New Restaurants

Ki Su Shoujin Omakase
Located along Tras Street, Ki Su Shoujin Omakase is a new restaurant by the team behind Joie by Dozo with a focus on a plant-based omakase menu. Ki Su is probably the only plant-based centric omakase in Singapore at the moment, which in itself is quite a novel and forward-thinking concept. [Read more here…]

Swensen’s Unlimited
It has been years since I visited Swensen’s and there is good reason for me to do so recently. The popular casual dining brand just opened its world-first International Buffet Concept at Changi Airport Terminal 2 Arrival Hall, and it is called Swensen’s Unlimited. This is Swensen’s revamped space at Terminal 2, and it is a spacious 200-seater restaurant with private rooms. [Read more here…]

The Prince
Modern Arabic restaurant is uncommon in Singapore and The Prince along Peck Seah Street in Tanjong Pagar is one of the newest restaurants in Singapore which pays tribute to this exotic cuisine. Formerly Fat Prince, the interior of The Prince is gorgeous and takes on a contemporary homage to desert architecture. The Karam Menu priced from S$78 per guest is worth going for, which includes the delicious mezze platter, soup, a choice of main, and dessert. [Read more here…]

Ingen Kyoto
From the team behind Hvala, Ingen Kyoto is the group’s latest concept with a focus on a slower pace of life and tea appreciation.

Bao Er Cafe
Balestier Plaza is sizzling hot the past month all thanks to Bao Er Cafe, a casual eatery in the sleepy complex which garnered huge social media attention lately after its story broke out on 8days. The name Bao Er is in fact the name of the wife of founder Jeremy, where the space is a no-frills set up like an old school coffeeshop, except that you get to enjoy air-conditioning here thankfully. The Kaya Toast lives up to its hype. [Read more here…]
