A Sense of Wonder, born of the bespoke craft at bar stories

Jouncing with a frenetic rhythm, an icy avalanche rung out with lyrical resonance as each wrist flick sent them flying through hollow metal receptacles. As soon as the frenzy subsides, a mellifluous transition guides the mouth of the container, mesh strainer now affixed, to the rim of a chilled glass and the concoction rushes in to fill the concave bed. Behold, the first cocktail of the service at Bar Stories.

Revolver Polishes up Indian Fusion Tapas at Barood, Its chic Izakaya Date spot upstairs

All I see is red. Up the barely illuminated staircase beside Revolver and past a gilded sign that demarcated the secret entrance of Barood, the seemingly seedy second-storey lounge was covered floor-to-ceiling in an unending swathe of impassioned crimson.

Here Hides Chef Dylan Ong’s Love Letter to Mod-Sin Cuisine, Made for the Masses

Love inexorably always leads to woe. “The one that got away” is direly overused, yet this persisting ideal still somehow consistently inflicts deeply profound hurt. Love demands dauntlessness — that’s something that Chef Dylan Ong’s beloved concept, The Masses, perfectly encapsulates.

las palmas rooftop bar

Las Palmas Rooftop Bar is a Glamorous breath of Tropic Vibrance for Singapore’s cocktail scene

Aloft at the thirty-third level of somewhere in Novena, I observed as shards of the auburn evening glow dipped into a radiant cerulean pool, one that stretched to the far edges of the rooftop. A genial breeze rustled my loose collar while I studied the uneven cityscape that peeped out from within a flourish of clouds.

SANDO at Alexandra Technopark — a Hidden gem that personifies affordable, Artisan Excellence

Fate is a strange thing. It often leads you to the most serendipitous moments. My voyage to Alexandra Technopark had only a sole focus towards scouting the new Mooi Patisserie but —call it a coincidence or a stroke of luck— it led me to the quaint little unit that housed Sando, in a reunion of a lifetime.

Surrey Hills Deli is A Wholesome Sandwich Deli perfect for quick lunches in the CBD

Lunch hour in the CBD is the epitome of disorganisation where snaking queues and tissue-packet placeholders make their cameo and the office mob struggles to find a place to settle down for lunch. If you’re one of the CBD denizens looking for a quick fix, the new Surrey Hills Deli would check all the boxes.

col singapore review

COL is a restaurant with ruthlessly Rich flavours & a painfully chic Interior

Keong Saik has no shortage of modish restaurants. A blindfolded person could, more likely than not, walk aimlessly and be greeted with the sight of a sleekly furnished restaurant facade when the restraints are off. Overloaded with cutting-edge dining concepts, what would allow newcomers to stand out?

Duxton’s Kumi Den Elegantly simplifies the unpretentious wine bar archetype even further

It’s 2023 and Singapore’s wine bars have almost completely divorced themselves from the deep-rooted public perception — one of punctilious, snobbish inaccessibility. However, the new Kumi Den at Duxton might signify yet another paradigm shift for the casual wine bars of Singapore
