Perched at the rooftop of the Marina Bay Sands casino resort, KU DÉ TA boasts one of the most impressive views you can get in Singapore. Whether stopping in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a leisurely round of drinks, you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. Located at the Sands SkyPark, KU DÉ TA is an all-in-one dining and clubbing destination with a restaurant, club lounge, open-air […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/ku-de-ta/feed/ 3 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/tab-singapore/ https://sparklette.net/food/tab-singapore/#comments Thu, 13 Jan 2011 09:24:55 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1057

Step into TAB and it feels as though you have stepped into a mini concert hall. Spanning two floors at Orchard Hotel, TAB is a unique concert venue where you can enjoy nightly performances by local and international artists while dining or sipping on a cocktail. The main dining area on the first floor gives you an unobstructed view of the performances. Soft, subdued lighting and candlelight, accompanied by food, […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/tab-singapore/feed/ 3 https://sparklette.net/food/cafe-del-mar/ https://sparklette.net/food/cafe-del-mar/#comments Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:24:04 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=989

Things are getting interesting at Café del Mar, one of Singapore’s hottest beach bars. The restobar at Siloso Beach, Sentosa, has unveiled a brand new food menu with an extensive range of Mediterranean and international cuisine. Apart from sunbathing and sipping on a Mojito at the swim-up bar, you can now enjoy a sumptuous seafood meal while admiring a panoramic view of the sea.

Fish and chips is to the British what the burger is to Americans. At The Queen & Mangosteen British restobar in VivoCity, the deep-fried fishy dish is unsurprisingly the best-selling item. Unlike the traditional fish and chips, this dish comes with a twist. What is it? Read on to find out! The first thing that strikes you about The Queen & Mangosteen is probably its memorable name. So how did […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/queen-and-mangosteen/feed/ 13 https://sparklette.net/food/one-twenty-six/ https://sparklette.net/food/one-twenty-six/#comments Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:01:30 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=987

How does live music, good food, and a cool Sea Breeze sound to you? At 1 Twenty Six in East Coast Park, you can enjoy a meal and drinks while admiring a view of the sea and the ships in the distance. The dining arm of this restobar goes by the name Coast, offering a communal dining concept. If this sounds familiar, that’s because its sister, Roast at One Rochester, […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/one-twenty-six/feed/ 12 https://sparklette.net/food/one-rochester/ https://sparklette.net/food/one-rochester/#comments Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:11:11 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=943

Can you name one place in Singapore that offers the most memorable dining experience? For me, that would most certainly be Rochester Park. Whether it is the 1930s heritage colonial bungalows or the lush garden setting, the environment is one-of-a-kind. In terms of unique ambience, I would be hard-pressed to find another place that comes close. The last time I visited One Rochester, one of the 8 tenants at Rochester […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/one-rochester/feed/ 17 https://sparklette.net/food/dallas/ https://sparklette.net/food/dallas/#comments Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:03:48 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=876

Love ribs? You now have another alternative. dallas restaurant & bar at Boat Quay draws crowds for its ribs alone! It was at Tony Roma’s where I had my first rack of perfectly barbecued baby back ribs. Eventually Jerry’s, with their tender and meaty ribs that ooze flavour with every bite, became the first place I recommend for ribs. Lately I have been hearing rave reviews about the ribs at […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/dallas/feed/ 7 https://sparklette.net/food/brussels-sprouts/ https://sparklette.net/food/brussels-sprouts/#comments Sun, 11 Nov 2007 15:02:34 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/brussels-sprouts/

I’ll admit it – I’m crazy about beer. And I especially have a weak spot for Belgian beer. One of the best places to enjoy it would be Brussels Sprouts at Mohamed Sultan Road. This Belgian bar-restaurant boasts over 70 different kinds of beer. From malty full-bodied to light fruity, everyone would be able to find his favourite beer here!

One Sunday afternoon, I chilled out at Brotzeit. It’s a German bar restaurant at VivoCity. Enjoying a good ol’ German beer in the alfresco area overlooking the sea (with Sentosa in the distance) was totally relaxing! Credit Seriously, nothing beats having a stress-free day drinking beer by the sea. Since then, Brotzeit has become one of my favourite places to sit down for a cold beer, besides Brewerkz. The atmosphere […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/brotzeit/feed/ 15 https://sparklette.net/food/da-paolo-at-rochester-park/ https://sparklette.net/food/da-paolo-at-rochester-park/#comments Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:52:35 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/da-paolo-at-rochester-park/

Having had such a wonderful and memorable Christmas dining experience at graze, I returned there on a different occasion barely a couple weeks later. Unfortunately it doesn’t open for lunch so Da Paolo, its adjacent neighbour at Rochester Park, played host to us instead. Comparing Rochester Park in daytime and night time, there is a stark contrast. In the day, this place seems almost lifeless with few customers even during […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/da-paolo-at-rochester-park/feed/ 17 https://sparklette.net/food/the-blooies-roadhouse-bar-grill/ https://sparklette.net/food/the-blooies-roadhouse-bar-grill/#comments Tue, 13 Jun 2006 06:18:12 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=398

I have never actually been to Science Park before until a recent job assignment gave me the opportunity. When my client suggested lunch, I was expecting a café or a canteen. I did a double take when I found ourselves at The BLooiE’s Roadhouse Bar & Grill, tucked at the first level of the Aquarius in Science Park II. The restaurant appears to cater primarily to the working crowd, as […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/the-blooies-roadhouse-bar-grill/feed/ 4 https://sparklette.net/food/giraffe/ https://sparklette.net/food/giraffe/#comments Sun, 07 May 2006 13:45:25 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=373

So, I finally got a chance to dine at the Giraffe Restaurant and Bar over at Istana Park. It’s not the food that draws me, but the chic look of the place. Housed in a double-storey glass building amidst water and greenery, diners are nicely isolated from the bustling weekend crowd in town. You enter the restaurant on a raised glass platform with water flowing beneath your feet. Right away […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/giraffe/feed/ 22
