[Update: Mooi Patisserie has closed and reopened as Wren Cafe.] Unsurprisingly, we’ve seen a growing stable of chefs venturing out into their own cafes and F&B operations of late. Singapore’s pastries and cafe scenes are thriving after all, maybe growing even more robustly than the restaurant ecosystem. Inserting itself into the ranks of personally headed projects is Mooi Patisserie by Chef Gail Ho, a pastry chef who’d previously earned a Michelin star at Meta.
Revel in LUMO Bar & Restaurant’s Exquisite Japanese Scandinavian Atmosphere
There’s an enigmatic restaurant settled right in the corner unit of the junction connecting Carpenter Street and South Bridge Road.

Fizzy Dayz serves $9.90 Happy Hour Highballs to bring dive bars back in Vogue in Singapore
[Update: Fizzy Dayz has closed and Draft Land has taken over the location.] “Soft reset” is a trend I’d attribute to Singapore’s bar scene in 2022 — the scene seemed to have developed swanky speakeasy fatigue and new bars were getting more and more ratchet as dive was coming back in trend and Fizzy Dayz is leading the charge in 2023.

Quality Melts is the Hidden Gem making Singapore’s Best Ugly Beautiful Sandwiches
There is always beauty to be found, even in the most humble and stripped-down locales. Singapore may be a luxurious and modern metropolis but that is doubly true for us, a city as impassioned about our humble hawker food as much as our Michelin-starred concepts. Being a sleek transplantation of New York into Singapore, Quality Melts is a concept that thoroughly fulfils this ethos. Continue reading “Quality Melts”
