Miss Saigon is Somerset’s 24/7 Banh Mi sanctuary for Those Sinful Sandwich Fixes
As cliched as it is to claim, the dogmatic hallmark of good authentic Vietnamese food is dinginess. Even the biggest brands start off as seedy hole-in-the-wall joints before falling prey to the glitz of shopping malls, leading to the slip into mediocrity.

Atlas is a Bar that intoxicates everyone with the most splendorous ambience in Singapore
Not all that glitters is gold. Nonetheless, Atlas’ splendour is pure bliss for the senses. It’s not an audacious claim to say that no other bar in Singapore is as recognisable as the Parkview Square anchor unit with all its gilded majesty.
Meadesmoore is Singapore’s best casual alternative to stuffy steakhouses
Steakhouses are no longer the decorous grand affairs of the yesteryears. While prim and proper establishments still possess their old-school draw, Singapore is seeing casually chic steakhouses take the spotlight — places like Meadesmoore at Telok Ayer.
Amoy Street’s Golden Boy — Stay Gold Flamingo Overflows with no-holds-barred Rock ‘N’ Roll CHarm
Unit number 69 — nice. A foray into Stay Gold Flamingo’s Amoy Street shopfront may initially feel like a catfishing experience. The amiable cream walls, complimented by a smattering of auburn accents and an array of voguish floral arrangements, barely utter a hint of dive bar irreverence.
