Part of the Marina Bay Sands Celebrity Chef Restaurants, French bistro db Bistro Moderne is serving up a little piece of southern France with the Mondays in Provence menu. Mondays in Provence S$$68++ per person, additional S$32++ with wine pairing Mondays, 6pm – 10pm Located in south eastern France on the Mediterranean, the cuisine from Provence boasts the flavours of summer and an emphasis on ingredients such as olives, summer […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/db-bistro-moderne-provence/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/hippopotamus-restaurant-grill/ https://sparklette.net/food/hippopotamus-restaurant-grill/#comments Fri, 17 Jun 2011 03:00:30 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1169

Hippopotamus Grill Restaurant is an established chain originating from France. Now in Singapore, ensconced in Marina Square, the steakhouse provides a wide selection of premium quality beef. Although Hippopotamus specialises in beef, they do have a small selection of French classics like escargots, foie gras, bone marrow and other main courses like chicken ($14.90-$16.90), lamb ($18.90), fish ($18.90) and seafood platters (S$13.90-S$15.90). And thankfully, nothing of hippopotamuses.

I have stumbled across a few reviews that waxed lyrical about OSO Ristorante, describing it as “Singapore’s Best Italian Restaurant.” While I’m not sure if I’d go that far, I have indeed recommended it to friends who were wondering where to have great Italian food in Singapore. Presided over by the same restaurant group that runs the Baretto bar and lounge downstairs and French restaurant Absinthe next door, Oso is […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/oso-ristorante/feed/ 4 https://sparklette.net/food/boathouse-brunch/ https://sparklette.net/food/boathouse-brunch/#comments Fri, 06 May 2011 10:21:10 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1131

Boathouse Singapore, situated at the beautiful heritage building of The Fullerton Waterboat House – replete with the circular stern of a ship – dishes up modern European cuisine. Decked in natural materials and historical artefacts, Boathouse provides an intimate dining area with stylish décor. The ambience isn’t the only thing that impresses; the wide wine list sets off plenty of oenological bells and whistles. You can even pop into the […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/boathouse-brunch/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/mothers-day-singapore-restaurant-promotions/ https://sparklette.net/food/mothers-day-singapore-restaurant-promotions/#comments Mon, 25 Apr 2011 03:00:22 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1125

Mother’s Day is happening on Sunday, May 8, 2011. Restaurants and cafés in Singapore are pulling out all the stops for Mom’s special day – and we show you where to find a few of them just in case you need ideas. Here is a compilation of Mother’s Day restaurant promotions, specials and deals in Singapore including brunch, afternoon tea, dinners, set menus and buffets. Whether your Mom prefers casual […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/mothers-day-singapore-restaurant-promotions/feed/ 4 https://sparklette.net/food/novus-restaurant/ https://sparklette.net/food/novus-restaurant/#comments Wed, 13 Apr 2011 09:59:22 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1120

To provide visitors with a well-rounded experience, museums are no longer just home to artefacts and artworks. Restaurants are also housed within the same institution, at times drawing in more gastronomes than culture vultures. Such is the case of Novus Restaurant & Bar, ensconced in the colonial building of National Museum of Singapore. I remember my first visit to the museum when it reopened in 2006. The architecture is breathtaking […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/novus-restaurant/feed/ 1 https://sparklette.net/food/table-66/ https://sparklette.net/food/table-66/#comments Thu, 06 Jan 2011 07:24:19 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1054

Just what is sous-vide exactly? French for “under vacuum”, sous-vide is a cooking technique that has ingredients sealed in an airtight plastic bag followed by gentle cooking in a heated water bath. This maintains the integrity of the food and prevents the loss of moisture, resulting in juicer textures and more intense colours and flavours. At Table 66, the sous-vide technique is used in preparing many of the dishes. The […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/table-66/feed/ 3 https://sparklette.net/food/cafe-le-chateau/ https://sparklette.net/food/cafe-le-chateau/#comments Fri, 30 Apr 2010 08:07:34 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=962

It is one of the best kept secrets of the Singapore food scene, but a restaurant at Valley Point has been quietly dishing out some excellent cooking. Cafe Le Chateau has kept well below the foodie radar since it opened in 2009, offering a myriad of French and European dishes. While the restaurant itself is pretty new, a seasoned hand helms the kitchen, none other than Head Chef Foo who […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/cafe-le-chateau/feed/ 7 https://sparklette.net/food/resorts-world-sentosa-boulangerie-cafe/ https://sparklette.net/food/resorts-world-sentosa-boulangerie-cafe/#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 09:35:30 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=934

Have you been to the Resorts World at Sentosa yet? The integrated resort has soft-opened its hotels, casino and the Universal Studios theme park to much fanfare. This week, we show you another dining option at the resort. Boulangerie at Festive Hotel is a patisserie located at the lobby. It is instantly recognisable by the distinct colourful lanterns hanging from the tall ceiling. Over here, you can get quick bites […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/resorts-world-sentosa-boulangerie-cafe/feed/ 15 https://sparklette.net/food/bakerzin-macaron/ https://sparklette.net/food/bakerzin-macaron/#comments Wed, 11 Feb 2009 05:02:23 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=818

I have a riddle for you. What’s crispy on the outside, chewy and moist on the inside, and resembles cute little buns? Here, I’ll give you a hint: they come in a plethora of irresistible colours and flavours! Okay, just one last clue. They are French! If macaron is the first thing that pops in your mind, my, you must have a sweet tooth!

Normally, degustation or tasting meals would turn me away because they tend to cost a lot while offering only petite-sized portions rather than a hearty meal. Yeah, yeah, I know that’s the idea, but still… Anyway, Dozo is one restaurant that offers degustation meals at friendly prices. Degustation menu Lunch (6-course): S$38.80++ Dinner (7-course): S$58.80++ The conventional degustation meal consists of multiple courses, with each course fixed by the chef.

Most of you faithful blog readers already know what my favourite dessert is. It’s either chocolate mousse or the dessert that I most frequently blog about – chocolate lava cake. A friend offered to take me some place nice that serves a wonderful rendition of this dessert. And boy, did he over-deliver! The “nice” place he had in mind? The prestigious members-only Tanglin Club! Of the three restaurants at the […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/tanglin-club-tavern/feed/ 15 https://sparklette.net/food/ma-maison/ https://sparklette.net/food/ma-maison/#comments Mon, 23 Apr 2007 17:09:42 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/ma-maison-traditional-english-cottage-dining/

Each time I am looking for a nice dining place at Bugis Junction, I would take one look at Ma Maison and give it a miss. Why? The exterior of this restaurant looks rundown. Its tiny entrance leading into a dark place doesn’t exactly look inviting either. But some weeks back, out of exasperation that I had run out of restaurants at the mall, I decided to take a quick […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/ma-maison/feed/ 15 https://sparklette.net/food/out-of-the-pan/ https://sparklette.net/food/out-of-the-pan/#comments Tue, 31 Oct 2006 14:50:16 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/out-of-the-pan-storm-in-a-teacup/

I like Raffles Marketplace, located at the basement of Raffles City Shopping Centre, with its range of stores such as Crumpler, Roxy, MPH bookstore. Of course, what’s even better is the extensive lot of restaurants such as Din Tai Fung and Aerin’s, and take-out outlets like Chippy British Take Away. On a recent evening I paid a visit to the crêperie, Out of the Pan. Located right next to the […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/out-of-the-pan/feed/ 6
