long story short: The friendly challenge was accepted, inspiration came striking down and... tadah! Kindori has now landed at Chijmes!

Located on the first level just outside Rengaya, Kindori specializes in Japanese fried chicken and... you guessed it... Japanese craft beers.
